The hoses that come with the sink are metric. They don't fit any american or standard shut off valves. Is there an adapter?

I live in The Villages, Florida. I purchased the Kraus sink - didnt notice if the hoses were standard or metric. I have water supply lines coming off the shut off valves and just connected the faucet hoses to those supply lines with existing fittings. Make sure you use sticky pads under sink - the bottom of the sink isnt completely flat and requires a little shimming to make sure it doesnt wobble.

I had no problem with mine fitting. Are you in the US where faucets are standard size? I thought all would be the same. If it is metric, the threads would be different from standard, but I did not know there were metric threads in faucets. Have you asked at a local hardware/plumbing store?

1-7/8". The sink I put this on came from Ikea. You should know that although it's cheap, I had to go to a specialty plumbing shop to get adaptors for supply valves. Around $15. Lowes and Home Depot did not carry what was needed. The faucet works well and was amusing how it confused my guests.

First off, two adapters came with it. I tried it on my kitchen faucet and a bar sink faucet - it would not fit either although a similar but smaller type would. it was too big to be used with any other sink I have so I didn't even try it. I have other adapters from other repairs and I couldn't find anything that would make it fit. One of the adapters almost worked but was just a hair too small to tighten properly. I have a lot of experience "jerry-rigging' things and I couldn't find any way to make it usable.

the shut off valve displayed is for 134a so any 134a hose should work but they also sell cross over fittings to connect tor12 or just about any way you want to go. there are to many ways you can go to talk about. good luck

Take it down to Home Depot and they'll sell you the adapter so you can connect it to a water hose. The threads are for plumbing type connections. The adapter will make it work.

It's difficult. My contractor couldn't figure it out. I had to go to my local hardware store with it and similar piece of pipe that is sticking out of the wall. They found the parts that I needed to make the connections work. The issue is that the faucet itself is in metric while our pipes are in inches. The piece that goes between the faucet and that goes to the wall are metric on one side while inches on the other. Finally, I got plumbers tape. Not the regular white one, but a blue-green color, which is more heavy duty and prevents leaks. In addition, I was told to use some sort of goop that you put on both sides of the threads (the male and female parts of the pipes - in ALL the connections: from the faucet, the adaptor, and the wall). Let it dry overnight or two days, and I guarantee that it'll work. The only other thing I can recommend if you really want a claw-foot tub faucet that has less issues, you'll have to get one made for the US inches connectors, you'll have to guy one that is REALLY expensive; like $500-$900. I hope this helps.

It is exactly correct for my water meters with a main shutoff valve. I would assume they are a standard size. I bought two others which were too flimsey. This is a professional type.

This needs no special adaptor. It should just screw right onto any standard hose.

You should be connecting the faucet to fexible "faucet connector" hoses which then connect to the water inlet valves under your sink. These valves normally connect to your " INNNER diameter copper pipe that supplies the water (comes out from the wall under sink. You can choose to change the inlet valves (usually screw right off/on) or use flexible faucet connector hoses that have connectors at each end which fit your valve and faucet. Take the faucet to home depot or other store to be sure. Get faucet connector hoses that match that end. Measure the INNER (hole) and OUTER (threads) diameters of the inlet shut-off valves under the sink. Also measure the inner & outer diameters of the fitting that is soldered on to the " copper pipe coming from the wall. You need to know which measurement the shut-off valve package is referring to when you look at the package at the store. BTW- If you decide to replace your shut-off valves under your sink (we did - always a good idea if you don't know how old they are) use the turn style. They work better in an emergency, or when doing any plumbing work on your sink!) If you do this, shut the water off at the main valve to the house, put a drip container under the pipe fitting to catch any dripping water. Drain the water from the pipes by opening 1 or 2 faucets at the highest and lowest points in the house. When it stops dripping, you can take off the sink connectors and shut-off valves under the sink. Then so your work. Finally, some tips: 1. Look up how to do this on youTube. There are great videos there. 2. Take photos (we use our cell phones) or video when you remove each piece, so you remember where evrerything goes when replacing it. Also, it help when you're explaining what you need when you talk to the clerk at the hardware store. Have fun!

It should fit at the end of a standard hose. Spend the money and go with the brass, don't use the chrome ones, I've had bad luck with those.

Hi Barbara, the standard garden size hose is 5/8 inch and house outside faucets are the same. It is unlikely you can buy another size. If you can attach your garden hose to your outside faucet, this shut off should fit as well.

I'm in a rental too. Sometimes you have to go to Home depot and find an adapter with one end fitting your reverse unit and the other your sink tap.

The water chef comes with several different adapters and fits most sinks. They have a number to call if you need a different piece.

The faucet comes with 1/4" plastic supply lines that can connect directly to the shut off valves in the wall with the appropriate connectors. I was able to connect it right out of the box without having to purchase any extra parts. Don't tighten them too much, as they can leak. Trust me on that one.

I use mine on a standard laundry utility sink faucet and didn't need an adaptor. There are some adapters in the box for other faucet types.
