It is convenient to attach a garden hose to a kitchen faucet when a large container needs to be filled with water, or when plants need to be watered. This is especially the case when an outdoor industrial hose spigot is not available. Even when a garden spigot is available, hot water may be needed. Large containers may be too heavy to lift from the kitchen sink, and may not fit in the sink or under the faucet at all. Containers may also be unsanitary and pose a health risk if they come in contact with the kitchen sink or counter top. Garden hoses can be easily attached to kitchen faucets that have screw-on tips.

Tips:

Some kitchen faucets may not need a faucet adapter.

Screw on the faucet adapter, faucet tip, and hose without tools (screw on hand-tight).

 

Apply the Teflon tape clockwise on the threads. (clockwise as you look into the open end of the faucet, hose, pipe, etc.)
