1/4" Water Lines
1/4″ water lines refer to the size of the pipes used in a plumbing system to transport water. These pipes are typically made of copper, PEX, or PVC and are used for smaller water supply lines such as those for toilets, sinks, and appliances. They are called 1/4″ lines because the inside diameter of the pipe is 1/4 inch. These water lines are durable, easy to install, and cost-effective solutions for small water supply needs, but they have a lower flow rate compared to larger water lines. It is important to use the correct size water line for the intended purpose to ensure proper water flow and to avoid any potential issues.

These small water supply lines are easy to install and provide a sufficient flow of water for these appliances. It is important to use the correct size water line and to properly connect it to the refrigerator to ensure proper functioning of the ice maker and water dispenser.

It is important to use the correct size water line and to properly connect it to the coffee machine to ensure proper functioning of the water tank and the coffee machine.
