hook up ice maker line. already have a valve on the floor behind fridge but...3/8"
I have this LG fridge and i bought this tube kit at home depot to hook it up. behind the fridge the builder already made this valve for ice maker on the floor. problem is the nut on that tube is 1/4" which is smaller than the 3/8" valve. it comes with this saddle piercing valve but i don't need that because i dont have a pipe running there. attached pictures
I tried to find a 1/4 x 3/8 adapter at Home Depot but the guy said there's nothing there that can fit and told me find a plumber to install for me.
should i just switch out that valve on the floor to a 1/4"? it looks like i can just unbolt it and put a new one in. so i find one that has one end 3/8" and the other end 1/4" ?
or is there any other easier way to do this? i've never really touched plumbing before
thanks !
