How to connect garden hose to kitchen sink tap?

Hi, I live in an apartment and would like to connect the kitchen sink tap to a garden hose so I can use it at the balcony. Is it do~able? What connector do I need?

Re: How to connect kitchen sink tap to garden hose

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @KC2. It's fantastic that you've joined us, and many thanks for the question about connecting your garden hose to the sink tap.

 

There are a couple of options that should both work for you. There's the Holman 15mm Plain Tap Adaptor With Clamp or Pope Indoor Tap Adaptor. I'd recommend the Pope adaptor, as once it's installed, there is a quick-release mechanism that makes attaching and detaching the hose a simple process.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance.

Does the Pope kitchen adapter fit the Pope Small Garden Hose Reel please? The adapter is 12mm and the reel hose is 8mm. If not, is there another connector or hose I can use for my balcony that attaches to my indoor tap? Many thanks.DF16E7D3-4EE6-4C2B-86B0-1CB4DF233BE2.png

Re: How to connect kitchen sink tap to garden hose

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Seajade. It's brilliant to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about connecting a hose to a sink tap.

 

12mm adaptors are a standardised size for garden hoses. The Pope indoor tap adaptor has a 12mm fitting ready to accept your adaptor.

 

Please let me know if you have further questions.

Just to clarify. If I purchase the above mentioned pope hose reel and the 12mm kitchen tap adapter, that will be all I require to set it up? Thanks.

Hi @Seajade,

 

I haven't actually had my hands on one of those reels, but typically you'd need a tap-to-reel connector as well. It's a small linking section of hose that plugs the reel into the tap. The Pope hose reel, tap-to-reel connector and the 12mm kitchen tap adapter is all you'd need.
