Hello,

Will 50 feet of 1/4 inch OD water supply tubing cause any problems in water dispensing or ice making ?

If tubing goes up and down inside 8 feet high walls, will problems develop wrt air bubbles ?

Lastly, will Watts poly tubing ( white translucent ) last a lifetime inside the walls ?

As you guessed I'm installing a new ice & water dispensing refrigerator.

Thank you for your kind attention.

Mich

Do not put tubing inside of walls, cause no matter what leaks do happen. 50 feet of 1/4" is reducing the water capacity, and eventually lead to problems.
