i would just use 1/2" high heat tubing and a fitting along with a faucet adapter. I've linked the three items below. Use the high temp because the other line seems to kink under heat and I got leaks. I have exactly what is listed below, just with a store bought chiller. http://www.midwestsupplies.com/homebrewi...g-per-foot.htmlhttp://www.midwestsupplies.com/homebrewi...h-1-2-barb.htmlhttp://www.midwestsupplies.com/faucet-adapter.html

that looks very nice!! you will need two of the hose connectors I linked to, one to go to the faucet adapter and one to go to your chiller. You also need a couple hose clamps.
washing machine hoses MIGHT work or you could always use an outside faucet and hose but it may be too cold for that right now in CT

wow, that came out nice, much neater than my ghetto homebuild.
the only criticism I have is that you used 90* connecters just before where you will hook up the hoses. generally you want those ends angled down incase something leaks somewhere. if angled down it wont drip/run into you freshly brewed wort. something to keep an eye on.
Good point Sean. I plan to pressure test it before use and make sure the joints are solid. Thanks for the reminder.
