Today will be a small instruction for owners of reverse osmosis water purification systems. Perhaps in the future you will want to use the clean water faucet to connect additional devices, as I did. Several years ago I purchased a premium Japanese water ionizer HumanWater HU-88 and modified it for use together with the clean water faucet of the reverse osmosis system. To implement this scheme I bought this kind of three-way ball valve (ASIN: B00SAE6TNA) on Amazon, and connected the left inlet to the reverse osmosis clean water tube, and the right inlet to the output tube of the HU-88 ionized water. I connected the bottom outlet to the reverse osmosis clean water faucet. To prevent water from being supplied to the ionizer in standby mode, I installed a shut-off valve at the ionizer's inlet. If I want to drink ionized water, I will need to perform the following manipulations with the ionizer turned on: turn the three-way ball valve to the right under the sink, open the clean water faucet and supply water to the ionizer by opening the shut-off valve. It's a bit inconvenient, but the impressively sized ionizer is located under my sink and is not visible.

I decided to mount the three-way ball valve on the right side of the inner wall of the cabinet under the sink, and for this I designed a bracket, which I later printed on a 3D printer. The bracket has two holes for screws, as well as two cylindrical protrusions that need to be inserted into drilled holes on the side wall.
I hope this part will be useful to you for mounting the above model of a three-way ball valve used in home reverse osmosis water purification systems.
