RO/DI install question

[ethuman]

Anyone ever tap into a cold water copper line using something like the fittings used for refrigerator water supply lines? Considered adding another slop sink in the basement but wondered if this would work instead??? Thanks

That is called a saddle valve and it is can be used if the pressure is ok. At least 40 psi.
You can also cut the tubing and put a T inline for a more secure connection. Its not hard to do.

If you have taps, just use one of these.

I planned on cutting the pipe and putting in a T just wasn't sure if the saddle would work as well. thanks for the reply
