Review on πŸ’§ Swivel Aerator Faucet Adapter Kit for Garden Hose - Multi-Thread Male to Male & Female to Male Connector - Chrome Finished by Andrew Frison

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well but see description.

Ideal for connecting to a faucet and the swivel is great for moving the nozzle around the bathroom sink making it easy to clean and use. And there is a thread on the bottom of the swivel to install the aerator back onto this swivel. I have no problem with the swivel part of this faucet adapter. But there is a problem. The 3/4" thread on the bottom won't screw into many flat 3/4" hoses because the aerator thread needs to fit snugly into the hose tail. Any washers in the swivel or hose will prevent the hose connector socket from getting good thread engagement. You can bolt on the female part of most hoses if you don't have washers in either part. But then water leaks out of the connector. I finally solved this problem by going to a hardware store and buying a very thin rubber hose washer. Even with this thin washer it was difficult to coil the hose but after some effort it was possible. And no leaks. You can also use tape around the threads to stop the leak, but this is for more permanent installations and probably won't look as pretty. When choosing hose for this you will need hose with 3/4" deep threads to allow the aerator threads to sink into the hose connector. Mostly I use it with an aerator on the smaller bottom thread, but once about a week later I have an aquarium water changer set on that uses a 3/4" garden hose thread. Works great if you don't mind doing a little DIY installation. I'm deducting a star because the aerator threads have to go deep into the hose connector.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Low maintenance
