Friends,
What a great forum. I have been visiting here for years and gotten great answers by searching, most recently with a hair pulling situation with what turned out to be a gerber toilet needing an extra large donut between the tank and toilet. thanks to this great forum I was able to find out I needed an atypical donut before cracking my toilet by "tightening more" as my hardware store recommended.
1) But this question I don't see a posted answer for: I need some kind of four way valve or better yet best practices for getting three outputs from my sink cold water supply: a) sink faucet plus b) Reverse Osmosis c) refrigerator ice maker.
I have all my cabinets and sink out, wallboard off and am fixing several imperfect jobs (of my own and prior owners).
Ideally for the cold I would like at least one main shutoff in case the faucet needs replacement, and then independent shut off for service of the R/O and ice maker.
I have to get out the propane and copper and extend the cold water supply coming out of the wall as the old cabinet had no back and the valve was jammed agaisnt the wallboard. so I will bring it out about 2" anyway. May as well do what is best practices, nicest looking and most useful with the supply.
Any ideas to do this nicely, so it works well and a future home inspector will see this as well done?
would I use one of these to tap to a) faucet and b) R/o and ice-maker, splitting the RO and ice-maker with some kind of Y after with inline cut offs?
Is there some kind of "4 way" or would that look idiotic or not be available except for special order? ( I want to get this done in 72 hours)
2) Any recommendation for good carbon/sediment filter dedicated to the ice-maker. I understand it should not drop pressure too much and is mainly to protect ice maker (I have very hard water with lots of sediment)
Thanks in advance.
