Trying to connect a utility sink faucet to a supply line which is already feeding the washer. The supply has a valve that is soldered in place, so I don't want to mess with that, and it connects to a standard washer hose, which has 2 female ends, each sized at 3/4 fht.
The utility faucet has male 1/2 fip connections. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to tee off from the washer hose to something that connects to the faucet.
Lowe's/ Home Depot etc. has nothing that works. Can't even find anything online that seems to make sense.
Any ideas?
Thank very much!!

Do you have room to screw a wye onto the valve? If yes, use a FGHT x 1/2 mnpt adapter for the faucet.

Thanks, Steve. Unfortunately, I don't think there's quite enough room to twist it on.
But the adapter you show, the on on the right - that's exactly what I need, only in reverse.
