I've just orderd on of these. I thought that it'd be good for filling tubs etc on the drainer rather than having them in the sink.

And I hope I can take the head off and connect it direct to my wort chiller.

Link, please?

Ebay for me.

There's a few here http://search.ebay.com//search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=kitchen+faucet

I'm confused--- doesn't everyone's kitchen sink have a faucet? Or is there some special kind of faucet you bought?

Not one that has a pull out hose already attached to it. I'm stuck on the size of pot I can fill in my sink. A 5 litre bottle is too big to fill from the tap.

My current one is like this.

You can purchase sink faucet adapter and connect a coil hose to it. Much cheaper and easier that replacing a kitchen faucet.

kornkob · Nov 11, 2005

Oh--- yeah-- I have one of those.

While the head of the hose isn't easily removed, there is a screen for aerating the water (like on a normal faucet) that you can remove to attach your hose adapter like you would on a normal faucet.

It is handy for filling things bigger than your sink. : )

Thanks David,

But my Tap doesn't have a thread at the end, plus it leakes so It's a good excuse to replace it any way.

And potentially makes the SWMBO happy as well.

"Look, dear, I fixed the sink."

Orfy · Nov 11, 2005

Now why hadn't I thought of that.

I bet it does if you remove the aerator (assuming it has one of those), but that could be a pain each time you need to use it.

If the hose attachment can be pulled out far enough away they are a great thing. saves struggling with the sink while washing out big carboys/brew bins!

Expensive though unless like Orfy, you need to replace your existing tap.

Replacing a leaker is a good excuse to upgrade. I hate working on kitchen sinks! Didn't like it even before I got old.
