need to replace a kitchen sink and it's cheap multi-turn valves.
I will replace with 1/4T, but I want to use US made valves.
Best choice?
 
Thinking further, the new sinks supplys will also feed the DW and fridge, hot and cold respectively.
Better off with a Dual Outlet Dual Shut-Off 1/4-Turn or a single compression, "T" and another single for each?
As I remember, the supply lines at the wall are threaded, not sweated. So perhaps they would have to be cut off.

The GSA used to have a "Buy American" page where you could look up things made in America to comply with the Buy American Act for government contracts.

There are many common things for which there is not an American made option. Brass valve smaller than 3-inches are one of them. Only option was Champion Castings in California.

Brasscraft KT series valves offer various configurations to suit your install requirements.
