How to connect a hose to any tap
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This is how to connect an outdoor garden hose or pressure washer to any indoor tap. The fittings used will allow for any indoor tap, whether it be from a bathroom, kitchen or laundry to be converted to outdoor tap fittings so that you can use a garden hose or even a pressure washer as you would outside. Connecting to a faucet is easy and can be done using either the tap aerator or a simple clamp on fitting to a tap or spout. This will help so many people who live in an apartment or town house which does not have an outside tap . For more DIY and Howto videos LIKE COMMENT and SUBSCRIBE.

This set was so nice I purchased a second set when I ended up adding a second 50’ hose to my set up. kzread.infoUgkxG9W58byG1ZFYaD32YfLk74_TrU5mNkXV Only down side hooking two hoses up with quick connects you end up with a 6” ling section of fitting would be nice if there was a union type fitting instead that would save a huge chunk of material in line with my hose. But that’s just how I set it up. I go between a 50’-100’ all the time. Otherwise mine hasn’t leaked once used Teflon tape of course and have been running these since early spring 2022!
I wish I saw this video when I used to live in a apartment. It would have saved me alot time washing my bicycle in the balcony with a bucket.
All depends on the tap fitting most dont have a screw
Absolute legend Bill - have been looking for ways to use pressure washer to clean shower. I originally ran garden hose from outside tap but that was an epic fail - need a second person. This is perfect🎉. Thanks Bill.

Great idea, I'm wondering if the pressure washer would wash out all the grout between the tiles with that level of pressure?
thank you so much/ Our apartment building disconnected our not frost free outside tap and has no intention of replacing it/ Too bad for me as I have a large shrub , flower, and veg. garden in the ground and in large pots. It is very attractive and beautifies the building. I purchased clear tubing and tried pool noodles to join. Unfortunately it was in sections. and leaks. I plan on using your idea.
Bloody hell Bill! You the man. Love this tip.

How do stop garden hose fittings from leaking? I have tried many new ones, brass and plastic, always leak water at the tap end from the quick connect fittings, o-rings always look good. Am I trying to use too much pressure. Live in a city in New Zealand.

@@natashaleak2842 Found Holman fittings at Bunnings that have 2 o-rings, they work well.
If you're shower enclosure is tile and grout, a pressure washer will gradually erode the utility and asthetics. Damaged grout can cause mold and expensive foundation damage. If you're shower enclosure is made from fiberglass, a pressure washer will damage the gel coat, which will make the enclosure rough and trap dirt. If you must clean by increase the water pressure, buy a Ryobi 18 volt battery operated pressure washer--The pressure is much weaker and it can draw water from a bucket or a filled sink. If you're tired of the word "if", avoid listening to Bread.
WHAT!?!? Nice pressure washer!
Was there a cap on your tap before you put an adapter, cause on my tap I screw off this cap off thus allowing for adapter to be attached
Thanks so much. I needed this info. 🥰
Be extremely careful using a high pressure washer in a shower recess. Too much pressure can cause damage to grout or silicone areas.

The whole purpose of me watching your video was to see how you hooked up the universal connector, I haven't found any videos on thaat particular adapter. And you don't even show it, lol. I suggest not to put something in your video and not demonstrate what it does or how it works.
This is 2023, they don’t install those kinds of facets anymore. Today you have to hookup from UNDER the sink. Got a video for that?? Under kitchen or bathroom.
Hmm not every tap is the same though
That wasn't showing you any tap!!!!!!!!!!
Too much talking
That's not any tap...
Great video but will be excellent if you can get straight into the point. Wasted 3min watching the beginning
I needed to see how the metal bits fit together, which washers go where and which end connects to tap as not sets I have purchased fit or have instructions. You literally say here are the bits then don't show how they fit together. Also - the twisted tap you rate? 90% rust and snap on first use. Pointless.
