Description
A hose connection from a suitable indoor tap
Use a kitchen or basin tap as a water source for a garden hose when its downward-facing spout suits this clamp-on adapter.
The orange screw cap adjusts the grip around the spout, while a rubber washer seals against the outlet. A male garden quick-connect spigot provides the hose connection below.
Check the fit guide before ordering. Hose and female hose-end connector are separate.
Check the spout shape and space around it
The guide shows an opening approximately 3cm wide and 3.5cm high, an overall adapter length of 12cm and a cap width of 6cm. The size-guide photograph shows the adapter upside down; the hose spigot points down when fitted.
Compare the spout with the opening and allow room for the cap, frame and hose connection. The tap's water outlet needs to sit squarely over the washer, with enough suitable surface for the clamp to hold.
These measurements describe the illustrated adapter; they are not a guaranteed tap-diameter range. A wide, angled or unusually shaped spout may not fit or seal even if one measurement appears suitable.
The clamp and hose connection do different jobs
The black frame fits around the tap spout and the orange cap tightens the assembly. This is not a threaded aerator adapter; the tap does not need to screw into a BSP or aerator thread on this fitting.
The spigot at the bottom needs a female garden hose-end connector. Choose that connector to suit your hose bore as well as the quick-connect interface.
The optional grey connector in Frequently bought together is for ½-inch hose. It is separate from this adapter. If your hose already has a suitable female connector, you may not need another.
Align the seal before tightening
Make the first connection and water check over the sink.
Position the washer
Turn the tap off. Seat the rubber washer in the adapter and position the frame around the spout so the outlet lines up with the washer. Check that the sealing surfaces are clean.
Secure by hand
Tighten the orange cap just enough to hold the adapter securely. Do not overtighten or force it onto an unsuitable spout; this can damage the adapter or tap.
Connect and test
Clip on a compatible female hose connector, support the hose and turn the tap on gradually. If water leaks around the spout, turn it off, remove the adapter and readjust the alignment rather than tightening harder.
Questions about fit and connection
Will this fit every kitchen tap?
No. It is intended for a suitable downward-facing spout. Compare the spout's shape, outlet position and available clearance with the size guide. The approximate 3cm by 3.5cm opening is not a promise that every tap within those dimensions will fit or seal.
Does it screw into the tap's aerator thread?
No. The orange cap adjusts a clamp around the spout. The rubber washer seals against the tap outlet. If you need a fitting that screws into an aerator, choose a different adapter matched to that tap's thread.
Can I push a bare hose onto the outlet?
No. The outlet is a male garden quick-connect spigot. Fit a compatible female hose-end connector to your hose, then clip that connector onto the spigot. Hose and the female connector are separate; the optional grey connector in Frequently bought together is for ½-inch hose.
What should I check if water leaks around the tap?
Turn the tap off before adjusting anything. Remove and reposition the adapter, check that the rubber washer is seated and align the tap outlet over it. Do not compensate for poor fit by overtightening. If the spout cannot sit squarely and seal, use a different suitable connection.
