What it does

A chrome plated brass adapter that threads onto a sink faucet in place of the aerator so a portable dishwasher or washer can snap on. This page covers it in place of the WHK dishwasher faucet adapter 2 pack, which had too little readable coverage.

Replaces the faucet aerator to give the dishwasher hose a snap on connection
Dual thread fits both common male and female aerator sizes
Brass body rather than plastic
Full water flow for a dishwasher fill
Installs by hand, no tools needed in most cases

A solid choice for hooking a portable dishwasher to a standard kitchen faucet, from a long standing plumbing parts brand, in brass rather than plastic. It only works on faucets with a removable, standard threaded aerator, and faucet makers warn against using it on pull out or pull down faucets.

Questions

Will a portable dishwasher adapter fit my faucet?

Remove the aerator and check the threads. Standard kitchen faucets use 15/16 inch 27 male or 55/64 inch 27 female, which this adapter covers.

Can I connect a portable dishwasher to a pull down faucet?

No. Delta says never to connect one to pull out or pull down faucets because pressure swings can rupture the hose.

Why is my dishwasher faucet adapter leaking?

The usual causes are a thread mismatch, a missing washer, or an aerator left in place. Check the thread type before buying.

Is the Danco adapter metal?

Yes. It is chrome plated brass.
