        Double supply valve?
       
                  
        I am installing a bar in my basement.  I ran one 1/2" CPVC line to the bar.  I am installing a point of use hot water heater under the base cabinet to provide hot water.  Since I only have one water line to service both hot and cold water, I need a double supply stop valve.  I have searched everywhere I know including the web and have not found one anywhere.
 I know they exist as I saw one on DIY Network but a search on their website yielded nothing!  Please help!
 
 Thanks

        Oops! I just noticed it has different size fittings.  The one I've seen actually had a 1/2" CPVC input and two 3/8"stop valves.

        BrassCraft is the manufacture. You can find double angle stops on their web site.  You should have no problem with the one shown. The 1/4" supply will connect to the cold water side of the faucet and the 3/8ths side will supplu the Insta-hot heater.  Regards, Tom

 Thanks for the info but those folks don't offer a 1/2" CPVC inlet.  Any other suggestions?

        In this case, split your incoming cold water line:  install CPVC "T" at the end. Than, you will have two dedicated cold water stub-outs outlets. Install two  1/2" valves. One will be serving bar sink, the other one your water heater. Connect your valves with w/h and bar sink faucet  with 1/2" s.s. braided flexible water supply lines.

        Thanks Milo,  I thought of that but I was trying to keep it clean looking.  Turns out my local Lowe's had a 1/2" cpvc inlet and two 3/8 outlets but just one valve.  I think I'll use this.
 Thanks guys

 In my area we don't use comprssion stops on PVC or CPVC.  WE terminate the line with a 1/2"slip to male IPS thread adapter.  We then connect a angle stop with a  1/2" Female IPS thread to the adapter. A more solid connection then a compression one.  Regards,  Tom

        I'm not using a compression on CPVC.  It has a CPVC slip inlet on the valve so I will glue it directly to the supply line.  The two outlets are the standard 3/8" compression but it's a chrome plated valve.
 Thanks
