Everyone,

Need this piece to better perform water changes

I'm having a hard time locating a faucet adapter at Lowes. Ideally I would unscrew the aerator from the faucet and attach the threaded side to the faucet, then connect a 5/8 hose to the other end. The other end would be barbed. Does anyone happen to have a picture of something like that or know what's it's exactly called. I need that piece. Perhaps they sell that online

Thanks again for everyone's help

i had to get a 55/64" to 3/4" adapter.. from the FAUCET Section.. then you get some plumbers tape to wrap it around a few times.. the one i got was metal.. from homedepot

I have a couple of them. I got them at Lowes, but it's been several years ago. I put quick change adapters on them, so I can attach a garden hose...

I had to use two adapters too... forgot what sizes. Just take the aerator to HD or Lowes and ask someone that works in the plumbing section.
