A Kitchen Tap Hose Connector For Flexible Solutions
To improve efficiency within your home, use a kitchen tap hose connector. Dynamic options from eBay allow you to easily water your plants or clean your windows, and come in a wide range of styles.
Are connectors designed to prevent leaks?Yes, but the vendor's description on eBay will let you know if a particular model can be used with a tap that doesn't have a check valve fitted. Without a check valve, mixers may sprinkle water if used with the wrong category of connector. They fit threaded kitchen taps and are made from a durable combination of metal and plastic, so they won't easily develop cracks or leaks. They usually include sealing washers, which tightly fill the space that they are designed for, and prevent leaking. Some on eBay come with up to three washers, so if you are using them in a residence with different mixers, you can change the washer to get the correct seal.
Are connectors available for every type of mixer tap?Yes. Vendors on eBay provide connectors for every type of mixer that you use in your home or office. Use them with single-level mixers, and add even more versatility to mixers that come with a pull-out hand shower. The adapter will not interfere with the regular water pressure in the pipe and most are lightweight, so they won't change the balance within your system. Faucet adapters from eBay can be easily screwed onto the tap, changing the end into a male fitting for your garden hose. These can fit the following types of mixer taps:
- Long, tubular swivel spouts.
- Round.
- Square.
Many mixers are made with durable stainless steel, and you can find connectors on eBay to match that look. Couplers may be made of solid brass, so they won't wear easily. Select from options on eBay with an attractive chrome or nickel finish to enhance your decor.
Selecting the proper fitSelecting the right size connector will ensure that your hands can comfortably fit under and on either side of the tap while the accessory is in place. Start by checking the width of your tap. Most connectors on eBay will fit taps that are about 34 mm wide, so they will fit snugly, but not impede movement. They provide adequate room for standard hoses when attached to taps that are 43 mm high. Once your hose connector is attached, you should be able to comfortably use the mixer, solving the problem of flats and other residences that don't have an outside tap.
