WTB: RO faucet adapter
- Thread starter jahmic

You have options sir, I did the faucet hookup thing (bought mine at Ace in greeley) you need to bring in a piece of it. There are several thread types and it's easy to get the wrong one. You can also splice a line under your sink (I had my kold steril hooked up this way in my apt). Make a T connection from your water to the RO. When you move, you can either mend it or replace the hose, $5 at lowes.
Chris may have one for me. If that doesn't work out, I'll definitely take some pics under the sink.
The main issue though, is that my carriage house (complete with barn doors) was converted like 50-60 years ago. To put things in perspective, I have a vintage gas stove...that was clearly installed before the walls were completed because there's no way it could've fit otherwise, lol. Due to the lax (or lack of) inspections back then, there is no insulation in that room. The copper pipes under the sink, to prevent from freezing, are basically wrapped in insulation with a sleeve of PVC over them. There MAY be a couple places the copper is exposed, but I'll have to check again. I just remember taking a glance then having a "f--k no" moment when considering tapping that line.

You could always get a saddle valve to pierce the copper if you needed I am sure mine will proabbly work for you. If it was not for the RAT BASTARD trying to steal my Jeep and Truck we could meet up today. I already went to the Junkyard and got the new window and put it in now just have to repair all the steering column parts.
I'm glad they didn't get your rides...I wasn't so lucky a few years ago. Feel free to get in touch when things are all set on your end, I'm in no huge hurry as I probably have 2 weeks worth of RO on standby til I get my filter hooked up.
Thanks everyone on the leads for parts, it's sounding like I have more options than I thought.
