What should I do if none of the Faucet Filter adaptors fit?

Last updated on Jan 27, 2026

Faucet aerators vary a lot, so it’s common for the right adaptor to take a little trial and error. Filterbaby Skincare Faucet Filter adaptors fit up to 99% of bathroom faucets with a round aerator tip.

Start by looking at the threads on your aerator:

Threads on the inside

Use the female adaptors (threads on the inside). Try each one until it screws on evenly 4–5 full turns. Before installing, make sure a silicone ring is seated at the top of the adaptor.

Threads on the outside

Use the male adaptors (threads on the outside). Try each one until it screws on evenly 4–5 full turns. Check that a silicone ring (black or clear) is in place before installing.

Threads on both the inside and outside

This is usually a universal aerator. Match the adaptor to your faucet threads:

  • Faucet threads on the outside → use female adaptors

  • Faucet threads on the inside → use male adaptors

Still can’t find a fit?

We likely have a custom adaptor for your faucet. Email help@filterbaby.com with a clear photo of the underside of your faucet (aerator removed), and we’ll help match the correct adaptor or send you a FREE custom adaptor.*
