How do I remove existing fittings to install 2-way undersink tap?
Would you be able to advise the best way to start removing the existing fittings under my kitchen sink as I want to install a 2 way undersink tap something similar to this tap Brasshards 15 x 20mm Chrome Loose Nut 2 Way Under Sink Tap
The current intall is very messy and I can only turn off the water to my dishwasher and I would like to be able to turn off the water to both the sink and the dishwasher at the same time.
Thank you

Hi @JoJo133 and thanks for kicking off another discussion.
As per your previous question, we would first suggest that it might be necessary to engage a registered plumber to complete this work. Your local building authority would be able to provide more information.
Our resident Bunnings D.I.Y. expert @EricL will be back on the site tomorrow. In the meantime, let me tag experienced plumbers such as @JDE and @Santullo for their thoughts.

Hello @JoJo133
Thanks for sharing your question about modifying the outlet of your under-sink tap. I'm going to have to recommend the same and engage the services of a registered plumber as well. The connections under your sink at the moment are complex and are applying a great deal of weight on the copper pipe coming out of your wall already. Excessive weight could cause the pipe to bend or the joints to crack forming a slow leak that you might not be even aware of.
I suggest asking the plumber to remove most of the fittings and re-arrange them so that there will be less fittings involved. The plus side of this is that it will be done to code, and it will carry with it a warranty.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
