Install 3 way water filter tap

[j007]

Hi I just purchased a 3 way tap that came with 1/2" flexi hoses for each of the 3 holes. 1 hose is for the hot water and 1 is for the cold water. The 3rd one is for the filtered water. I am using an undersink water filter system that connects to a tap via a 1/4" plastic tubing.

How on earth do I connect this 1/4" tubing to the 3rd 1/2" flexi hose so that the water from the filter gets connected to the tap?

Something like this perhaps? https://www.uk-water-filters.co.uk/connection-adapter-for-15mm-to-1-4-inch-pipe-tube.html. Nothing in the instructions?

I need something to connect to the 1/2" flexi hose on one side and then connect to the 1/4" tubing in the other side. The instructions for the water filter system were based around a separate tap which I do not want to use as I already have a 3 way tap.

Have a look on here, https://www.uk-water-filters.co.uk/accessories/water-pipe-connectors.html, you might need the 1/2” x 1/4” male and female? https://www.uk-water-filters.co.uk/connection-adapter-half-inch-quarter-inch.html

Post a pic of the free end of the flexie

I need to basically connect this plastic tubing to this flexi hose (to the larger end)

Could be wrong, but does my first answer not cover this?

It looks like it is a push fit adapter for the copper pipe. In my case, where would I screw my 1/2" Flexi nut to?

Short piece of copper out of pushfit and tighten onto 1/2” flexi nut?

Could do, was hoping there was just simply an adapter to solve it. The second link you showed may just be it although it's a pack of 3 and I only need 1

Could try removing nut and olive off flexi end and try something like this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0087OSYLS/ref=psdc_1939465031_t2_B00NW55Q0O

If the end of the flexie has a compression fitting then one of these may be better, sharp end CF could cut through the sealing washer
