Is there a plumbing valve for use under the sink that has a 1/2" inlet and both 1/2" amd 1/4" outlets for feeding both the cold water line to the kitchen faucet and an ice maker or water filter? I don't want to use a saddle valve.
I've done some searching, but haven't turned up anything I imagine it should look like.
TIA
Never seen one; use a reducing tee and two valves.

1/2" in, 1/2" out on one side of the tee, and a 1/2" to 1/4" reducer on the other side of the T.
When the builder installed piercing saddle valve failed I did as Bill suggested above only I used 1/2 by 3/8 reduced to 1/4. No more problems for

Cool. I didn't know they had such a reduction tee. Disclaimer: I am not a plumber.
I have one in my hand, they certainly exist.
Hmmm, kitchen sink lines are usually 3/8 not 1/2. You can readily get stop valves with two 3/8 outlets and then use a 3/8 to 1/4 reducer on one for the ice maker or filter.

Thanks, Steve. I may have been wrong on the dimensions, but these types of valves are exactly what I'm looking for.

Following up to my own post, thanks guys for all your suggestions!
Doesn't even need to be one of those. A 1/2x1/2x1/2 only needs at most 2 reducing bushings to accomplish the same thing. Amazing the things you can do with pvc/cpvc fittings.

And I did not know that one existed. Is it a ball valve? I don't mess with that other type any more.

Yes, the Brasscraft is a 1/4-turn ball valve
