Faucet adapter

Angela2016 · Mar 16, 2016

I want to hook my rodi unit up in the half bath but I can't find an adapter to go from the bathroom faucet to the standard faucet connector on my unit. I need a double male adapter. I can't find one with the bathroom sink size that also has the standard size too. Is there such a thing?

Look up a faucet diverter. That should be what you're looking for.

I have the diverter now I need the adapter to attach it to the bathtoom faucet. I found one that will connect to the kitchen sink but I can't have my kitchen sink tied up for days at a time. And for some reason my laundry room just doesn't have enough pressure.

Any hardware store will have it in stock including home depot, Lowes, ace and true value. I would suggest unscrewing the aerator on your faucet and taking it with you. Probably less than $10.

If it were me though I would use a feed water adapter on the cold water supply line under the sink so the faucet isn't tied up for hours, about the same $$.

You could install it between the shut off valve under your sink and the supply line to the faucet. That is how mine is hooked up mine is under my kitchen sink but much cleaner than the diverter. It is more permanent than the diverter you just stash the RODI system under the sink and leave it there.

This one has a shut off valve

You can also buy an adapter to have the waste go directly into the drain under the sink.

Unfortunately I'm renting this home and I don't know how much longer we will be in this house. Not sure if I should tap into the water line.
I looked at lowes and they had many different adaptors but nothing for bathroom sinks. I wss hoping someone here had an idea of an online store that might have them.

Following... was wanting the same.

A feed water adapter does not damage or permanently alter the plumbing in any way. You shut the cold water supply valve off, unscrew the line to the faucet, screw the adapter on and screw the supply line to it. No tapping, drilling or cutting and you can remove it when you decide to move with no evidence it was ever there. All of 5 minutes time.

Yep, just grab an adapter from from home depot. I have one for my bathroom apartment and it just screws into the faucet, nothing permanent and no damage

AZDesertRat · Mar 16, 2016

Not the faucet adapter, a feedwater adapter so you can still use the faucet.

This is what I used, http://www.homedepot.com/p/NEOPERL-...2Fmcn9ARV14O1QIfHZcM8aAhQj8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds When I need to make RODI water I just screw the feed line in, make water and then unscrew it when I am finished

I manage apt complexes. I used a t adapter on my water line. You shut off the water at the shut off on the wall, unscrew the supply line leading to the faucet. Screw in the t adapter. I think I used one designed for a water line for an ice maker. You screw in you faucet supply line to the top, larger male end, and your supply for you water system to the smaller male end on the side. Turn water back on, test for leaks. If you are in an older building or don't feel comfortable talk to a maintenance person there. They would rather you ask then try and possibly damage something.

I found a faucet adaptor to locline so all u do is hook it up to faucet and attach the line to ur rodi unit up to it. Simple, cheap, and easily removable. I'll see if I can find the link. If not I did the same thing with another adapter from Menard and a 90 elbow in conjunction so it doesn't bend the hose or put stress on the adaptor.

The tee adapter Thomas is talking about is the feed water adapter I linked to. Much much better than a faucet adapter. Try one, all of you, you will never use a faucet adapter after that. If you have a crescent wrench or pair of pliers you have every thing you need along with 5 minutes tops.
