Sorry if this is an obvious question, but I have little experience in plumbing and don't want to use the wrong parts.
I'm trying to plumb a European espresso machine to my under-sink faucet water line, with a water filter in the middle. I believe the cold waterline has a standard 3/8" valve. I need to connect it to this under-sink water filter, whose spec sheet states "Inlet and outlet plumbing connections are 3/8” FNPT". The espresso machine has a 1/8" BSP inlet connection.
Here is my current cold water valve:
And here is my hot water valve, which seems to already have a 3-way fitting installed to feed something else (but I don't know what it's called):
I'm trying to figure out:
- What's the exact part name for the 3-way fitting that would work here?
- What kind of hose would work to go from the 3-way fitting to the water filter linked above?
- What kind of hose would work to go from the water filter to the espresso machine, which has 1/8" BSP thread?
Any other tips on installing this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
