RODI System Adapter doesn’t fit my faucet. Faucet is small and has a thread diameter of 3/4”. Can’t find anything that adapts this.

RedfishReefer · Jan 25, 2022

Hello,

I am having the hardest time finding an adapter for my RODI unit that will make it fit my faucets. I live in an apartment and the faucet sizes are not standard. They are slightly smaller than standard and I think are 3/4 diameter for the threading. I can’t find much info on this besides one calling a junior aerator a 3/4 inch aerator and this might be the adapter for that size aerator. If anyone has this size faucet let me know what you use to connect it to either a hose thread or a normal size faucet adapter.

Thanks!

These pictures are the adapter that goes into the faucet. It is even smaller than 3/4 inch so I’m not sure at all what it is.

this is the provided adapter for a standard faucet that the RODI system provided. It is 15/16th the standard faucet size.

I need to find an adapter that takes it from the thread size at the top and turn it into a female for the bottom one or a standard hose adapter.

Either a (good) hardware store or Amazon will have it. Look up faucet adapters.

Yeah tried hardware stores and idk if that has the size. By the measurement I did the size is like 11/16 which I haven’t heard of anywhere.

Is it a bathroom faucet, if so your going to have a heck of a time with it. Some of those faucets are metric!

Yeah the bathroom and the sink and shower are all that same size.

It exist then, you just have to find the right combo. You have a Ace or True Value hardware, they are better at it than the Lowes & Home Depot folks.

If your faucet is giving you issues, which I also ran into. You could try plumbing the water to the hookup under the sink.... hopefully those adapters are more standard.

+1 for hooking it up to the sink supply line. I ran into issues with leaking from the sink adapter decided to go the supply line hook up route and I am glad that I did. Plus, You don’t need to worry about disconnecting to continue to use the sink.
I got this one from BRS, I’m not sure what other options are out there.

Mur-Lok EZ Faucet Adapter Kit

Why does BRS recommend this? The Mur-Lok EZ Faucet Adapter kit allows you to install a shut off feed valve while being able to swivel the output any direction needed if space is tight. This Mur-lok Faucet Adapter Kit is one of the most convenient ways to connect an RO unit to the household...

That was my end game. I have a separate line for the ice maker, I teed off of that and put in a 90 degree shut off valve.

So you connect the hose directly to that adapter as well then?

I struggled with hooking my ro system up directly to the facet, I went down under the sink with the mur lok adapter. My life is so much easier once I figured out I could just plumb it in under the sink.Good luck

Hopefully a picture of how it’s set up helps! The white line is what goes to the RODI unit and stays in place. My adapter is installed behind the utility sink and I just turn the valve on that sends the water to the RODI when I want to run it.

I'm looking to add a Y-valve onto my washing machine cold-outlet, bypassing the kitchen and bathroom sink all together and pushing the waste down the washing machine drain in the wall.

Most workers at Home Depot or Menards are worthless when asking for help beyond pointing in the right direction for an item. As someone else already suggested, take it to your local hardware shop, like ACE, and they should be able to figure it out for you. Bring all relevant parts to match up.
