I'm trying to find an adapter for either my sink faucet or my tub so I can connect a garden hose to one of them. I have a large 7'x18' shower/tub "wet room" and would like to be able to use hot water to hose the wet room down while cleaning it.

The sink faucet is a Delta Victorian wide handle. The spout is 3/4" diameter has a male threaded end that is 3/4"-27 thread.

The tub faucet is a Delta Victorian Roman Tub wide handle. The spout has a male threaded end but the thread size is not documented anywhere. I even called Delta and they couldn't tell me the thread size. The spout is right at 1" diameter so I imagine it has a 1" thread of some sort.

Here are some of the adapters I have looked at.

Not sure if the 3/4" FNPT would fit the sink faucet, but this would be perfect if it fit......

With a 9/16" ID rubber fitting, I think I might could squeeze this over the 3/4" sink spout. Might be a tight fit though. Would be great if I could find one of these that would fit over the 1" tub spout. With this adapter I wouldn't have to worry about doping up the threads on the faucet.


Another option I am considering is to tap into the existing PVC and just put in a hose bib, maybe under the sink. I have seen several PVC hose bibs. This would be a little less convenient and quite a bit more expensive.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Most faucet aerators are not pipe threads, they're a straight thread with a gasket to seal them. I had a waterbed a long time ago, and it came with an adapter that fit many faucets to convert to a hose so you could fill the bed with it. You may need to stack adapters...find a straight thread that fits a faucet to a pipe thread, then the fitting you already found. Keep in mind, a typical vanity faucet is flow restricted, and your hose would not get a lot of volume and therefore spray pressure. Better to use the tub valve, which, in most instances, is not flow restricted.

Take the aerator off the lavatory faucet to a decent hardware store and they will have an adapter to hose thread that will work, almost certainly. You should even be able to set it up with a quick disconnect. Finding an adapter for the tub spout I doubt will happen.
