Shower Fitting

Does anyone know where I can find a fitting to splice into the raw water intake hose to plumb in a shower? I've got the parts for the hot water, but can't find what I need for the cold.

Thanks,
Greg

What size hose? What kind of hose?
All I can suggest is Home Depot with that little info.

Tried Lowe's today, but no luck. I believe the intake hose is 1 1/4" and I need some type of fiting in the middle I can eventually hook up to a garden hose fitting.

Try Tractor Supply or maybe order From PBM supply in Chico Ca. They have all the t's hose barb fittings anyone could need.

I finally found what I was looking for at the sprinkler shop. Thanks.

I've done several showers and this is what I've used. I just cut out a 2" section of hose on the discharge side of the impeller pump. It is cold and always has enough pressure to prime the shower pump. Pretty sure its 1 1/4" hose. You should be able to get it at any plumbing supply place, likely in the irrigation section.

That's exactly what I ordered and I just ordered my pump a few minutes ago. I'll post up pics when it's complete. Guessing my total cost will be around $100-110 for everything.
