Just to clarify, the push-pull valve at the wall behind the refrigerator has nothing to do with the refrigerator warranty. The valve will be open all the time. The refrigerator has its own solenoid valve that controls the water flow into the refrigerator. But, Home Depot may not allow unlicensed plumbers to connect the refrigerator to the house water system. If the connection leaks, Home Depot could be liable for damages because they hired an unlicensed plumber. It doesn't really matter what kind of valve they install, the connection can leak. It may be a good policy for Home Depot, but I would want the installer to make the water connection.
