Hello all, the missus has bought an American fridge freezer, which need connecting to a water supply. Conveniently situated the other side of the kitchen wall to where the fridge needs to go is the mains inlet/meter to the house.
I was thinking that I could tee off the incoming pipe (above the meter obviously), drill a hole through the wall and supply it that way.
Clearly I would turn off the mains tap first, but how do I stop water flowing back down from the other side of the cut? Or do I just have to be quick and have a mop handy? Any advice? I'm perfectly capable of doing something stupid, so any tips gratefully received...
