I'm just about to attach this to the wall and seal it in place. Problem is I don't have a pre-rinse which is required to clean out kettles. Those faucets are heavier and much more expensive utilizing a 3/8" NPT fitting in the center of the faucet instead of a light duty swivel type connection for a faucet made in some odd, probably proprietary plumbing size. Having it machined out of a chunk of metal is too costly. I paid too much for this faucet, I think $60, not lead free and really a piece of junk in feel. A quality pre-rinse usit is quite expensive and have gone way over budget. It's about $200 minimum to get myself a pre-rinse base with simple faucet attached. Right now I'm trying to find a pre-rinse base and buy or make the pre-rinse as I can afford it, as well as be sure it fits in the workspace. There is a cabinet 18" above the stainless section of backsplash.
Anyone engineered a way to put a pre-rinse "tee" or other fitting onto the faucet swivel attachment? It doesn't need to be industrial duty, I'll be the only one using it. I've spent nearly a month searching but maybe I don't know the correct search terms and just need a fresh idea. Person that sold me the sink and faucet said it can't be done.
My cold water line is split, kettle filling water will be filtered and be dispensed through a stainless valve. No permanent solution at this point other than the valve terminated on PEX line tied to the end of the drainboard.
I want either GHT or quick connect on both the wash faucet and filtered water faucet.
I can cut and weld stainless - simple stuff. For something more elaborate I have been calling in too many favors lately with machine shop friends to have something so odd created.
