How to Connect a Hose to Your Faucet (Step-by-Step Guide)

If you've ever struggled with watering indoor plants, cleaning hard-to-reach spaces, or wished you could get a hose exactly where you need it, connecting a hose to your faucet is the solution. In this guide, we'll walk you through exactly how to do it — no plumber required.

What You Need to Connect a Hose to Your Faucet

To connect a hose to a standard kitchen or bathroom sink faucet, you'll need:

  • An indoor hose designed for faucet connection
  • A faucet-to-hose adapter (most indoor hoses include several sizes)
  • A faucet with a removable aerator (not a pull-down or pull-out faucet)

Step-by-Step: How to Connect a Hose to Your Faucet

  1. Check your faucet type. This works with standard faucets that have a removable aerator at the tip. It does not work with pull-down faucets.
  2. Remove the aerator. Unscrew the aerator from the tip of your faucet by hand or with pliers. Wrap the faucet with a cloth to avoid scratching.
  3. Select the right adapter. Match one of the included faucet-to-hose adapters to your faucet's thread size. Our hose includes 7 adapters to fit 95% of standard faucets.
  4. Attach the adapter. Screw the adapter onto your faucet in place of the aerator.
  5. Connect the hose. Attach your indoor hose to the adapter, turn on the water, and you're ready to go.

Best Uses for a Hose That Connects to Your Faucet
