Cannot figure out right fitting for gravity shop sink. Help

I have an old bathroom vanity/countertop/sink, I need a sink in my detached garage for light washing up and rinsing. I am also getting a rain barrel that will sit outside the garage. Idea is to split the hose coming out of the rain barrel. One side goes off and is used for garden stuff, the other side comes into the shop and just gravity feeds water to that sink, and I’ll set a 5 gallon bucket under the drain for the grey water. Ok cool, seems like an easy plan, but for the life of me I cannot seem to find any adapter that will turn the garden hose sized spigot in the side of the rain barrel into the correct size to attach at water supply to the old bathroom sink. Surely I’m not the first person to think of this, there must be a way? But I’m having a hard time figuring it out. Thanks. submitted by /u/Jimithyashford [link] [comments]
