Shop Watts 5/8-in x 10-ft PVC Clear Vinyl Tubing at Lowes.com vinyl tubing
I used clear vinyl tubing from Lowes. Its not expensive and I think it will be a lot better than the white plastic that was installed. I attached a link to the tubing. It is 1/2" ID and 5/8"OD.
Just a few tips:
I used wire ties to secure the tubing to the connector, you could use a hose clamp.
I had an ice chest that was about the right height to pull the fridge out on to and it let me slide the fridge around and work on the back. It let me get it out by myself and make the repair. I did need help to get it back in the cabinet. Its a tight fit and two people make it easy.
I'm sorry for not getting back sooner with this info but we have had a battle with mother nature here in South Carolina. First it was a bad ice storm that shut this state down. Power loss and tree damage was severe. Then we started to recover and had something you probably know more about than I!!! We had a 4.2 earthquake that really rattled me and the house!!! It was my first and I hope it will be my last. It was scary! Anyway all is good now and I am ready to take the coach out for a drive.
I hope all goes well with your fridge, its really not that bad of a job. Good luck.
