We connect the hose adapter to the tap. Homemade hose faucet adapter Single-arm hose faucet adapter

I decided to make some distilled water here and, accordingly, it was necessary 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 hose faucet cost some absolutely unthinkable money (), so I began to think about how to get by with a little blood.

In general, the solution turned out to be primitive: to connect the hose to the tap, the easiest way is to use an aerator:

The fact is that the thread on the mixer spout 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, due to their fragility and fragility, are completely unsuitable. Need from metal.

We go to the nearest market, where they sell all kinds of plumbing fixtures and buy there a fitting of the required diameter (for the hose we have) with a 1/2 inch female thread. I bought at 9mm:

We clamp the fitting into the drill, check that there are no beats during rotation:

We take a grinder with a cut-off wheel and separate the excess:

You should end up with something like this:

Then we change the cutting wheel on the grinder to a petal one:

and carefully grind it to get a flat plane:

Then, with the same petal circle, we turn the hexagon into a circle and reduce its diameter until our modernized fitting begins to enter the inside of the aerator body. This should be done very slowly and carefully, the main thing is not to miss the moment. We periodically stop and check whether it is included or not:

As soon as the fitting began to freely pass through the thread and abut against the internal narrowing of the aerator body, then our nozzle for the hose faucet is 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 the hose to the mixer:

Everything is assembled in this order:

I checked it in work: nothing leaks anywhere, everything is reliable and aesthetically pleasing.

In total, our nozzle for a water tap for a hose cost 45 rubles (brass fitting), 5 rubles for a gasket and about 40 minutes, including cleaning the room.

And as a bonus, we also have a half-inch brass nut left:

I hope my experience was useful to you and you learned another way to connect the hose to the kitchen faucet.

By the way, the aerator will not suffer after such use. It can be reassembled and screwed into place. As if nothing had happened!

Well, if you do not have the ability to grind the fitting, for example, there is no suitable tool, then the adapter for the hose faucet can be made even easier. How? Watch the video!

That's all. Thank you for the attention!


The need to use the tap water flow outside the sink or sink is common. A bucket or saucepan does not fit in the container and is difficult to manipulate. That's when you need a hose to faucet adapter. It remains to find out which of the devices for draining water masses is right for you and how to use it correctly.

Use cases

The question of redirecting the water flow becomes relevant when the intention is to water the summer cottage, facilitate cleaning of a large area, carry out repairs in the house, air out and drain the boiling water from the heating system. Adapter fittings are the best solution to the problem. They are simple, like nozzles for a hose on a tap or a valve, but complicated designs in this group are also not uncommon.

Irrigation accessories

The classification of hose products is based on differences in diameter and material. An internal section of 13 mm is considered by gardeners to be the most convenient for connecting to a water supply for watering the beds. The diameters of 18 and 25 mm are approaching it in popularity in the gardening "line".

A simple plastic splitter for the watering hose is a democratic solution for summer residents

The material for the manufacture of a tap hose for the kitchen of a country house can be:

  • tech rubber;
  • plastic;
  • polyvinyl chloride;
  • nylon.

The owners of apartments and summer cottages recognized rubber as more reliable and durable than others: it calmly “tolerates” temperature jumps, is not afraid of kinks and is strong enough. Plastic breaks down and becomes coated, nylon deforms with frequent transitions from cold to hot environments. The option with a reinforced PVC irrigation sleeve, convenient and durable, is very good, but for many it is expensive.
The list of elements of the irrigation system will definitely include:

  • fitting (threaded or unthreaded) with a 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 part is also called an adapter). The adapter strip block will allow not only washing your hands, but also expanding the water supply circuit due to water filters. And it will also provide the ability to quickly and easily connect the washing machine to a ready-made household communications hub.

