Answer 4

Go to any Lowe's ,  Home Depot,  Menards, Ace hardware and ask for a Ice Maker kit.  It comes with 1/4" plastic tubing and a saddle valve.  The instructions are right on the package.  If after the installation your ice maker makes what looks like 1/2 cubes then the valve did not pierce the opening big enough..  either tighten the "T" handle deeper into the pipe ...... or.......Shut off the water,  remove the saddle valve,   and use a very small drill bit to enlarge the hole just a little bit,,  and  I mean just a little .  Replace the saddle valve and check for leaks...
