Installing a new Tee joint for dishwasher inlet

[sm1979]

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to add a cold water inlet under the kitchen sink. The easiest thing seems to add a tee joint. Here is the picture of the cold water pipe going into the sink http://imgur.com/WRxm0 . I seem to need http://www.wickes.co.uk/red-plastic-wallplugs/invt/420071/ but the part i am not sure about is how would it fit into the current joint correctly. Would i need an adopter of some sort?

Can't see your first link.
But the w/m T fits into the copper pipe.

I want to take off that connector white the white flexi pipe ( that is for cold water tap of the sink). Put in a tee joint of some sort, which would let me connect the dishwasher and this white flexi pipe to it.

That flexi won't fit straight onto the w/m valve.
Why don't you leave the flexi and cut the short horizontal pipe that the flexi's on and fit the w/m valve then refit the pipe with flexi on to the other end of w/m valve.

I have considered that, I am just not comfortable messing with the copper pipe :S

Be just as easy as mucking about with the flexi.
10 min job.

No they are cr*p they leak over time and if you don't get it right when fitting they leak.

Any idea what the white valve type thing in the middle white pipe is for?

It seems to have a stopper at the end.

Turn off the water.

Loosen the swivel nut at the tap end of the flexi first to allow for turning of the hose when screwing bits together.

Undo the compression nut of the flexi, take off the nut and olive from one end of the washing machine tee valve, put it into the nut of the flexi, take off the other nut and olive from the tee, get a 1/2" BSP socket, put the threaded end of the flexi into one end of the socket, put the other end of the socket onto the tee. Use PTFE tape on the olive and PTFE tape or Loctite 55 on the male threads of the tee valve and flexi.
