I am hoping someone on here knows where I can find a 3/8” female (FIP) to 1/4” push-in tube fitting so that I can hook my Steam Slayer up to my sink. I have attached pictures of the 3/4” fitting provided with the Steam Slayer. I have a “fancy” kitchen sink with a pull down sprayer head, so the only fitting I have to attach to is a 3/8” male on the hose. I’m hoping there’s a 3/8” version of the Steam Slayer connector out there somewhere.
I tried a 3/8” female to 3/4” male adapter, but it didn’t fit securely on the hose and water flowed backwards out of the fitting. I also tried to create my own adapter by connecting a 3/8” female to barb connector to a short piece of clear hose and then a barb to 3/4” male fitting on the other end, but there was too much pressure in the hose and the hose ripped open when I attempted to use it on my last brew day.
Finally I tried the inline fitting that Brew Hardware provides for the water shutoff valve, but my shutoff valve is positioned against the inside wall of my cabinet with the water line to the sink running through the cabinet wall into the next cabinet over. I struggled to squeeze this fitting in between the valve and the wall but had no luck.
The only other thing I know to do is try to find a 3/8” female to 1/4” push-in tube connector, and so far I am coming up with nothing. Anyone know where I might find one or have any other ingenious ideas for making this work for me so I can start using the Steam Slayer? Thanks in advance!
