Default R/O sink connector

I've seen people hooking up their R/O to the sink, Ive checked Home Depot and couldn't find anything, mind you the guy in the pluming dept. was less than helpful. Where would I find a sink connector. Thanks

I bought a little chrome piece from JL's with a barb fitting... threaded onto my tap and leave it there.

HOME DEPOT should have some. I work part time there and I know for sure that they carry it. You should find it in the plumming section where the water filtration or the kitchen dep. Has couple nice taps you can use.

Default R/o connector

Hello fellow reefer,
I just bought an ro/do unit from bulk reef supply and it came with a bunch of connectors for free. I know that bulk reef supply sells different connectors that are hard to come by.
Here is the link:

No prob, I had the same experience at Home Depot and Rona. The staff don't know jack. Better off going online for specialty items instead of driving around town endlessly.

Sorry, l misunderstood you.... Thought you didn't want to plumb it and wanted it adapted to faucet. It replaces standard aerator.
