Use copper or PEX tubing for the ice maker connection; polyethylene tubing and piercing-type or small saddle valves are not recommended because they restrict flow and clog more easily. Source: Whirlpool - Modular Ice Maker Kit Installation Instructions (W11548724)
Standard refrigerators should not be installed where temperatures drop below about 60°F or exceed 110°F; cold thickens compressor oil and heat can break it down and damage the sealed system. Source: GE Appliances - Refrigerator Installation Location and Temperature
