I have to go from this to garden hose.
The threads are 3/8 FIP.
A few places have been able to produce a combo that would almost work except there’s no way to see if the end would actually cram in, and if it goes poorly I need a replacement. I have to imagine there is an easier way to so this than attaching a lightsaber to it. And maybe one that doesn’t leak or ruin it.
I have shit for options. The tub/shower switch is at the end, and there’s no way on earth I’m kneeling to work in the tube. The bathroom faucet has 0 threads. There is no utility sink.
Either I find a way to adapt or I have to replace the fixture with something extremely similar aesthetically.

Have you looked in the SharkBite catalog? Time to plumb your inner MacGyver.

Is the white piece integral to the other and not detachable?
Is it a 3/8 hose inside the stainless sleeve? You could connect a ferrule fitting onto the hose directly and then have all kinds of options.
Really, a garden hose? What size?
I also found the SHarkbites lifesavers in difficult situations. They are meant for metal pipe like copper. Not sure they would have a version for tubing.

The white piece goes into the normal faucet.
I would be forced put of the house if I made that not work between my stuff.

Garden hose is garden hose. I think it's all 3/4.
I'm connecting a Gem Dandy to my sink.
At this point I might have to T off under the sink and run a line out when I need it. That makes me a little nervous because I don't like the valves a lot.
-
Maybe if I find the name of the white part?
Screwing into threads is ok but the hose can go lower and spray out the top of the threads.

A Water Bandit and a couple of hose clamps?

It would have to be around 1/4 or 2" :lol:

I think I'm picking up a Moen tonight. Maybe my Delta is better, but whatever... :roll:
-
Maybe not, they don’t have magnets.
This guys faucet is perfect.

I grabbed a universal head. It can connect but the airator thing doesn’t come out for putting other things in… fuckin trash. Maybe the 1/2 mystery threads can connect to something, we’ll see.
-
This could work but no one sells it now, so it seems. Newer Delta heads are impossible.

I’ve places two orders for what looks like it, we’ll see. I suspect neither will be.
-
There are folks who advertise that part for sale:
Shop Model #RP51505
-
Many of those are misleading, unfortunately. I've ordered from two places with low expectations.
-
Looks like a pretty simple cleaning method. Kudos for that, however it seems like the guy selling the cleaner would offer a variety of adapters to connect HIS device to what appears to be several faucet attachment variations. Just sayin. :D
-
I had that thought. But what I've learned from spending an entire day devoted to this... all the faucets have their own unique pieces of shit. :lol:
Old faucets no one uses have lots of aftermarket adapters. All modern pulldown ones are sorta a mix.
-
So the weird shitty aftermarket faucet connector allowed me to put a 3/4 inside diameter hose on it, then a barbed end to garden hose (two pieces). I think this will work for now incase the things I ordered are not what they say at all.

Thanks Mike.
The 3/8" won't adapt properly to the o-ring part as far as I can tell.
