cheers for that but it needs a cold water feed , as i am sure you realisedsounds a bit of a daft question plumbing in a fridge but I assume it's got an ice maker
here's a rough idea for you

nooooooooo!
its a fridge, not a bath!
most ice maker fridges (i have one) use the small plastic pipe that RO machines use. these use puch fit conections - not sure how they suggest you plumb to the mains....i already had a tap into the mains that fitted it.
just read the manual above.....fair enough, some use bigger pipe - but be sure, i've never seen one like that before but seen lots using RO tubing.

I have one too Tiggsy, I've had several.
You say you don't know how to plumb it into the mains but rubbish others suggestions of how to do so?
The small bore pipe you mention will come from the fridge and have a fitting on the end that will attach to a washing machine tap like the one in the picture.
To the OP, obviously make sure you connect to the rising main, not the cold water tank should there be one.

Just to add to the confusion....You say you don't know how to plumb it into the mains but rubbish others suggestions of how to do so?

Virtually ALL the fridges I've plumbed came with 6mm plastic pipe to connect them and a simple John Guest style fitting on the fridge end, but the fitting described above to fit a washing machine tap is sometimes, as an alternative, 1/2" to screw onto a 15mm isolating valve of some sort with the compression nut discarded.
