RODI unit not attaching to sink

[Shaina Carey]

Only place I can put my RO buddie is my bathroom sink, and it is not attaching. I need help. I can't unscrew the pipes either

I had a similar issue, I connected to the metal flex line with a T fitting and put a compression fitting on the other end. I’ll find the fitting on amazon and link it for a picture reference

Do you have a picture of the cold water line connection below that sink? Connecting a John Guest 1/4”x3/8”x3/8” angle stop valve is pretty easy to do and it’s a removable, non permanent connection.

That’s what I used to connect to my basement utility sink... works great

Would a Y adapter thing work in this space?

yes

Yep put it on the cold water pipe. I would use a metal "Y". Then add one of these.

Modern faucets are not made to be taken apart like the old ones. They also have weird threads if you do get them apart.

no, it would need a manual valve.
