We bought a house with a Culligan Reverse Osmosis under sink system connected to a copper supply line. Due to a corroded and leaking faucet we replaced the faucet and changed the supply line to braided steel. Before, the water system was connected to the copper with what I believe is called a saddle-valve (basically punctured the copper line to supply water to system). How do I / What do I use to now connect the water system to the braided steel line? From what I am reading, you would not use a saddle valve on a braided steel line???

Should get a "T" valve to put in place and run the line through one side to the system and the other to the sink faucet. Without actually seeing your installation & therefore mostly just guessing (jpegs would be nice), potentially you need another steel braided line and maybe some adapters to make the installation complete and functional..

Or you'll need to reduce down the fittings from the valve I'm speaking of to the hose sizing to accommodate the water system..
