Hello everyone!

I'm working on a vintage reclaimed kitchen faucet and hit a road block. My beautiful faucet did not come with the supply lines, only 3/8" female ends. I've been desperately searching for soft/flexible copper lines that are ALREADY threaded with male ends. There is not enough room for any sort of adapter between the hot and cold. I did find rigid brass lines that were already threaded but, again, can't get any adapter on the other end to attach to the half inch hoses if they're not flexible. Any thoughts? Thanks kindly. Beth

beth, we are losing something in what you are trying to convey.. please post a picture.

Here are the pictures showing the female ends in the faucet. They are sized 3/8th inch. I need a line that will thread directly into it because the holes are spaced too closely for the extra width an adapter will add.

Thank you for telling me I was unclear!! Cheers!

I feel sure that the holes are not 3/8". Seems different manufactures used different thread sizes, most are metric. If you could find out the manufacture of the faucet you could contact them if they are still in business. Some plumbing supply stores have a box of those type supply lines left over from display faucets, you might try looking there.

some old faucets (called basin cocks) did have smaller shanks. the were not 1/2 inch nor were they 3/8. they had a correct size nut that would hold a tapered tailpiece to the bottom. you need 2 of those smaller nuts and 2 tapered 1/4 inch tailpieces.
a plumbing supply house MAY be able to help you. I haven't seen any of those in years..

When I go to that E-Bay site, it just shows a single basin cock and NOTHING about two holes close together.

You have to click on - see original listing- to see all of the pictures. I believe it's a modern faucet that uses the propriety hoses with o rings.

I also don't think it's an "antique". It's made in Italy and has UPC approval stamp.

here you have it...
one end threads into the faucet and the other end attaches to a chrome shut off below...
the problem comes with identifying which size connector goes into the faucet base..
