Can you help me find the appropriate adapters?

[markfleener]

I'm trying to adapt a Tee for a bidet sprayer, but I can't find the two adapters that I need...

The building is 1/4 male threaded chrome.

The toilet hose is 1/4 threaded female.

The bidet hose is 1/2 threaded female.


Here's the bidet's Tee...
(7/8 male, 7/8 female, and 1/2 male)

Here are the parts I think I would need...

Threaded chrome male 7/8 to male 1/4

and

Threaded chrome female 7/8 to female 1/4

There's not much space to fit this adaption, so the parts would have to be like small couplers or something, but then, I could consider using a completely different Tee, the bottom inlet being 1/4 threaded female, the top being 1/4 threaded male, and the t being 12/ threaded female, but I can't find the parts I need to do it that way either. I need to find these parts online cause I can't get around town much at all.

Anyhow, here's another thing, if we ever get this done, what do you think of taking the bidet's hose off and using two of these adapters...

(1/2" NPT Male to 1/2" Barb Fitting)

...to then hook up like 100 feet of polytubing, making me a hose to spray far away?

That tee fitting looks correct female side to the toilet,male side connects to wha5 should be a a 7/8 female by 3/8 female compression I would double check what you think is 1/4

Never use a barbed fitting under pressure in your home

 

[markfleener]

That's good advice about the barbed fitting. Thanks. Yeah, I'm not sure if that's a 1/4" or 3/8". How can I be sure? Eitherway, I can't seem to find any of these other parts anywhere, even online.

ok...what you have fits under your toilet

this is how it is supposed to hook up

remove the supply line that feeds the toilet
thread the valve onto the thread that is under the toilet, where the water hooked up
install the supply tube you removed to the bottom of the valve.

Geofd, Would you please elaborate? I’ve never heard anything negative about barbed fittings.
I used sharkbite barbed fittings with clamp rings in my house, is that not okay? or are you refering to the type of barbed fitting that is push on and claims to get tighter as pressure is put on it, therefore not needing a clamp? Thanks.

I personally never used them but I work for a large university in Boston and the lab personnel used them for experiments
That would last days or longer and we had a few big floods so we had to go thru all labs and remove them
Yes lab techs were using hose clamp and just push on pressure I was not referring to per or shark bit although
We don’t use shark bite either if installed wrong they can fail we had a couple fail at work I have used pet with copper crimp rings mostly copper/ solder/propress

Thanks for that. You had me worried. I used the barbed with crimp as opposed to the push to connect sharkbites. I would not trust my soldering skills anymore than the push on sharkbites to hold up.
here is an interesting video where they tested the different types of pex fittings and brands of pex under extreme pressure. As it turned out the only fitting to fail was the sharkbite push to connect, after that it was the pex that blew up while all the fittings held tight.

I watched the video , I don’t use pen often but I had to in my house because all pet was just under the sheet rock
Ceiling clipped to the floor joists I would use it in some cases
