Reply to comment by Resolution_69 in How can I add a second 1/4 inch water line to under my kitchen sink? by Apprehensive-Egg374

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.
