Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there no drain on this box?
Because nothing is discharged.
An ice maker consumes what it takes.
So does a plumbed water dispenser.
There is no waste to connect.
That is why the box is smaller.
What is it actually for?
Letting the fridge stand flat.
A surface valve and tail project.
Holding the appliance off the wall.
In a fitted kitchen that shows.
Recessing the valve removes it.
What size is the supply?
Small-bore, not full plumbing size.
A quarter-inch line is typical.
Push-fit or compression to a flexible tail.
The box terminates that neatly.
It is not sized to carry machine flow.
Should the water be filtered?
Usually yes - it becomes ice and drinks.
An inline filter on the feed is normal.
Plan where it goes and how to change it.
Behind a full-height fridge is awkward.
Far easier to decide now than later.
Can I use it for a dishwasher instead?
No - a dishwasher has to drain.
This box has no waste connection.
And the supply is undersized for one.
Use the dishwasher and appliance box.
It is a different product.
Does the valve need to be reachable?
Yes, and it is easy to overlook.
The feed is permanently live.
Behind an appliance nobody moves.
The box face is the only access.
Site it where a hand can get to it.
What happens if the line freezes?
It can split, and it is small-bore.
Which makes it quick to freeze.
Avoid running it through cold voids.
Or an unheated garage wall.
Insulate any exposed length.
