ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for connecting a residential water line to a household appliance, solenoid controlled, inlet water valve such as that used on a refrigerator freezer icemaker is disclosed. A residential water line, typically a 0.25 inch (0.635 cm) diameter copper or plastic line, is connected to an all plastic inlet connector. The inlet connector has an integral ferrule seat. A ferrule nut designed to cooperate with the ferrule seat is slipped over the water line. The water line is positioned against a shoulder in the inlet connector that properly positions the water line. The ferrule nut is tightened to seal and fix the water line in the inlet connector
