Good morning Kelly, Home from my 48 at that FD. I looked up the post I referenced, and here's the comment that is relevant to you (though I think we decided it's a British thread and not metric):
"--The stainless water supply line that comes with the pump seems to be a proprietary metric thread. No one at Ace Hardware could match it. However, WLL sends a brass adapter that goes from that to 3/8" flare. To get from 3/8" flare to 1/4" tube took four fittings, but we got it done (WLL adapter to 3/8" flare male, 3/8 flare female to 3/8 compression female, then 3/8 compression male to 1/4 female pipe, then 1/4 male pipe to 1/4 tube--at least I think that's what it was...) The stainless water supply line would require about a 1" hole in the countertop, so I just coiled it up inside the machine with the fittings, and then ran 1/4 poly tubing out of the machine, through a small hole in the countertop, and then teed it into my filtered water line under the sink." I'm sure there's probably an easier way, that's just what we had available (I live on an island, not a huge selection). Obviously if you could find 3/8" flare female to 1/4" tube female (or whatever your supply is), that would be a two-fitting solution. Hope that helps, and let us know what solution you find! tx, Ben McCafferty On Mar 26, 2011, at 12:49 PM, Ben McCafferty wrote: > Hi Kelly-- > Look at my upgrade post from a week or two ago.
