Connector for outside tap

[LordFrederickIII]

Hi,

I've got an old tap in the garden and none of the Hozelock connectors will fit. Does anyone know of adapters I can purchase?

Here's a pic of the tap:

Its getting on a bit, that one.....however, it could well be screwed into a wall plate elbow (can't see) - in which case a new tap could be fixed in its place.
However, you could try softening a short length of hose pipe in boiling water and forcing it over the spout, fixing it with a jubilee clip.
Hozelock connectors could then be fixed to the other end of the hose.

The end of the tap is threaded so won't any of the brass threaded BSP connectors fit? They come in all sizes - 1/2", 5.8", 3/4", 1" - if you measure the tap you should be able to get one to fit. This kind of thing but in the correct size.

Many thanks for the replies.

I went out to measure and the tap size seems to be 22mm. Is that a 1" BSP connector?

If not, I'll just replace the tap.

I would think it's more likely 3/4".

B&Q Wilkinsons etc, about £1. They fit two sizes as the top screw bit comes off and the next part fits a tap of your size. I've just bought one.

They've got them in Sainbury's for £1 too.

This is the shape of the attachment you need, metal and plastic in the shops. Plastic £1
