Thanks for the reply’s, i think there 20mm push fittings? (or would they be 15mm?) i dont have the side by side yet getting it on the 3rd of next month, but i just wanted to get the bits first so its all ready

im going to put a Speedfit Service Valve On the mains 20mm pipe, and under that a T then come off towards the fridge and put another Speedfit Service Valve (my mains come out of the ground and up to the water tank of course i will fit all this after the stop cock valve so in emergency’s i can turn it all off on the tap) so i can shut the water off if i have to service or move the thing, dose that make sense and is that the way to do it?

Top man thanks again for that 😀

Just looking around the forum….Samsung and Hotpoint don’t seem to be a very good make, i have 2 Hotpoints (over 18 years old now 😯 ) a fridge and a separate freezer and when i got them from new i had issues right from the start, its a shame because Hotpoint USED to be a very good name, thats the reason i chose LG now, they seem to have got it right (I hope)

Re: I just got a side by side

Ok i picked it up, and its in the house, all i have to do is connect it to the mains, it has a reducer (looks like a fixing to go on to a tap! is there another neater way to do it? like a push in T that will take the 8mm pipe and then fit the filter on to that, i must say the instructions are not helpful they look like there out of date, because all the gubbings have already been done at the front and the filter looks like just a push in fitting with the 8mm piping, with (as the instructions say connectors etc) so im gona bash it all in 2morrow and hope it all goes well and no leaking lol
