NPSM is a straight thread male connection as opposed to tapered thread (NPT). It does come in 14 TPI. From what I read NPSM should not be used for fluids or needs a sealant when used with fluids.

I'd second the idea of a tee in the pipe under the sink. It's a pretty easy change to make. And if you have a friend with some rudimentary plumbing skills (and a few tools), I'll bet you could arrange a trade for some homebrew...

Said homebrew to be consumed AFTER installing the tee.
A hose-bib under the sink is an elegant way to solve this dilemma.

IIRC, those are bolt thread pitches, not plumbing.

You are correct. Hence my second post. Sorry for the confusion.
