mains piping for a fridge freezer

tipptom

does anyone know where i can get piping for the ice and water dispensor,samsung seem to assume your water is only going to be a couple of metres away,think its about 4mm,have one on but not proper psi,something going to give.

What sort of fittings are on the back of the fridge. Can you post a pic?

i have the fittings,they pipe goes over the fitting and then screws down with a plastic nut.

Dont extend it with the small bore stuff, use that to get to the next cupboard or accessible panel, make it on to a washing machine valve, then bring it in 1/2" from there to your mains tee off point. Simple!

Exactly... Run half inch as far as possible and then finish in small bore. Any good plumbers providers will see you right.

Thanks for the replys,i have tried p j mathews and a load of others incl gas part supp,they have nothing that reduces half inch to 4mm even bringing it down in stages,it would also have to reduce it twice at the filter as well as the fridge,there is a metal reducer on the mains now that came with the fridge but thats it,so thats why i thought it would be easier to just put in a new line with the suitable psi.

the fittings can be got as a spare part from fridge manufacturer

the piping is 6mm - this along with fittings can also be purchased from a place in tallaght , a water filter and supply company based in the south city business park , can't think of the name at the moment but google shud help you

Just to let you know,that time i needed a little kind of a nut to fit over and squeeze down on the 6 mm pipe,couldnt get it anywhere,but got 2 spare ones with 2 filters from e bay,think they worked out about €12 delivered,one crowd in limerick at the time quoted me €80 for one filter!.
