So I came across this on ebay and being that I am trying to keep this a fairly low cost project, it seems just what I am looking for:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=251107131878
Anyway, I just redid my bathroom and installed the toilet, sink, and faucet myself so I feel fairly comfortable putting a utility sink in the basement to make less trips up/down stairs when cleaning equipment, however I am not sure of my best way to get water to the faucet. I was planning on branching off my washing machine hookup (assuming they sell some kind of splitters or something) and draining on the same place as well. My main concern is that when I installed the bathroom faucet, the copper pipes and valves were already in place to easily connect the screw-on hoses. I really don't want to learn how to solder copper pipes or have to run new hard lines, so does it seem like there is any easy way I could branch of this washing machine hookup with some kind of couplers or something to run to the new faucet? If I put the sink right next to the washing machine it will end up being about a 5' length I would say. Any input is greatly appreciated. Here are a few pics of what I have to work with.
