I picked this up as the sink is quite far from my tank and not supposed to lift heavy stuff with a hernia...., and yet it doesn’t fit the kitchen or bathroom faucets.

Mentioned to a friend, who said it didn’t fit their faucets either.

That’s 4 random faucets in 2 homes it doesn’t fit.
Is it just us?

I really wanted this to work, any ideas to make this happen? Parts to buy etc?

I have the Python, so I'm not sure if it's the same but should be similar...The Python primary attachment fits a garden hose. So you need something like this to hook onto a normal faucet, by removing the aerator.

I just picked up a top fin too.
Mine fits the bathroom faucet with the aerator as kivyee said.

Thank you I do believe that will work. Thanks will try.

This part just arrived, maybe they sent me the wrong part but my water changer came with this exact adapter within the box, afraid it doesn't fit my sinks.

Maybe I need a new sink

Do your faucets have that little piece on the end that can be unscrewed? If so, you can find an adapter, probably at Home Depot or Canadian Tire. (Edit: Sorry, I just noticed you already have the part.) Take a look at this thread. It may have something useful. I highly recommend the quick snap connectors.

I ended up with this piece.
Mates up with my bathroom facet, once the siphoning starts I rig it up to drain into the tub drain, right down the drain.

J&L has that piece for $7.20. If you only want to start a siphon, consider this:

Yup.
They were backordered when I got mine.
