Any car audio or car eletronics shop can install a basic alarm for under fifty bucks. Adding a remote starter and door locks and trunk release and all that only takes it to two-fifty or so. The basic alarm that you want is on the shelf for $29.95 or so. -Stuart

Just get a 1/4 compression coupling at a hardware store, cut out the kink with a small tubing cutter, and couple the 2 pieces together.

DSM is right. Get a plastic line. They are cheaper, easier to install, and don't require tools. I like the plastic lines because I clean behind my fridge (and retrieve cat toys) frequently. Rolling the fridge in and out would eventually break a copper line. Leave plenty of excess line so the fridge can be rolled out far enough to squeeze in behind it. I put the excess in a loop and tie each loop to the next loop with a rubber band, that way it stays up off the floor and the fridge doesn't roll over it when I push it back in.
