Question:
I attached a small hose spray to my basement faucet. I attached hose with washer and adapter that fits or came with hose spray. When I turned on the water, water not only comes out of the sprayer but also water comes out at area of attachment. What can I do? Will adding another washer help?
Answer:
The faucet is probably 3/4″ hose fitting which is standard and not 3/4 iron pipe thread which is probably what you are trying to hook up, which is probably why it is leaking. The thread patterns are different from 3/4 pipe fittings to 3/4 hose fittings.
