How to connect a benchtop dishwasher to a tap?

[MinB]

I am considering buying a benchtop dishwasher, but am not sure what is currently available so as to connect the hose to the kitchen tap. 

5 years ago (YouTube video) a person could buy two parts to make that connection: a) Sink Tap Click On and b) NYLEX brass sprinkler adapter.

Bunnings seems to not sell either anymore.

IMAGES BELOW:

1) MY KITCHEN TAP: Is this ideal for a dishwasher hose to be attached and also easy enough to take the aerator off?

2) TAP CONNECTIONS YOUTUBE: 

This is what BUNNINGS sold 5 years ago so are these still available or is something else now in their place?

3) HOSE HOLDER(?): What is holding this hose up? Does Bunnings sell anything like this, also, a contraption that can keep the drain hose fixed to the sink area whilst the dishwasher is on. 

The USA has this fantastic 3 in one tap connector that is a part of the dishwasher components/parts/kit when sold and it is such a shame that is not available here as it keeps the drain hose in place to face down the sink plus you can press a red button so as to get a glass of water etc.

Anyways, to reiterate, what is available now so that I can attach the hose to the kitchen tap? Don't want to buy anything if it is going to be a hassle getting tap connection parts.

Thanks!

Still waiting on the dishwasher, but I did manage to unscrew the outer chrome, and there's a tiny bit of threading. Useless for the hose?

Hi @bellamoure,

Unfortunately, it's unlikely that the thread would be large enough in diameter to attach the hose to. Just to confirm, is the aerator thread anywhere near 19-20mm?

It's fairly likely that you'll have to use a Pope Indoor Tap Adaptor to connect to that thread, then a Pope 12mm 20mm Sprinkler Adaptor American Thread and 12mm Double Ended Hose Connector to adapt the connector hose so it can be connected.

It's about closer to 23-24mm by my measurement.

So if I'm understanding right, I'd remove that outer chrome tap bit again and replace it with the Pope Indoor Tap Adaptor, then the Sprinkler Adaptor would screw into the dishwasher's inlet hose, then they'd both connect using the Double Ended Hose Connector?

Hello @bellamoure 

Yes, that is correct you have the sequence correctly assembled in your description. My best advice is to make sure that the fittings are firm and secure but not overly tight.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Thanks for all of your help so far!

I finally got the dishwasher, and 2 of the 3 parts fit perfectly. Unfortunately, the Pope 12mm 20mm Sprinkler Adaptor American Thread didn't quite fit in the provided inlet hose. I can't get it in any furhter than this, and it's a very tight and awkward fit. Plus, all the water leaks out.

Would this Pope Universal Sprinkler Adaptor fit better, maybe? Or will I need a different inlet hose?

Hello @bellamoure 

If the Pope 12mm 20mm Sprinkler Adaptor American Thread did not sit properly. Please try the Pope Universal Sprinkler Adaptor and make sure to use plumber's tape on the threaded section of the adaptor.

Thanks, it's working perfectly! I really appreciate this! Hoping this might help someone else too some day.
