Have a rectangle tap head as shown in picture below, want to connect to a round hose for drinking water filter. Any suggestions on how to do it without replacing the whole tap? Is there an adapter that can convert rectangle to round tap? Thanks

Better do it inside the cabinet . You don’t want spoil the look of the tap.

If the connection done inside cabinet, meaning I have to drill a hole on the sink? Any sample picture? By the way, for me it's water dispenser (Coway), hence the drilling question This post has been edited by devonhunter: Jan 2 2018, 04:08 PM

you don't have to mount in on the granite... just next to it... https://www.amway.my/pdpcontent/MY/overview...liaryFaucet.pngThis post has been edited by kutitata: Jan 2 2018, 04:07 PM

Same, just drill down into the bottom cabinet to get access to piping below,
no need to drill into the granite, what countertop material are you using?

Sink is on the right end, dispenser on the left end. Sigh, I should have added another tap for dispenser earlier.

Auto fill function, and with current setup, i have to turn on the tap. Example: Notice the blue/orange hose, that's where the water coming in/out, and it is usually connected from kitchen sink tap, and that is the 'unclean' installation.

IMO it's the outlet that will be troublesome if you want to link it directly to the drain. easy way is just route it back to the sink though it will look ugly.

Yup, that's what I thought too. But the Coway installer told me that the outlet can be connected to the sink outlet pipe. Probably drill it and connect the Coway outlet, is that possible? *Anyway my table top is quartz and not granite.
