Pressurized Salt water fixture

Hello all
I am attempting to tee off my wash down pump circuit to deliver salt water at pressure to clean dishes.
I am having a hard time finding an all stainless single fixture to do this with. Any suggestions? Ah oils I forgo the idea entirely and put a foot pump in? I’m not against that i just already have pressurized salt water

Re: Pressurized Salt water fixture

Maybe use ceramic based faucets?

or consider attaching a standard sprayer seen on home sinks (we have one on our fresh water foot pump - - great for rinsing)
For example: https://www.homedepot.com/p/MOEN-Uni...9108/205876328

Ceramic based faucets are generally made of chrome plated brass. Big no no

Re: Pressurized Salt water fixture

USN War Ships have multiple loops of fire main that are always charged with sea water to 125 PSI. Fully charged fire mains are a requirement for a vessel getting under way (EXCEPT IN A CAPTAIN DECLARED EMERGENCY) Also a secondary personnel shower system charged with sea water is available for biological warfare personnel decontamination and cleanup. Believe all those fittings and connections are made in copper-nickel materials. MONEL is the common description.

Any faucet from Home Depot will work. For $10 or $20 just replace every couple of years. Don't need to pay extra for one labeled "Marine".
