If you have the clearance at the cold water shut off, you're best bet may be to go with the 'vampire' saddle clamp fitting. You'll still want a shut off valve for the RO/DI though. No getting around that.

I would like to try to do this without the vampire thing I think...

When I was in HD I did find all the stuff I would need to get the intake side of the RO unit working (Would look kind of frankensteined together with all the reducers and such) but I couldn't find a way to work out the drain side.

I guess I could use all kinds of reducers and make it work but it just seems like such a mess to do it that way.

They do have a VERY limited amount of John Guest fittings but nothing small enough.

I think unless I go to another HD I will have to use brass. I am fine with that but just wanted to make sure it was safe to use.

And yes of course, the fittings on the unit are brass
