I had Fluidmaster 12IM120-2 installed on my brand new refrigerator in my brand new house many years ago. From day 1, the water and ice dispensed from the refrigerator had a weird odor and I could not drink the water due to the unpleasant odor. I thought there was something wrong with the refrigerator all these years and very frustrated that I could not find where the problem was. I called a refrigerator technician one last time, he suggested and replaced the connector and solved the problem. It appeared to have defective seals as shown in the picture which I took. I am very furious with all the years I faced with the odor because of it.

    Works Great on Samsung Fridge. 1/4" Connectors, Strong Steel Braiding
    I had to install a new fridge with icemaker/water dispenser in a home that never had one before, where the water line was downstairs and quite a ways from where the fridge would be, this 120" connector line worked perfectly. It's full braided stainless steel line with 1/4" female connectors on each end. These 1/4" ends will fit almost all the icemakers/water lines built into fridges out there. I hooked one end up to the fridge and it screwed on tightly. The other end was screwed onto the shut-off valve and it also went on well with no issues or leaks. Adjust with the proper sized wrench so you don't strip the connector. This is a far better product than cheap vinyl lines and their loose fittings. You can depend on this lines for years to come. There was no odd taste after the line was flushed with around three gallons of water to clean the lines as you should always do after an install of new lines. I will be buying this for any other refrigerator icemaker/water dispenser installs and replacements from now on.

    Just What We Needed
    Many reviews from this kind of hose complained about the taste of the ice cubes. I dumped the first bucket and I can't taste the difference between bagged store- bought ice and this. As a matter of fact ,this ice tastes better. Hooked up in less than ten minutes. I'm very satisfied with this product.

          Quality Icemaker Hose
          Have used these hoses in the past and they are durable and reliable. Was able to get it in the needed length. The shipping to store was quick and customer service notified me promptly when it arrived.

          Worked perfectly
          Worked perfectly as described, even comes with instructions and helpful hints. Only wish the store carried it in stock. I could only get it online, then sent to the store for pickup. Added a couple days to the install, but no big deal unless your in a hurry.

          Perfect 96" Icemaker Water Line
          This is a competitively priced 8' icemaker water line. The steel braid feels more like plastic than steel, but it appears to be well constructed. It was easy to install and it doesn't leak.

          Only product to buy
          This hose, unlike most of the competition is actually safe to use and is warranted for more than a year. Installs quickly and easily and works exactly as promised. Couldn't be happier.

          Get the right length you need
          The installation took but three minutes. Made the hole around the existing line larger using a multi tool cutter. used a 1/4 to 1/4 coupler to pull the new unit through using the old line. This line is wider so use a tie wrap to secure to refrigerator.

          Ice Maker Hose
          Works as expected. Like that there is no compression ferrule. Easy to install.

          works Great
          Great quality. Didn't have any problems twisting or turning around corners. I let the water run to clear any dust or contaminants. Good price for the length.

          Perfect Length
          The length was perfect fit for what I needed. There is no after taste from the connector. Should last for many years. Like it a lot better than the copper tubing I had been using for years.

          great item
          Best hose I have found so far for my icemaker. Every other hose including copper has cracked and leaked. This hose was easy to install, is very strong and very flexible.

          SS are the best!
          Used for my swamp cooler lines with my water filter in between. Easy now to winterize and change out filters without a leak.

          Just the right product!
          I have a 8.5 foot distance between the waterline connection under my kitchen sink to the back of the refridgerator. I had coupled two smaller separate lines together initally, but did not want to take the chance the coupling might breach at some point in the future causing cabinet and subfloor floor damage without notice. This waterline suits the space well and now I have peace of mind. Thank you Home Depot, since this longer length is not generally available in-store and I didn't want to go to a specialty plumbing fixture store to make the purchase!

          120 IN. ICEMAKER CONNECTOR
          The connector made of tough core covered with braided stainless steel wire is sturdy and very easy to install. We replaced the old plastic connector and feel this is a much better product

          Not too long, not too short
          Works fine for icemaker. Most braided SS lines for me were too short or way too long. This one is just perfect.

          Perfect in everyway
          No brain installation. The hose has been installed for around a month now with no leaks, no taste, no problems. Well constructed and the 60" is more than enough for a floor level water output/input application.

          Product real easy to install
          Had to connect two pieces together since I needed 20 feet of line. Real simple to hook up to fridge and water line under sink. No soldering or having to wonder if the compression connection is correct like in copper lines.
