Bit of an odd question but relates to plumbing fittings so I'm guessing this is the right forum...
I need to connect a hose (e.g. washing machine outlet hose) to the back (i.e. threaded end) of an overflow tank connector like the one in this link.

I know a hoselock 3/4" tap connector will screw on to the end of this but there are 2 problems with this:
1) I do not want to use a hoselock female connector as they tend to drip a bit (this will be indoors)
2) the bore inside the hoselock connector is too small - ideally I want to use something with an internal diameter of c. <19mm
Can anyone suggest a suitable fitting that will give a good seal and allow the connection of flexible hose?
This is for an overflow from my main aquarium into the sum tank in the cabinet below.
