| My question...i am running new hot and cold water lines from existing lines in my basement to a new sink.. the location of the existing lines will not permit me to sweat new T's to these lines...can i use SADDLE VALVES and if so do they make them that have a big enough compression outlet(1/2")that will carry the water to the sink hook-ups...or what size will work to permit enough water flow from existing lines...HELP!! |

| Even if saddle valves were permitted, and they aren't, the volume of water flow would be unsatisfactory, by far, for a sink. Saddle valves use only a pinhole perforation in the original line. If you could have installed saddle valves, you should be able to install sweated or compression fittings. |

| "the location of the existing lines will not permit me to sweat new T's to these lines" Never seen a line that cannot be cut and a T installed. It may not be as simple if the lines are not in the open, but you can always work on them. |

| Sober and sane people do not use saddle valves. |
