Hello everyone! I'm still relatively new around here but have a question I was hoping someone could help with.

I do all my brewing in my kitchen, my gas range is definitely up to the task. However, I do not seem to have any place to connect a wort chiller...no removable aerators on my faucets. I noticed last night my pot filler (conveniently located very close to my brew spot) has a removable aerator. The aerator itself appears to be junior-size (13/16"), and I *think* I found the pieces to connect a standard wort chiller to the pot filler, but had a late night and may not be thinking clearly. Here are the pieces I picked out...I haven't price shopped or anything yet.

Will this work, or am I deluded / sleep deprived / a dummy / all of the above?
 
You can use remove the aerator and use an adapter to connect a 3/4 hose. I do that on my kitchen sink so that I can run my chiller. You just have to make sure you have the correct adapter. The adaptor I orginally used didn't work after I remodeled my kitchen. The new facet is from Chicago Faucet and they have a weird thread, which was slightly harder to track down.