Gas and water fittings

The arrangement of the kitchen-bathroom area is rarely done today without flexible polymer hoses-snakes, braided with metal. Docking is carried out by means of a sealed threaded connection of a hose with a tap and other plumbing accessories. The marking of the hoses is different: the blue stripe for the cold jet, the red stripe for the heated jet. They should be bought with a margin of length.
The purchase and installation of gas equipment is 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. The gas-carrying set of hoses and taps with gas nozzles are marked in yellow.

How to connect the hose to the tap

Before using the structure

  1. Pick up the adapter nozzle - a small multi-layer ring that you screw onto the faucet for later mating with the narrower threaded end of the garden hose.
  2. Covering the hole in the sink 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.
  3. If there is no vacuum regulator valve in the system, first screw the adapter valve (they are in stores) onto the thread of the flexible watering pipe. It will become a water strainer.
  4. Before connecting the hose to the faucet, make sure that the rubber / vinyl cuff for the hose end has not fallen out, is tight and the connection is not in danger of leaking.
  5. Screw the hose with the valve to the nozzle of the water tap, be sure to check the tightness and water tightness of the contact when tightening.

After using the structure

  1. Unscrew the “hose-nozzle” pair and replace the valve tip. If there is a leak that has not been observed before, wrap a Teflon strip around the threaded part of the spout.
  2. On the strip-gasket that engulfed the thread (its extra pieces should not stick out in the opening), put the head again, ensuring the lost tightness.

This is an affordable product that is relatively easy to find in our stores. As, however, and the steel drain cock with a hose nozzle for draining. Try to make your life easier with such devices - they will always pay off.

The ball valve is often sold with a ready-made adapter.

The nozzle on the tap is designed to connect the rectification column and the moonshine still to the mixer in order to supply cold water to the cooler. A hose connection is located on the side. The nozzle does not need to be constantly removed and put on the tap - it has a switch for water supply to the 10 mm tube and normal water supply.

The fitting is designed to connect 10 mm hoses. The tap adapter is equipped with a gasket that ensures a secure connection and eliminates the possibility of leakage.

The adapter fits on the external and internal threads of the spout (gander). The adapter has a sleeve. This is an adapter for a female mixer tap adapter.

Adapters are made of high quality and wear-resistant materials: stainless steel and polypropylene. Products made from them have an almost unlimited period of use. Stainless steel does not corrode, therefore it is not afraid of contact with water.

The attachment is widely used not only in home brewing and winemaking, but also in everyday life. It is simple and versatile to use. Produced in enterprises that have been developing equipment for making alcohol at home for many years. Therefore, they meet all safety requirements.

Universal tap adapter for devices Domovenok, Magrych, Dobry Zhar, ChZDA, Dobrovar, The flagship is made of food grade stainless steel, has a rotary flag that blocks the water supply at the right time. Such a useful device is suitable for installation on any modern mixer.

The installation process of the adapter on the tap is quite simple, since to simplify this process there is a convenient thread, with which the adapter is simply screwed onto the mixer.

What is a universal tap adapter for?

First of all, this small metal "barrel" plays a rather large role in the process of supplying water to the cooler of a rectification 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 nozzle with notches that prevent the hose from suddenly slipping off. In addition, the water supply hose is not kinked, which extends its life and ensures an even water flow.

Another advantage universal adapter- the ability to freely use the tap at a time when the water supply to the moonshine 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.

The importance of coolant in the distillation process

Distillation is the process in which ethyl alcohol is obtained from the mash. The principle of obtaining alcohol is based on the difference in the boiling point of impurities (volatiles) contained in the wash and the alcohol itself. That is why it is so important to adhere to the recommended temperature regime during distillation.

To obtain high-quality alcohol without unnecessary impurities, it is necessary to ensure that the distillation temperature does not rise above 300 ° C. To lower the temperature, it is enough to increase the water circulation in the flow-through cooler. Since water is usually taken from a pressurized water supply system (water supply), then universal tap adapter will become a convenient auxiliary element for supplying coolant to the distillation column (moonshine still).
