Are the hook-up hoses metric? I tried a standard washing machine 1/2 inch water supply and it doesn't fit.

I had the same problem. I don,t think things were metric but I used plumbers tape and tightened the connection as best I could. 18 months later it still works and no leaks.

no, not metric. from my review."The unit comes with two elbow's that you can supposedly screw into standard 1/2" brass fittings. It just didn't work for me, I went out and got two new elbow's and everything fit much easier.".take the connecting piece they gave you to a tru-value. a plumbing store was lost on it.

Anthony, I can't answer that because I had a plumber hook it up. he did not mention any problem to that affect. Unfortunately, he lost the documentation and after many tries and almost 2 years, I have yet to get a copy. Maybe you can help me by sending me a copy? the temp gauge quit and I have no idea on how to change/fix it or what the warranty is because I have no documentation.Mitch

They sit inside the end fitting of the hose, and all of the hoses have the same sized end fittings so that they will work with the typical standard residential water faucet that comes out of the exterior house wall. So a 1/2" hose has the same size end fitting as a 3/4" hose. So you should be able to use it with any size residential hose.

This is like a standard washer hose. I not sure why it would not work unless the length is a problem . Longer lengths are available though.

I sure wish I has the chance to know. Best thing to do is check the measurements - all this is, is a hose.

I havent actually took the fitting out but im sure the one on the handle is a standard 1/4" npt fitting so im sure a standard 1/4" hose will work on it. The quick couplings on the hose it comes with are not standard tho.

It is not the hoses that are the problem. It is the diameter of the base. It did not fit into the standard opening of the pedestal sink, in my case. The hoses included would have worked.

I do not know this is the one I had to return becasue it did not fit my machine. I would think the hose that comes with your machine.

Can use in 24" sink. Cannot connect to a washing machine. The connection in made with 1/2" male connection also called a 1/2" nipple.

My hose is 1/2" and it fit great. I think the connections are the same on all hoses.

in short- yes, the connectors are 3/8" push-in hose and so you are making some serious drops in water flow from 1/2" line. I placed this in my RV and gave it a small dedicated faucet of it's own which works really nice. This basically extends the life of the filter to serious drinking/coffee, but allows my std faucet to handle the cleaning chores. I highly recommend a separate faucet even though they say it can be used with exiting faucet. If you have a sprayer on your current faucet you will be very hard pressed to get it to work with the lower water flow rate. I bought this faucet: http://www.amazon.com/Filter-Purifier-Faucet-European-Brushed/dp/B000KBD2KY/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1381002634&sr=1-3-fkmr0&keywords=purified+water+faucet+stainless or something similar if you can. Because it quick connect fittings, this makes it easy to go from the filter to the 2nd faucet. If you need further info on setting this up- let me know

I took it to a pool store and they matched a hose. It is not here (another house/town) so I can't measure it. Intex is known to make their parts "proprietary"... you may need an Intex hose. Good luck

I have an electic one too and it didn't fit I think it's the nozzle that's used on bigger washers.

Yes the hose is a different size. However there is a reducer for your inlet valve. Yes it will work. It is smaller then the original. I had to put my basket on that bracket to be able to use my vaccuum bottle

No! Although a standard hose fits my laundry sink faucet, this product would not. I've never been able to use it.

I'm not really sure, but I think the hose sizes on these faucets are pretty universal. I still have the same hose and it's been working great. I say give it a try. HTH :)

Washing machine hose typically has larger fittings than standard sink supply lines; but if the fittings match your supply, sure.

I am not positive but I think they are all the same size? Just measure the hose, if it is 1 1/2 inch it should.
