For when you move just replace the grey line (now with the tee) with another continuous piece.

If you don't mind going without water for a bit just turn off the valve, take out the grey line (between the valve and the faucet), grab a piece of the water line for your ro unit, go to HD depot the show them what your planning. Since the grey line is probably bigger than the one for the ro, you'll need a tee and reducer.
Might be a really stupid question but what kind of fittings am I looking for? All I found at my HD is brass. Didn't seem like the right stuff.

They also did not have anything small enough to use as a valve for the RO line (1/4" OD)...the smallest they had was again brass and 3/8".

Ughh...this is getting frustrating.

Any reason I can't just use the vampire teeth? Are they meant for actual pipes? Im guessing not meant for tubing?
