I am having a hard time figuring out which adapter to get to hook my garden hose up to my pull down kitchen faucet. I included some photos, I would appreciate any help.

1Are you sure you haven't looked for an alternate location to connect the hose.? Why a garden hose inside the house? – RMDman Jul 15 '23 at 14:32

2You should not do this. The flexible line in the faucet was not designed to have a long hose connected to it. Also you would have to fit a checkvalve/anti-siphon fitting. – Jim Stewart Jul 15 '23 at 19:45

1Can you please expand on why you want to connect a garden hose to your kitchen tap ? This may be an XY problem. – Criggie Jul 15 '23 at 22:42

Issue is, you've probably got a proprietary thread on the faucet that isn't going to match anything in a typical plumbing aisle. Your best chance is to find a real plumbing store and visit with parts in hand. (Best case is that you have both sides of that connection, but I understand that it might be bothersome to uninstall the faucet.)
If you could order a replacement spray head from the manufacturer, that (and a lot of epoxy) could be built into an adapter.
Alternately, you could split the water supply after the shutoff under the sink and install a spigot down there. The merits of having an additional point of failure in a cabinet are debatable.

2A plumbing store should be able to match with just the female(just the end) threads. – crip659 Jul 15 '23 at 14:35
