One of the very best " how to" videos ever. No music, no jokes, no waffle, no mumbling. Just brilliant

I've been working with piping and plumbing for over 30 years. I watched this video as a refresher for piping up a fridge. It was superb!!! You provide important detail on ferrules and explain why one approach may be better. It's one of the best instructional videos I've ever seen, of any kind. Bravo brother!

This is the how-to video of the year right here folks, the level of insight he provides deserves an award.

My wife and I decided not to hook up the water line to our fridge. But after watching your video and how easy you made it seem, we plan to hook it up today. Thank you for your help and very informative video 👍

This is a how a "How to" video should be done. I like how you showed the different options that are available and demonstrated and explained in detail how to do each one.

The best how to plumbing video posted on YouTube in many years. It's the best because you give different options for different situations. Most how to videos just show the one way the producer did it. You go above and beyond so that it applies to many more people. Thank you very much!

i stood at the hardware store saying “plastic or brass ferrule” “do i need this insert tube or not” “is this plastic tubing compatible with this sharkbite” you answered everything and even more. please keep making videos!

[rimshot]

Thanks for the clear, easy, concise but thorough video. Got a new fridge and replaced the copper coil with plastic line, thanks for the tips and expertise, I did it in no time and WITHOUT SWEARING ONCE! No extra trips to the hardware store, one and done! Thanks again.

I want to thank you for explaining in detail on how to install the lines. Exactly 30 years ago today I got married tomorrow is exactly 4years since husband passed away. He was a mechanic an I a house wife but know some on fixing things up. Now I'm going through my 3 time with cancer an this time around I'm not thinking correctly. Few days ago I received that news. I live by myself an mostly I'm doing all the fixer uppers. Not much of income so instead of buying expensive products I look an see what I have then buy what's needed. When you explain different ways an you did a one hell of a job, I am most confident that this should not be that difficult. You are amazing.
Now how do you fix an furnace...lol

I knew how to do this in theory, but wanted to come to an expert to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Like always, your videos are super clear. Nobody explains plumbing better than you.

Man. Best how-to video I've ever seen. I just bought a 100+ year old house and need to get the fridge connected. Perfect video

[nana_untamed]

Ugh my husband is always busy with work I'm trying to learn to surprise him, that way he won't have to.

[HellBettyDana]

Geek Squad refused to connect my water line because I had an existing copper line. I swapped it out for braided stainless steel, as recommended by Bosch, just following your video. No leaks, great water pressure and easy. Thank you for such a detailed and easy to follow DIY tutorial, you’ve acquired a new subscriber.

Another great video!
I worked for a plumbing company sub-contracted by an insurance flood and fire restoration firm. Top floods were caused by frozen pipes. washing machine supplies bursting and plastic fridge lines with metal ferrules or piercing saddle valves.

Thank you SO much for posting this! We developed a pinhole leak in the water tube for the ice cube maker a few inches up from the connection and your instructions enabled me to cut off the few inches, reassemble the outer plastic sleeve and inner metal one properly in order to screw it back into place with no leaks. Saved me a lot of money for something simple! :D

[Velcrostraps]

The way this man makes his how to's should be the standard. Youtube shouldn't even let them be uploaded if not to this standard.

[victorquesada]

Fine. I'm getting it done this weekend. Finally, after having fridges that have this feature for 6 years now lol.

[MasterWingman]

Your intro alone answered all the questions that I had aboutt this type of project. I went to Home Depot looking for the Brass compression coupling and two people that worked there said this can't be done LOL I'm glad i found your video b/c I can customize my tubing instead of just using what was supplied by the water filter since I wanted to run it further what was given. And thank you for leaving the links for the supply. I wish I saw this first instead of wasting my time with the narrow minded people. Real pros will find solutions and get the job done.

5 minutes into this video and I already have to say it is excellent pointing out so many helpful tips Love the cardboard for in front of the refrigerator I used to do kitchen remodeling and we used to actually carry with us a quarter inch piece of 30x30 plywood just for such appliance movement and installation or removal.

This video was better than This Old House vid and other people’s vids. I’m glad he show every aspect of it and important pieces like plastic ferrels. Other vids don’t even mention the ferrel and how important it is. I know, I had to clean up a bunch of water just now.
