Expert Reply:

First, the fittings in our freshwater connectors and fittings page, which I have linked for you, are going to be safe for potable water. There are a lot of options, nothing labeled as a "Y" per se but I am sure that one of them, such as an elbow fitting like # RF844, or Tee fitting such as # RF843, could work for the line to the faucet.

For 1/2 inch inner diameter water line we have # W01-1600PB (10 feet), # W01-1600 (100 feet), and # W01-1605BU (500 feet). These selections are all non-toxic.
