How to connect wort chiller to this tap?

[brk3]

I'd like to purchase a wort chiller but am completely clueless about how I can connect it to my kitchen tap.

Here are some photos of the tap, maybe its a common fitting someone will recognise... if not what is the standard procedure?

I use this.....with an additional faucet adapter and a hose clamp on the Garden hose end that attaches to the chiller hose.

Unscrew the end of the faucet and take that piece with you to your local hardware store. Tell them you want a fitting that will take its place and allow you to attach a garden hose. They'll get you hooked up. Probably find it in the dish washer area.

Then, depending on what you got with your chiller, find what adapters you might need to go from the new fitting to your chiller. Like what is posted above.

This....

For me, it's a simple Facuet to male hose bib adapter. I usually use my chiller on a hose, but occasionally I will run it to the sink.

That's correct. Also, be gentle when attaching the new fitting or when reattching the old fitting, as the fine thread is easy to cross-thread.

The thing that's still got me stumped is that there is no end of the tap to unscrew - it all seems to be one solid piece of metal (see first photo).

The area below the lip is the aeration fitting. That should unscrew and definitely looks like it should in the photos. Just remember that you need to turn it in the opposite way than you think because you're looking down on the inside of the fitting, not the outside.

If you notice in the first picture there are two small flats that allow you to put a wrench on there. Then on the second picture you can see where it unscrews from. Just remember righty tighty lefty loosey. AND that you need to orient your self looking up! Water usually has some hardness to it that will seat those pieces in there pretty good. There's generally a small screen filter in there that make it a good practice to take them off periodically to clean out anyways.

Just tried, the end piece does indeed unscrew! Thanks a million guys.
