Have there been Issues with the tubing/valve. My home was built in 2004.
I know my toilets have the same valves and connected tubing
water damage from a leaky fridge is a bad thing - don't be cheap on this valve and line - use robust copper and a good valve that you can shutoff in need be - speaking from experience
