rplace Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I have a stainless steel braided hose that looks like this: The description of the hose says this: Quote a metal 1/8 3/8 BSPP hose I need to connect the bigger end, I assume that is the 3/8 BSPP part of the description above to my Revers Osmosis line which I believe is 1/4 standard RO tubing. If I buy a Tee for the 1/4 RO line can I use this fitting to connect one end of the RO line to the above stainless 3/8 fitting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stainless hose small end goes to my new Espresso Machine so I don't have to keep filling the water reservoir. The bigger end 3/8 goes to water supply.

Ok The 1/8 is what is on the actual Espresso Machine....smaller end of steel braided hose they provided. I'd guess I can skip that all together, the steel hose that is. what I really need if you are building my a material list is..... Current set up is RO filter has a Tee that goes to RO faucet and my Fridg's ice maker. It is at the fridge I want to install a 1/4 RO Tee and have that tee go to: Shut off valve>>Pressure Regulator>>Espresso Machine I've seen this used on other machines. Watts Lead-Free Brass 560 Water Pressure Regulator w/Gauge https://www.google.com/search?q=Watts+560G&sxsrf=ACYBGNQ7eAPHpDc16T-IFxlm6MNTYrQCww:1580938695067&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwib5dLKr7vnAhVtlXIEHfunAD4Q_AUoAnoECAwQBA&biw=1473&bih=983#imgrc=RkQSj3FCQIFkCM Pretty sure that in/out is 1/4 American (NPT) Threads as will Shut Off Valve I'm guessing.

CECAA850 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 The RO T's and fittings are best purchased from the company you got your machine from. They even have hoses. i got mine from APEC. https://www.freedrinkingwater.com/ Once you get to NPT you can find all the adapters you need at your local hardware store.

If RO isn't it all the same? That ebay link seems to have lots of connections and any extra tubing I'd need. If Expresso, why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
