fwiw: I replaced this connection with a 1/2" compression coupling, and a length of braided flex-tubing(the sort that is often used for connecting toilets and lav sinks) that was made 3/8"FIP on one end and 1/2" compression thread on the other. simple, cheap...makes the 90 degree turn easily. got it at HD....
I agree, though, that the precious under-cabinet spaces are poorly laid out in this vintage. I'd like to replace my water tank inlet, too. The "factory" setup has this huge line descending at a 45-degree angle straight through middle of the only small galley cabinet I have. with the H2O pump taking up the other side...and the furnace using up the other half of the galley, that means that there is essentially no useable storage under the kitchen sink. none. how can that be???
in your pic...all those electrical connections in such close proximity to water drains and supplies....kind of makes me go "yikes!"
