The saddle valve for our ice maker line is leaking. Is it better to just do a direct replacement or should we change the setup?
I normally avoid electrical or plumbing, but I’m otherwise pretty handy. I saw this valve was leaking, so I figured it should be easy enough to just replace it. I looked up a few how-to videos and they all seem to recommend cutting out that section of pipe and crimping/soldering in a new T fitting. Would it be the end of the world if I used a new saddle valve or should I put in the 3-way fitting?
