Connecting Manabloc to new kitchen faucet

Author: Milo7110 (TX)

Hi,
I wanted to replace an old kitchen faucet with a FlowFaucet (BioBidet). My house has a Manabloc system installed, so I do not have the typical outlets under the sink that would connect to the lines of the faucet. Instead, I have the Manabloc supply lines with what I would call 1/2-in female connections at the end. How can I connect the Manabloc lines to the faucet line? I have tried a few connectors from home depot, but none of those seem to work. I also contacted the faucet manufacturer and they said they have no technicians familiar with the Manabloc system.
Thank you for your help!

Author: hj (AZ) I am not familiar with that faucet, but the most common connector would be a 1/2" ips x 3/8" compression male adapter.

Author: packy (MA) even though you have a shutoff at the manifold, one of these will do what you want. just cut the pex and slide this on.

Author: Milo7110 (TX) Thank you the quick response! Would you also have a part number for that connection? Trying to see if HomeDepot has it in stock, but not sure what I'm searching for. Also, do I need any special tool to connect the part to the supply line? Again, Thank you!
