Garden Hose To Kitchen Sink

Connecting a garden hose to a kitchen sink can be a convenient way to get water outside for tasks like watering plants, washing your car, or filling a pool. It's a relatively simple process that can be completed in just a few minutes with the right tools and materials.

Materials You'll Need

* Garden hose * Kitchen sink faucet aerator * Aerator adapter * Hose washer * Adjustable wrench or pliers

Instructions

Remove the faucet aerator.

The aerator is the small, screen-like attachment on the end of the kitchen sink faucet. Use an adjustable wrench or pliers to unscrew the aerator.

2. Attach the aerator adapter. The aerator adapter is a small, threaded fitting that will connect the garden hose to the faucet. Screw the adapter onto the faucet in place of the aerator.

3. Add a hose washer. A hose washer is a small, rubber washer that helps to create a watertight seal between the hose and the faucet. Place the hose washer on the end of the garden hose, then screw the hose onto the aerator adapter.

4. Tighten the connection. Use an adjustable wrench or pliers to tighten the connection between the garden hose and the faucet. Be sure to tighten it securely, but do not overtighten it.

5. Turn on the water. Turn on the water at the kitchen sink faucet. The water should now flow through the garden hose.

Tips

* If you are having trouble getting the water to flow through the garden hose, check the connections to make sure they are tight. You may also need to replace the hose washer.

* If you are using the garden hose to fill a pool, be sure to place the end of the hose in the pool before turning on the water. This will help to prevent the hose from whipping around and causing damage.

* When you are finished using the garden hose, be sure to turn off the water at the kitchen sink faucet and disconnect the hose from the adapter.
