Reply to comment by Apprehensive-Egg374 in How can I add a second 1/4 inch water line to under my kitchen sink? by Apprehensive-Egg374

You'd snip the white 1/4" line a couple inches in from the other tee and install the 1/4" tee there.

Edit: or a couple feet in. It really doesn't matter where you tee

Oh I see. I’m using a stainless steel hose for the fridge line. So I don’t think I would be able to attach that to this tee. I’d need a compression tee. Any ideas?

Is there a reason that I can’t connect another brass tee on top of the first tee?

You can put another brass tee on top of the other one

Hey, I have another question. I’m hearing the water line pipes may not be suitable for water. What do you think?

Here are some better pictures of the pIpes:

Do you have any advice based on these pictures? Like does the pipe need to be removed? Or is it fine as is? If it should be replaced, what do you think I should use to replace it with?

I'm not sure if you want to replumb your house, but old brass fittings had lead in them. Newer lead free ones have markings to identify them. Learn more about that here

Thank you so so much!!

Do you think it would be possible to setup a washing machine to get hot/cold water and drain to under the kitchen sink?

People do that with dishwashers all the time, yeah.

Clothes washer, idk. They have a pretty high discharge rate. I've never seen it under a sink like your dishwasher is.

Sure you can stack them. They have a washer on the one end.

Thx! I’m also gonna take the bottom Tee for the dishwasher and move it to the hot water side. Once I take the tee out, how do I put the pipe back into the bottom shutter valve? Do I just put Teflon tape on the pipe and then push it into the shutter valve?
