How do I connect a US water filter to an Irish kitchen tap?
Thrasymachus asked:
My wife and I moved from the US to Ireland. Just before we came, my wife bought a water filter to use over here in Ireland. It has several bits that allows it to be attached to different sized kitchen taps. (It’s the type of filter that sends water from the tap through the filter and out a separate spigot on the side.) But none of the connector bits fit into the kitchen tap we have here. I went to a plumbing supply place in Dublin and was told there was nothing that could connect the two because US and European standards for plumbing fixtures are different. Basically what I need is a doodad that screws onto my Irish kitchen type on one side and onto my US-made water filter on the other — and forms a leakproof seal. Any suggestions?
What is Graingers and how do I find it? It’s not coming up when I search in google.
