Run hose from utility sink

[pretzelb]

Looking for ideas on how to run a house from my utility sink to my kettle to make filling it up easier. Is there a hose barb that would work? I'm not sure how to measure this faucet to look up a barb.

Get a faucet to garden hose thread adapter, then put a garden hose quick disconnect set up on the end (I picked the brand from my nearest hardware store and they are all about the same).

Are you referring to something like this:

Now THAT is a nifty idea. IF it works

all you need is this for a garden hose:

You can get them at any hardware store and most homebrew supply stores. Make sure you get a hose that is suitable for drinking water, again, hardware stores have them, usually marketed to RV owners.

As an alternative, if your laundry is near the utility sink (or brew area), you can put a garden hose wye splitter on the laundry hose cold water outlet - they are essentially the same fitting. Then you don't need to tie up the utility sink faucet.

I adapt mine to a Type A camlock and then have a Big C quick disconnect at the end of 1/2" ID silicone hose. This is super useful and adaptable. I use it for filling my mash tun, running warm outflow water from my plate chiller. You can squeeze the end of the tube to get a good spray for cleaning out fermenters, MT, BK, kegs, etc. My brew day would be much longer without this simple adapter.

EDIT: I bought it all from @Bobby_M from BrewHardware. Highly recommended

Well this is odd. I had this garden hose connector which looks to be the perfect size but it won't fit.

I have those camlocks and disconnects for my plate chiller but I'm starting to think finding something to adapt the sink faucet will be a problem. It seems like a builder grade utility sink so I assumed it would be an easy connect but maybe not.

Most utility sink faucets have a removable part that converts them to male garden hose. If you take that gray plastic part off will the garden hose fit directly on the faucet?

I think the name of what you're holding in the original picture is an aerator adapter. The gray plastic part is the aerator. Take the aerator off and you have threads on your faucet that you can use to build an adapter to a camlock system.

It's been awhile, but my recollection is that there are a couple/three different standard thread sizes. Take your aerator adapter down to your home store and they have something that you can thread the adapter into to learn what sizing are the threads for your faucet. Then you simply buy the right adapter and any other adapter pieces that get you to your 1/2" threading for the Type A or Type F camlock.

Here's a closer look at what I composed from standard plumbing parts at Lowes
