FAUCET ADAPTOR FOR R/O

[SirFragalot]

Where can I find a good sink faucet adaptor for R/O units? I can't tie mine in under the sink and have been using a plastic garden hose adaptor that is becoming stripped from taking it on/off the sink faucet. Looking for a good quick connect/disconnect method.

John guest makes a new ball valve style that goes right on the undersink angle valve or any other 3/8 comp fittings. That would be the best option.

I use this - got it from the last AWI group buy:

Thanks. Both are great ideas. What about something like this?

This is what I have been using with an additional adaptor for the sink. The plastic threads are getting stripped.

That's exactly what you need. The adapter pictured comes standard on a couple of RO/DI Units.

Correct. The garden hose adaptor came attached to the Coralife PureFlo 2 unit that I have with larger diameter tubing for the main line.

Good news is we are working on a filter buy. So if you can wait should be able to get them at a discount.

That IS good news. Hopefully I can hold out. It popped off the faucet yesterday due to the shady threads. That was fun explaining to the wife why the kitchen ceiling was wet. ;D

HD sells that adapter in brass. It's in the plumbing aisle with the other brass fittings.

Marine depot has one that works perfectly with the 1/4" line. You can take the unit on and off, and leave the adapter in place, its also an aerator. Says it works with most sinks though, so no promises.

So you know the air water ice one wont work on a laundry sink, you need a garden hose one. The threads are too small and fine. I think its more for if you unscrewed your aerator from your bath sink then you can screw it on.

I think this is the way to go. I have one similar for my ro in the basement, works great

I appreciate everyone's feedback/suggestions.

I think I have decided to just install the RO unit where my washer and dryer are. I am looking for a quick connect hose bib or adaptor that will accept 3/8 RO tubing since that is what came as the supply line for my unit. I would prefer metal threads over the plastic since my plastic one has stripped out from connecting and disconnecting from the sink over time. I will put a Y connector on the "cold" sypply line for the washer which I can get at any hardware store. However, I am hoping someone out there knows where I can get the quick connect hose bib without having to order one.

Similar to the BFS-358 in this link.

SirFrag,

I did something similar where I got a Y splitter, but longer than the one on AWI and then connected a gate valve to one of the splices to attach the faucet adapter/hose adapter from my RO unit to then ran the other cold water line directly to the washer. I think it cost me about $20 in all to setup, but now when I need to make water I simply go turn the gate valve and then let it run, can also run the washer at the same time as the Y split is for high preasure.
