RO unit to faucet

Author: machmachmach (NY)

I'm looking to install a faucet-mount RO unit to my faucet which has a non-standard size fitting (http://www.amazon.com/Decor-Star-TPC11-TO-Contemporary-Kitchen/dp/B00RBYV0JS). I haven't had success finding the right adapter. I would also be open to installing the RO unit under the sink. I believe the faucet side is 1/2" and the RO unit has a variety of adapters which attach to standard-size faucets.

Here are some photos: [imgur.com]

Does anyone have any recommendations for the proper part to fit the two together?

Thanks!

Author: bernabeu (SC) no....................... the drain line from the RO unit must be air gapped to the drain albeit some dispenser faucets have the 'built in' connections for this ============================================== "Measure Twice & Cut Once" - Retired U.A. Local 1 & 638

Author: ravi102769 (VA) I don't understand the air gap issue? With the filler that Packy showed there would be an air gap between the spigot and the sink.
