Trying to replace icemaker line as the old copper one sprung a leak.
I bought the kit and you would think it wouldn't be much harder than
hooking up a hose to a faucet but of course I am running into trouble,
and I would like to blame it on the vague directions on the bag. I am
having a bitch of a time getting the compression screw onto the
nozzle. How far should the copper line go through the screw?


There are no screws on a compression fitting. Do you mean the nut? if so,
put the nut over the tubing, slip the ferrule over the tubing and leave
about 1/4" showing. Slip that into the female end of the fitting and
tighten the nut.
