This is probably and easy one, but I'm having a hard time finding what I need at the big box stores.

The previous owners of the new house took the washer and dryer with them, which was fine and expected. Each valve coming out of the wall has two outlets on it, because there is a slop sink in the laundry room. One set of outlets supplies the washer, the other is supposed to supple the slop sink.

Because of this, I bought two sets of supply hoses. One will go to the washer - no problem there. The other goes to the sink, and that's the rub.

These are the exact hoses I got: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-5-ft-Red-and-Blue-Fill-Hose-HRBFIL03EB/206578701

The problem is, when I try to connect them to the faucet on the slop sink, they shoot water out where the hose enters the fitting, even when I really tighten them down. I'm assuming the 3/4" threaded hookup on the sink is not the same type that is needed for the supply hose and it's not compressing things enough inside the fitting. Does anyone know what kind of adaptor I'd be looking for?

I'm ASSuming I need something like this: http://www.lowes.com/pd/BrassCraft-3-4-in-x-3-4-in-Threaded-Male-Hose-x-FIP-Adapter-Fitting/50380942

But I honestly don't know what I'm looking at. Anyone have any idea/

The fitting is different, go to the plumbing aisle and look for all the short connectors for toilets and sinks. They don't make a connector more than about 30" long

Yes you need an iron pipe thread to hose thread adapter, or just the correct supply lines. 3/4" iron pipe will thread into a hose but not seal at all.

The adapter you linked to is exactly what you need.
