Plumbing in fridge/freezer

Hi all,

We have been offered an American fridge freezer at a very good price, however needs to be plumbed in.

The fridge will be opposite side of the kitchen to where the sink is, is it ok to just run some flexi pipe all away round under the kitchen cupboards and connect into the cold water feed that way? Approx 5/6m.

There will be a droop down to the floor, run across the floor and then up to the fridge connection. Appreciate the simplistic way I word or but in essence I guess just want to know it will ne possible.

Thanks

Yup, its just a water pipe.

As long as you don't use small bore piping, it should be fine.

Thanks Guys, decided we were just going with it for the sake of it and there was a few things it lacked we liked in others.

Good to know we can plumb in fairly easy for others.

Is this a second hand fridge freezer?

It was yes from a family friend, however decided against it in the end.

Good call.

Second hand remigrations is notoriously unreliable, the problem being it takes days in some instances before you know there is a problem.
