Galley Delta one touch faucet working! - 2011

The Delta one touch faucet plumbing went well. I stopped at Home Depot and picked up a couple faucet kits for screwing the 3/8 pipe thread fitting to the ½ inch plumbing boat fitting.

We started out using one check valve and then plumbed to the boat plumbing.
The other line without the check valve. We called Delta and see if it is needed.Their support did not really have a good answer. It could be you would get warm when you want cold?
At any rate we will see how it goes and if the fittings are leaking then what the heck we will install the check valve assembly if not and not problems then forget them.

We did not see any difference so we went without any check valves.
 This seemed to work well so far as we do not see any leaks.
The hook up under the sink worked well.  The hook up in in the lower cabinet under the sink.  It works well there as it out of the way of the exhaust hose loop and fairly easy to get at. We needed to cut the boat plumbing shorter to get to that point. We did not install the check valves that come with the Delta one touch faucet.

We wanted the fitting to be accessible in case we needed to fix a leak etc.
This shows the 3/8 to 1/2 inch adapters (chrome) and the half inch male connectors (boat plumbing hardware).
