I bought a great gizmo in the USA its a tiny fitting that turns your hosepipe into a jet wash. It cleaned up my friends driveway of years of dirt in a jiffy. So I bought one, only problem is it wont fit on a British hosepipe 🙁

Is there anyway I can connect it to our size hosepipe do you know?

I have bought a few jet attachments to see if they are as good and they just dont have the power of this little attachment.

It says in Wiki that the American faucet standard thread outside diameter is 1 1/16" and this standard is called GHT or Garden Hose Thread. Here in Blighty our standard outside tap thread dia is 3/4" BSP or British Standard Pipe. The two threads are not compatible.

Hope someone can help me with this. 🙂
 
Get a female ght to hose spigot

Sorry to be a pain but can you point me in the right direction to get one?
Would I be able to get one on Ebay or Amazon? I posted what you said into Google ,Ebay and Amazon and so many different things came up.

I know nothing about things like this so would be great if you could supply a link.

Thank you
 
Photo? Details?Make and model?

It was just something I picked up from home depot in the USA. It just fits on the end of a hosepipe it doesn't have a name or make. It doers not fit on a UK hosepipe as they are different sizes and I just wanted a attachment that would allow me to fit it to a UK hose.

This is something like it only I also have the bit that this screws onto.
Oh the site wont let me post a link.. sorry

Will this do?


Im not sure. Does that go on the tap or the other end of the hose as I need something for the other end of the hose not the tap end.. If you see what I mean.. If I went a bought a rose gun for my hose I could just clip it into the end connector .. the end connector is the part im looking for.
Sorry Im being most unhelpful
