Because of my kitchen's configuration, the water line for the ice maker must go behind the stove. Unfortunately, the plumber put in a plastic tubing line which, when using the oven, became too hot and melted the tube (water everywhere!).

Is copper tubbing OK to use for the water line? I'm hopping that the heat from the oven won't melt it too if it's safe for human consumption through this type of line.

Thanks for your help!

Sorry for your meltdown Ceecii,

1/8th inch copper tubing is all we used to use for icemaker lines. Then along came plastic that was cheaper and easier to install. The heat from the oven won't melt the copper line, trust me! Good luck, Tom
