The need to take advantage of the flow tap water outside the sink or sink occurs often. The bucket or pan does not fit into the container and is difficult to manipulate. That's when you need a hose-to-faucet adapter. All that remains is to find out which device for draining water masses is suitable for you and how to use it correctly.
Use Cases
The question of redirecting the water flow becomes relevant when intending to water country cottage area, make cleaning easier large area, carry out repairs in the house, ventilate and drain boiling water from heating system. Adapter fittings – best option solving the problem. They can be simple, like hose attachments for a faucet or valve, but complicated designs are also not uncommon in this group.
Accessory set for multifunctional plug connection with fittings and watering can
Irrigation devices
The classification of hose products is based on differences in diameter and material. Internal section Gardeners consider 13 mm to be the most convenient for connecting to a water supply for the purpose of watering beds. Closer to it in popularity in the gardening “line” are diameters of 18 and 25 mm.
Simple plastic splitter watering hose– a democratic solution for summer residents
Material used in the manufacture of a hose for a kitchen faucet country house can serve:
- technical rubber;
- plastic;
- polyvinyl chloride;
- nylon.
Owners of apartments and dachas recognized rubber as more reliable and durable than others: it calmly “endures” temperature fluctuations, is not afraid of kinks and is quite durable. Plastic breaks and becomes covered with plaque; nylon becomes deformed during frequent transitions from a cold to a hot environment. The option with a reinforced PVC watering sleeve, comfortable and wear-resistant, is very good, but a bit expensive for many.
The list of elements of the irrigation system will necessarily include:
- fitting (threaded or without thread) with connector;
- repair coupling with one or a pair of adapters.
If there are several directions of irrigation, a combination of a hose splitter with a tap will be useful (this flow-distributing part is also called an adapter). The adapter block block will allow you not only to wash your hands, but also to expand the water supply circuit through water filters. It will also provide the ability to quickly and easily connect washing machine to a ready-made household communications unit.
The branching block allows you to connect 4 hoses to the system at once
Standard adapter with 3/4 watering tap – optimal connection option
Gas and water fittings
The arrangement of the kitchen and bathroom area today is rarely complete without flexible polymer snake hoses braided with metal. Docking is carried out using a sealed threaded connection hose with tap and other plumbing accessories. The markings of the hoses and tubes are different: the blue stripe is for a cold stream, the red stripe is for a heated stream. You should buy them with a length reserve.
Purchase and installation gas equipment– a task of increased responsibility, since breakdowns and leaks in such an important communication chain are not just unpleasant, but dangerous. Instead of a short-lived rubber sleeve, it is better to immediately purchase a heat-resistant polymer sleeve in a steel braid: it is stronger and complies with GOST. Mark a gas-carrying set of hoses and taps with watering cans for gas yellow.

How to connect a hose to a faucet
Before using the design
- Take the adapter nozzle in your hands - a small multi-layer ring that is screwed onto the faucet for subsequent connection with the narrower threaded tip of the garden hose.
- Covering the sink hole with a towel (so as not to drop or drown small parts), unscrew the tap head and check the tightness of its joint with the rim of the plumbing fixture.
- If there is no vacuum control valve in the system, first screw the adapter valve (they are available in stores) onto the thread of the flexible watering tube. It will become a water purifier strainer.
- Before connecting the hose to the tap, make sure that the rubber/vinyl gasket-cuff for the hose end has not fallen out, is lying tightly and the connection is not in danger of leaking.
- Screw the hose with the valve to the nozzle of the water tap, making sure to check the tightness and waterproofness of the resulting contact when tightening.
After using the design
- Unscrew the hose-nozzle pair and return the tap tip to its place. If there is a leak that has not been seen before, wrap Teflon tape around the threaded portion of the spout.
- On the gasket strip that covers the thread (extra pieces of it should not stick out in the opening), place the head again, ensuring the lost tightness.
A kit consisting of an adapter with a 3/4 tap for a hose with a nipple and a connector that independently cuts off the media significantly simplifies the processing and watering of farmland. This is an affordable product that is relatively easy to find in our stores. As well as a steel drain valve with a hose nozzle for draining. Try to make your life easier with the help of such devices - they will always pay off.
Ball valve often sold with a ready-made adapter
I decided to make some distilled water here and, accordingly, I needed to connect the Liebig refrigerator (distiller) to the water supply. I began to think about how to connect the hose to the tap.
Standard solutions in the form of ready-made adapters for a faucet for a hose cost some absolutely unimaginable money (), so I began to think about how to get by with little expense.
