Universal hose adapters in Leroy Merlin. Homemade hose faucet adapter

The need to use the flow of tap water outside the sink or sink occurs frequently. The bucket or pan does not fit in the container and is difficult to handle. That's when you need an adapter for a hose to a faucet. 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 you intend to water country cottage area, facilitate the cleaning of a large area, carry out repairs in the house, ventilate and drain boiling water from heating system. Adapter fittings are the best solution to the problem. They are simple, like nozzles for a hose on a faucet or valve, but complicated designs in this group are also not uncommon.

Watering accessories

The classification of hose products is based on differences in diameter and material. Gardeners consider an internal section of 13 mm to be the most convenient for connecting to a water supply system for the purpose of watering beds. Approaching him in popularity in the garden "line" diameters of 18 and 25 mm.

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

Material in the manufacture of a hose for a kitchen faucet country house can serve:

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

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

• fitting (threaded or without thread) with 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 (this part diluting the flows is also called an adapter) will be useful. The adapter bar-block will allow not only to wash your hands, but also to expand the water supply circuit due to water filters. It also provides a quick and easy connection. washing machine to the ready node of household communications.

Branching block makes it possible to connect 4 hoses to the system at once

Standard adapter with 3/4 watering tap - the best articulation option

Gas and water fittings

The arrangement of the kitchen-bathroom area is rarely complete today without flexible polymer snake hoses braided with metal. Docking is carried out by means of a sealed threaded connection hose with tap and other plumbing accessories. The marking of the hoses is different: the blue stripe is for a cold jet, the red one is for a heated one. You should buy them with a margin of length.
Purchase and installation gas equipment- a task of increased responsibility, since breakdowns and leaks in such an important communication circuit 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. Mark a gas-carrying set of hoses and taps with watering cans for gas yellow.

How to connect a hose to a faucet

Before using the design

1. Pick up the adapter nozzle - a small multi-layered ring that is screwed onto the faucet for subsequent articulation with a narrower threaded tip garden hose.
2. Covering the sink hole with a towel (so as not to drop or drown small parts), unscrew the faucet 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 available in stores) onto the thread of the flexible watering tube. It will become a water purifier.
4. Before connecting the hose to the faucet, make sure that the rubber/vinyl gasket for the hose end has not fallen out, that it is tight and that 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 resulting contact when tightening.

After using the structure

1. Unscrew the pair of “hose-nozzle” and replace the faucet 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 gasket strip that covered the thread (extra pieces of it should not stick out in the opening), put the head back on, ensuring the lost tightness.

Significantly simplifies the processing-irrigation of farmland a set of adapters with a 3/4 tap for a hose with a nipple and a connector that cuts off the media autonomously. This is an affordable product that is relatively easy to find in our stores. As, however, and a steel drain valve with a hose nozzle for draining. Try to make your life easier with the help of such devices - they will always pay off.

A ball valve is often sold with a ready-made adapter

The nozzle on the faucet is designed to connect distillation column and moonshine to the mixer for the purpose of supplying to the cooler cold water. On the side there is a fitting for connecting a hose. The nozzle does not need to be constantly removed and put on the tap - it has a switch for supplying water to the 10 mm tube and regular water supply.

The union is intended for connection of hoses of 10 mm. The faucet adapter is equipped with a gasket that provides reliable connection and excludes the possibility of leakage.

The adapter fits the external and internal threads of the spout (gander). The adapter has a bushing. This is an adapter for an adapter to a faucet with internal thread.

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

The nozzle is widely used not only in moonshining and winemaking, but also in everyday life. It is simple and multifunctional to use. Produced at enterprises that have been developing equipment for the preparation of alcohol at home for many years. Therefore, they meet all safety requirements.

Universal faucet adapter for devices Domovenok, Magrych, Dobry Zhar, CHZDA, Dobrovar, The flagman is made of food stainless steel, has a rotary flag that shuts off the water supply at the right time. Such a useful device is suitable for installation on any modern mixer.

The process of mounting the adapter on the faucet is completely simple, since to simplify this process there is a convenient thread with which the adapter is simply screwed to the mixer.

Why do I need a universal tap adapter?

First of all, this small metal "barrel" plays a rather large role in the process of supplying water to the cooler of a distillation column or moonshine still. With an adapter, it becomes much more convenient to connect a water hose, because for this there is a special side pipe with notches that prevent the hose from suddenly slipping off. In addition, the kink of the water supply hose is eliminated, which allows to extend its life and ensure a uniform water flow.

Another advantage universal adapter- the ability to freely use the tap at the moment when the water supply to moonshine still need not. 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 in the usual way.

The importance of coolant in the distillation process

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

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

I decided to make some distilled water here and, accordingly, I needed to connect the Liebig refrigerator (distiller) to the water supply. I began to think about how to connect the hose to the faucet.

Standard solutions in the form of ready-made adapters for a hose faucet cost some absolutely unimaginable money (), so I began to think about how to get by with little bloodshed.

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

The fact is that the thread on the watering can of the mixer is very specific (diameter 22 mm, step 1 mm) and no ready-made plumbing bells and whistles are suitable for it. Except for the aerator, of course.

Unscrew it and shake out all the insides. We only need the metal shell itself:

By the way, plastic aerators are completely unsuitable because of their fragility and fragility. Need metal.

We go to the nearest market, where they sell all kinds of plumbing and buy a fitting there desired diameter(for our existing hose) with a 1/2 inch internal thread. I bought for 9mm:

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

We take a grinder with a cutting wheel and separate the excess:

It should turn out something like this:

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

and gently grind 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 aerator body. This must 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 pass freely through the thread and abut against the internal narrowing of the aerator body, then our nozzle on the hose faucet is ready. It remains only to find a 1/2" silicone gasket (they are like dirt everywhere).

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 at work: nothing leaks anywhere, everything is reliable and aesthetically pleasing.

AT total our attachment to water faucet for the hose it cost 45 rubles (brass fitting), 5 rubles for the gasket and about 40 minutes of time, 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 a hose to a kitchen faucet.

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

Well, if you don’t have the opportunity to carve a fitting, for example, you don’t have a suitable tool, then an adapter for a hose faucet can be made even easier. How? Watch the video!

That's all. Thank you for your attention!
