Can I run a water line from OUTSIDE to my refrigerator for the ice maker / water dispenser?
The sink is directly across from the fridge and my house sits on concrete slab so there really isn’t a way to run it from there. Outside my house there’s a water outlet (for lack of a better term.. I’m no plumber!) and I’m wondering if it would be ok to use that and run it into the house. Any info is appreciated!!

can you run the line in the ceiling between sink and fridge? This may be the only way to accomplish this. Running it from outside is not practical but perhaps you can find the line in the wall that feeds your outside spigot. Good luck if you need any advice contact me.PS a house on a slab is perfectly legal everywhere
this depends on the climate in which you live. if it’s cold enough to turn off the outside water to keep it from freezing, this isn’t a good choice as you wouldn’t have water to the fridge in the winter…
other options include getting the hose and fittings from home depot or lowes, etc, and running it under cabinetry or baseboards inside from under the kitchen sink. they have a simple clamp on vavle for just this kind of thing…
also, most building codes don’t allow a house to sit on a slab w/o a crawl space of some sort… maybe double check this.
