Here is a link to the faucet I use. It costs about $40 if you shop carefully. http://www.shurflo.com/pages/RV/rv_product_sum/rv_sum_docs/faucets/electric-faucet94-009-10.html The hole in the metal Westy sink top is much larger than the Shurflo faucet stem so an adapter plate is needed. The plate needs to cover the larger existing hole and provide the much smaller hole used by the Shurflo. I make my own out of a piece of plastic cutting board. The small faucet hole in the adapter should be offset from the center, towards the sink bowl, to allow the faucet head to pivot all the way down into the sink and close to the sink wall. I use the 3 existing screw holes to attach the plate to the sink. The city water door assembly comes right off from the outside, 4 screws and a hose. You can add the fan without pulling the fridge. If you keep the Westy faucet installed you will need to plug the fitting on it for the city water line or water will leak out there when you use the faucet with your tank water.
