Looking for a plumbing piece for my RO unit
Does anyone know a place in town that has a garden hose (3/4") fitting to 1/4 pressure fitting for 1/4" line, so I can hook my RO unit up to a garden hose. The Home Depots in California have a lot of parts for drip systems in the garden, and the one here in town seems to be lacking those parts. I just want to get my RO unit going and producting water. Any help would be great, what do you guys use?

I use the wash sink.
Menards is 100% better in parts.

I was looking for one myself last week. I wasn't able to find one. I tapped right into a copper pipe.

Yeah that is what I was hoping not to have to do, but if it comes down to it I will have to. I found something at Home Depot, but the theads are wrong. I saw something on Ebay that is perfect but I will go Menards and see what I can find first.

Good call on Menards. I just ran over there and they had the fitting I needed for under $2.00. I also looked around at the other stuff since I am going to pick up my tank next weekend and they have all they warts I would need, a lot of stuff that I thought I was going to have to order, such as hose barbs and such.
