Attaching wort chiller to tap

banjopaul

I have this wort chiller and have yet to use it: http://www.homebrewwest.ie/stainless-steel-immersion-wort-chiller-12mm-diameter-3921-p.asp

What tubing and connections do I need to get to use this? Also how do I connect it to a tap? I haven't got access to an outdoor tap with hose type fittings, just a kitchen sink.

Having gone back reading the description it recommends jubilee clips, I'm assuming with a hose pipe. So connecting it to the tap is the only issue.

If you're using an existing garden hose hooked up to a tap just run the hose to whereevr you're chilling. if you're using a kitchen tap you may need an adapter - Round mixer tap or Square mixer tap connectors will be your best bet. Any decent B&Q/Woodies/Homebase or garden centre should stock them

I got one of these for €6 from the DIY store, think woodies charge €11.

I just got some Jubilee clips in woodies.
I had to wrap some masking tape around the ends of the wort chiller for it to get a good seal but its grand.
Been using it for months now.

Ended up getting this adapter in Woodies Glasnevin for just under €10.
