Hi Kathy. I had a copper line as well. It was really long and created a lot of tension where it attached to the fridge in back. This was because the copper line had to be folded in a way for the fridge to slide back in. The tension at the connection resulted in my pump and the mechanicals being pulled away from the fridge and creating a significant leak. When BestBuy arrived to deliver and install the fridge they easily cut away the unnecessary copper line length. They then had a tool that allowed them to easily attach the copper line to the new water line. It took less than 5 minutes. The new water line moved freely enough that when the fridge was slid back in place there is now zero tension where the line connects to the fridge. They make longer lines if you feel that you really need one longer than 6 feet. With that said, if there is a copper line in place leave it. The BestBuy installation guys can then attach the new line to the existing copper and you don't have to worry about the extra length needed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Use a brass coupling. You can find one at a good hardware store.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not sure how far away your source is in feet. But I needed two hoses because my connection is a little over 8 feet away.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Be prepared to pay extra like we had to. Best Buy charged us $134.99 for water line installation and the water kit that came with refrigerator could not be used. We live in a modular home and they had to crawl underneath, but they connected that part to reverse osmosis under sink at no charge. Still we paid $250 extra for the eater installation in addition to a Best Biys charge for installation and they delay for delivery.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Forget it keep exsisting line you would have to buy a longer one at home depot or lowes not worth it
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, they won't. They make you have the kit to deliver it, but they will only make a connection from right behind new refrigerator/freezer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes they will. For mine they had to use a white liNE and then connected it to copper from the hot water heater with a shut off.
