Connect Garden Hose To Sink

Connecting a garden hose to a sink is a simple task that can be completed in a few minutes. By following these instructions, you can easily connect your hose to your sink and begin watering your lawn or garden.

Materials You'll Need

Garden hose
Hose bib (faucet)
Hose washer
Wrench (optional)

Instructions

Locate the hose bib. The hose bib is typically located on the outside of your home near the faucet. It is a small, round fitting with a handle or knob.
Turn off the water supply. Before you begin, turn off the water supply to the hose bib. This will prevent water from leaking out when you disconnect the hose.
Disconnect the old hose. If there is an old hose connected to the hose bib, disconnect it by turning the handle or knob counterclockwise.
Attach the hose washer. A hose washer is a small, rubber washer that helps to create a watertight seal between the hose and the hose bib. Place the hose washer over the end of the hose.
Connect the hose. Screw the hose onto the hose bib by turning it clockwise. Tighten the hose until it is snug, but do not overtighten it.
Turn on the water supply. Slowly turn on the water supply to the hose bib. Check for leaks around the connection between the hose and the hose bib.
Tighten the connection (optional). If there is a leak, you can tighten the connection by using a wrench. Wrap the wrench around the hose bib and tighten the connection until the leak stops.

Tips

If you are having trouble getting the hose to connect to the hose bib, you can try using a pair of pliers to tighten the connection.
If you have a leaking hose, you can try replacing the hose washer. Hose washers are inexpensive and can be found at most hardware stores.
If you are unsure about how to connect a garden hose to a sink, you can always consult a plumber for assistance.
