This attaches using a pressure fitting at each end, not appropriate for a cold water tap. If you get a saddle valve to tap the copper line to the cold water, then you could hook this from the saddle valve to the fridge, or you could look for a diverter valve adapter to attach to the faucet ,and then this to the compression fitting.

It's possible technically, but it's not a good idea. However if it's just a bar or a prep sink, then it becomes more viable provided you have correct expectations. So in short, no, it should not be connected to the cold water feed on your kitchen faucet. There isn't enough water. The system has a 3.2 gallon reservoir tank, which is more than enough for drinking and cooking use, but it's not enough to feed a kitchen faucet which dispenses water at 2.5 gallons per minute. If you were to connect it to your kitchen faucet, turn on the water, and then turn your back for a minute to tend to your kids or answer a text, by the time you turned back around the tank would be dry and you'd have to wait a couple of hours for more water. As an alternative to drilling a new hole you can go to a "tri-flow" faucet with hot, cold, and filtered water inputs. Or if you sink has more than one hole, but the current faucet occupies all the holes, then get a single handle faucet, remove its base-plate, and use the extra hole(s) for the RO faucet (and a soap dispenser if possible).

As with any water supplying device if it is located outside or in say an unheated cottage during the winter when temperatures fall below freezing you should winterize it. By winterizing I mean disconnecting the water supply line and the shower handle assembly so that all remaining water drains out of the unit. If the unit must be connected for some reason during freezing temperatures you could try applying what's called heat tape to the water supply line. I would use a length of heat tape that goes all the way up to where the water supply line connects to the unit. Additionally you could make a wooden box structure opened on one side and lined with foam board to further protect the unit. The box structure would be mounted to the wall where the unit hangs covering it and adding extra protection in conjunction with the heat tape.

The unit uses 1 inch plumbing. You would have to use an adapter. It's a simple piece to put on.

Not sure, I actually got a new fridge shortly after buying this item that has a water tap built into it so I don't use it anymore. Sorry couldn't be more helpful.

I should think so, I tried to use it to connect shower connections, but that is not what it was probably meant for, probably it is more in line with use in a faucet and should be safe. Thanks. Hope this helps. Have a nice day/evening (depending on when you read this).

Well, this is made to go onto the main water pipe feeding your house, so you may not have access to that. For an apartment maybe one that fits onto your faucet might be better.

That's exactly what I'm using mine for. I hooked it to the hot water line below my sink and have instant hot water. The cold water in the line that used to run for about a minute out of my spout mixes with the water in the unit so that I never get cool water when running the hot water side of my faucet.

I'm not sure the unit is intended for external installation. Mine is under an inside sink. That having been said, the water connections are on the bottom. it seems to me that if you shut off the valve and unscrew the water connections, the water would with the help of gravity, drain out of the unit.

I'm assuming your fridge is painted or stainless and you don't want to use chemicals. in this case I would use hot water dripped or poured towards the adhesive side on top. or if you have a steam iron that "shoots" steam out, use that.

Yes you can easily, I would not hook up to the SAME line as your refrigerator , but you could use a ice maker install kit and just tap into any cold water line within the 20-25 ft limit of the install kit. I would suggest using an anti siphon valve though to prevent back flow. On the bowl end you would need an adapter that goes from a standard 3/4 inch PIPE thread(not 3/4 garden hose thread, because it's too loose and will leak) to a compression fitting end for the install kit, which any home improvement store will carry.

If you have a keg fridge with a tap, this will work quite well with bottling. It prevent foaming. I use it to fill growlers but it should work ok with smaller bottles.

This will work for a fridge conversion that is what I used it for. But I caution you that this is only part of what you need you will need a regulator and co2 tank I used this to add a tap to my system so that I would have two difrent kinds of beer

The water coming from the cold side will be room temperature, or rather under-sink-cabinet temperature. We have since disconnected power to this hot water tap and our power bill went down by $30 per month. We only use it now to dispense the "cold" water. I would not recommend this product now.

Since this filter is only attached to the cold water line, I don't see any reason why it can't also be attached to a single tap. It does not connect in any way to the hot water line in a main faucet installation.

Hi Harry, You have probably already have your answer, but I'll add my 2 cents. My sink in across the room from the toilet, so I couldn't really run a hot water line. I have a cold only connection and I haven't found that I have had any trouble with the temp., even here in Minnesota. If you can run a plastic or copper water line from the sink without crossing a walking space, it will work, but you will have to run the bidet a while for the heated water to reach it. I know that's not really a good solution, but short of hiring a plumber it's the best you can do. I hope this helped.
