Is there a plumbing valve for use under the sink that has a 1/2" inlet
and both 1/2" amd 1/4" outlets for feeding both the cold water line to
the kitchen faucet and an ice maker or water filter? *I don't want to use
a saddle valve.


I've done some searching, but haven't turned up anything I imagine it
should look like.


TIA


I don't know if there is such a valve, but what about a 1/2" tee fitting
with a 1/4" reducer on one side of the tee?
1/2" in, 1/2" out on one side of the tee, and a 1/2" to 1/4" reducer on
the other side of the T.

When the builder installed piercing saddle valve failed I did as Bill
suggested above only I used 1/2 by 3/8 reduced to 1/4. No more problems for
14 years.


Cool. I didn't know they had such a reduction tee.

Doesn't even need to be one of those. A 1/2x1/2x1/2 only needs at
most 2 reducing bushings to accomplish the same thing. Amazing the
things you can do with pvc/cpvc fittings.
