I used a Mini-rester to correct a water hammer caused by one of my toilets. I have a Tee water valve coming out of the wall. I turned off the water and removed the copper tube connecting the water valve to the toilet. I used the silver side of the Mini-rester to connect to the water valve. I threw away the copper tube and replaced it with a re-inforced flexible hose to connect from the brass side of the Mini-rester to the toilet. I did not use a compression fitting.

I had the same issue. I had to go to Home Depot, and purchase 2 separate half inch fittings and two additional supply lines in order to be able to reach my valves. I brought the supply lines from the faucet to the Home Depot in order to ensure that I picked up the correct fittings.

in short- yes, the connectors are 3/8" push-in hose and so you are making some serious drops in water flow from 1/2" line. I placed this in my RV and gave it a small dedicated faucet of it's own which works really nice. This basically extends the life of the filter to serious drinking/coffee, but allows my std faucet to handle the cleaning chores. I highly recommend a separate faucet even though they say it can be used with exiting faucet. If you have a sprayer on your current faucet you will be very hard pressed to get it to work with the lower water flow rate. I bought this faucet: http://www.amazon.com/Filter-Purifier-Faucet-European-Brushed/dp/B000KBD2KY/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1381002634&sr=1-3-fkmr0&keywords=purified+water+faucet+stainless or something similar if you can. Because it quick connect fittings, this makes it easy to go from the filter to the 2nd faucet. If you need further info on setting this up- let me know

If you cannot find the the quick-connect fittings, you can also use a 1/4" pipe thread to 1/4" compression thread adapter. I purchased mine on Amazon: Watts LFA23 Compression Male Adapter, 1/4-Inch C x 1/4-Inch MIP. This kills the quick connect, but doesn't cause any problems with using the filter. On my water lines the quick connect fittings used 1/4" compression fittings so once they were removed the adapter fit right in. No leaks.

try their website, we always use a local wholesale plumbing supply place when we need help.....parts for this seem pretty standard

I bought two valves from Lowes. Same problem at first: as long as it's hooked, water just run through. What I found was this is the default status for the valve. To solve it, you need to connect it to the timmer, adjust to manual watering for 1 min, when 1 min is up, the valve shuts off. No problem.

I don't know. Mine came with a couple of attachments that I didn't need and don't use, maybe that was for your special valves. I did not use the part and lost it long ago.

Both the input and output on the valve are 1/2". The included supply lines are 1/2" at one end and 3/8" at the other. Use those to connect from the supply valves to the inputs on the valve. There are also 2 1/2"x3/8" adapters in the kit. Install those on the output side of the valve and connect your faucet to those. Be sure to watch the hot and cold connections on the valve for it to work properly.

Not sure how you managed that...as every hose has both a female and male thread; my guess is that you attached it to an unorthodox female fitting that was attached to your supply valve (which are always male thread)...with that said...this hose sprayer as much as I dislike it...is a standard 5/8 hose thread.

T17038 Includes: Trim, screws, handle and cartridge. You should use the delta universal valve, #10000? For the rough-in plumbing. ($35-40) Then any 'trim kit' will work. Btw, I put in 5 of these and they are fantastic......easy and great to use. Sent from my iPhone. No puppies or trees were harmed by sending this e-mail. Print only if necessary & have a marvelous day!

You will need to purchase a 3/8 to 1/4 brass compression union from a local hardware or old fashioned plumbing supply store.

Dave, you'll need to buy some hose and fittings. I converted my tank to 3/8" hose because the unit comes with 1/4" hose output. I used quick connect fittings also so unhooking hoses is a snap.

I replaced all the compression fittings with barbed niples and put pipe clamps on them but i ran 3/8 tubing. compression fittings are just a pain and they leak way to much

Your right ,slip the hose on and use a 3in hose clamp, I have also put a little silicone sealer around the pump fitting and then slip the hose on and clamp it,good luck

That didn't work in my case. I went with a 2 way shut off valve (find them in the garden center of your local box hardware store)

Hi there, I checked my three way connectors, both of them ( I have in both bathrooms ) came with 3/8" not 7/8". Maybe try to check in Home depot or Lowe's. My husband told me it's came with that 3/8" adapter.

Suggest you go to Lowes and get a 1/2" PEX to 1/2" FIP fitting (you WILL need the PEX crimping tools to instal this properly), and a 1/2" MIP to 1/4" OD tubing quick connect fitting. Good luck.