In general, the solution turned out to be primitive: the easiest way to connect the hose to the tap is to use an aerator:
The fact is that the thread on the mixer watering can is very specific (diameter 22 mm, pitch 1 mm) and no ready-made plumbing gadgets are suitable for it. Except for the aerator, of course.
We unscrew it and shake out all the insides. We only need the metal shell itself: 
By the way, plastic aerators are completely unsuitable due to their fragility and fragility. It needs to be made of metal.
We go to the nearest market, where they sell all kinds of plumbing equipment and buy a fitting there required diameter(for the hose we have) with a 1/2 inch internal thread. I bought for 9 mm: 
We clamp the fitting into the drill, check that there is no beating when rotating: 
We take a grinder with a cutting wheel and separate the excess: 
It should look something like this: 
Then we change cutting wheel on a grinder on a petal: 
and carefully sand it down to get a smooth surface: 
Then, using the same petal circle, we turn the hexagon into a circle and reduce its diameter until our modernized fitting begins to fit inside the aerator body. This must be done very slowly and carefully, the main thing is not to miss the moment. Periodically we stop and check whether it is included or not: 
As soon as the fitting begins to pass freely through the thread and rests against the internal narrowing of the aerator body, then our faucet attachment for the hose is considered ready. All that remains is to find a 1/2" silicone gasket (they are everywhere like dirt).
So, here is the answer to the question of how to connect a hose to a mixer: 
Everything is assembled in this order: 
I checked it at work: nothing is leaking anywhere, everything is reliable and aesthetically pleasing. 
In total, our nozzle is water tap for the hose it cost 45 rubles (brass fitting), 5 rubles for the gasket and about 40 minutes of time, including cleaning the room. 
And as a bonus, we will also have a half-inch brass nut left: 
I hope my experience was useful to you and you learned another way to connect a hose to a faucet in the kitchen.
By the way, the aerator will not suffer at all after such use. It can be reassembled and screwed into place. It was as if nothing had happened!
Well, if you don’t have the opportunity to grind a fitting, for example, no suitable tool, then the faucet adapter for the hose can be made even simpler. How? Watch the video!
That's all. Thank you for your attention!
The faucet attachment is designed to connect distillation column and a moonshine still to the mixer for the purpose of feeding into the cooler cold water. There is a fitting on the side for connecting the hose. The nozzle does not need to be constantly removed and put on the tap - it has a switch for supplying water to the 10 mm tube and regular water supply.
The fitting is designed for connecting 10 mm hoses. The tap adapter is equipped with a gasket that ensures reliable connection and eliminates the possibility of leakage.
The adapter fits external and internal thread spout (gander). The adapter has a bushing. This is an adapter for a faucet adapter with internal threads.
Adapters are made from high-quality and wear-resistant materials: of stainless steel and polypropylene. Products made from them have an almost unlimited lifespan. Stainless steel is not subject to corrosion, so it is not afraid of contact with water.
The nozzle is widely used not only in moonshine and winemaking, but also in everyday life. It is simple and multifunctional to use. Produced at enterprises that have been developing equipment for making alcohol at home for many years. Therefore, they meet all safety requirements.
Universal faucet adapter for devices Domovenok, Magrych, Good Heat, CHZDA, Dobrovar, Flagman is made of food-grade stainless steel, has a rotating flag that shuts off the water supply at the right time. This useful device is suitable for installation on any modern mixer.
The process of installing the adapter on the faucet is completely simple, since to simplify this process there is a convenient thread with which the adapter is simply screwed to the mixer.
Why do you need a universal faucet adapter?
First of all, this small metal “barrel” plays a rather large role in the process of supplying water to the cooler of a distillation column or moonshine still. With the adapter it becomes much more convenient to connect the water hose, because for this there is a special side pipe with notches that prevent the hose from suddenly slipping off. In addition, the water supply hose is prevented from kinking, which extends its service life and ensures a uniform water flow.
Another advantage universal adapter- the ability to freely use the tap at a time when the water supply to the moonshine still is not needed. In this case, there is no need to disconnect the hose or remove the adapter; you can simply turn the flag to the desired position and use the mixer as usual.
Importance of Coolant in the Distillation Process
Distillation is the process by which the mash is used to obtain ethanol. The principle of producing alcohol is based on the difference in boiling point of the impurities (volatile) contained in the mash and the alcohol itself. This is why it is so important to adhere to the recommended temperature regime during the distillation.
To obtain high-quality alcohol without unnecessary impurities, you must ensure that the distillation temperature does not rise above 300°C. To reduce the temperature, it is enough to increase the water circulation in the flow-type cooler. Since water is usually taken from a pressure water supply system (plumbing), then universal tap adapter will become a convenient auxiliary element for supplying coolant to distillation column(moonshine still).
