-------------------------------------

I was just told by a plumber that the way my ice maker is hooked up is
illegal. It is a plastic tube attached from the back of the refrigerator
through a hole in the wall down to a water source in the basement. He
told me that they now require some sort of a box in the wall behind the
refrigerator. This is the first time I have heard of such a thing. What
can anyone tell me about this? He quoted me $600 to install the box. Does
this seem like a fair quote?

The box is for water fuses, right? ;-)

My gut reaction is that he's trying to rip you off. However if you
want to know for sure, call the building inspector--there is no single
building code recognized everywhere in the world so it is concievable
that you inhabit some locality in which there really is such a
requirement.
