I've searched and searched, and I may be the only one crazy enough to do this or no one else has posted theirs. Anyhow I'm trying to plumb my RODI unit in my garage off of the hot water heater cold water line. But getting the pipe from 3/4" down to 3/8" for the John Guest fitting I'm using is proving to be a challenge. Right now the plan is to add a CPVC T off of the cold water line and run it away from the hot water heater a few feet to a threaded 3/4" coupling. From there I would use a 3/4" to 3/8" reducer, to be able to use the 3/8" x 3/8" John Guest stop angle valve, run the 1/4" tubing off the valve to the RODI unit and then another coupling and a cap on the female side of the valve.
This all seems a little convoluted and I'm wondering if there is a way to simplify it. I'm hesitant to use a regular ball valve instead of the JG valve because they tend to stick after time. Including a picture of the hot water heater for reference.
