Hi all,
I have a 1/2" copper stub with a compression supply valve to a utility sink in my shop/brewery. The old fridge had 1/4" copper from there to it-not in the wall-about a 30' run and was dirt slow but didn't get much use.
I have a new fridge. On the other side of the garage. If I run a line from the valve to the fridge (30'+ ) is 3/8" plastic ok? Or does it need to be copper? In the wall?
One other thing, I'm also installing a tankless on-demand RO system (iSpring), 1 L/min that I just decided would supply the fridge. Is there a automatic shutoff valve in case someone cuts the (plastic) line? Not too expensive? Lol!
I'm in Los Angeles, CA. Nice that they have their own plumbing code. Nevertheless, UPC would be fine with me. This old house has so many serious code violations a minor plumbing one isn't really an issue.
Thanks for any advice!
Best,
Riley
