Hose adapter for my kitchen sink

First, sorry for posting in English. My Swedish skills are pretty horrible still...

I'm kind of new to homebrewing, but recently expanded my equipment by purchasing a wort chiller. My problem is - how do I connect it to my kitchen sink? Is anyone able to help me find the right size adapter to use?

Here's a picture of the existing aerator that is on my kitchen faucet - looks like 22mm, fine thread.

Clas Ohlson doesn't have anything like this. Is there a standard in Sweden? Everything I find online seems to be measured in inches, but I don't know if that's just US standards, or UK standards, or what.

The best thing I've found so far is this, but I can't find it in stock in town so I'm wondering if it's wrong: http://webshop.hozelock.se/sv/bevattnin … g-22mm-sb/

This might be a stupid question, but thanks for any advice. I live in a small apartment in Stockholm, and I don't have a standard garden hose that I can use.

Sv: Hose adapter for my kitchen sink

Most plumbing accessories are US/UK standard here, but I believe what you're looking for is a thread called M22, indicating a metric thread. You should be able to find it in K-Rauta, Jula, Biltema, Bauhaus, Hjem & Fix and other places like that.

Item number 87221 for example will make your faucet a regular 1/2" thread instead

Relax, don't worry... Have a homebrew!

Thank you very very much - M22 was the key. I hit Bauhaus after work yesterday and in their lawn care/garden hose section, they had a metal M22 to 3/4" adapter, and a 3/4" to hose adapter so I picked up both for 100kr and was done with it.

So my adapter cost a bit over twice the one you linked there (70kr for my adapter alone), but at least I can move on with my life! Time to brew some beer!

Thanks again for your help. I'm really happy to have this taken care of.
