What tap/hose attachment should I get

earlycomputers · Apr 10, 2020

Hi - just wondered if anyone knows a product that can attach a hose tube that’s 1/4 inch wide to a standard Hozelock hosepipe nozzle; OR something I can fit over or under my tap which has a diameter of 22-23mm which could attach to this tube? Or something that can join up my 22-23mm diameter tap with a screw (female) tap/hose connector which has a diameter of 30mm (and is hence too wide)? Many thanks

Is the tube you are using a standard garden hose and are you trying to attach it to an outside tap? The reason I say standard garden hose is because whilst you did say the size of the hose, there is often confusion surrounding measuring pipes, like inside or outside diameter and the measurements of threads on tap spouts. I'm not saying you've got it wrong just that it would be helpful to know exactly what hose and to what kind of tap you want to connect to.

Can you provide a picture of the hose and tap please?

If it's 1/4 inch irrigation hose check the hose for manufacturers mark and they'll have something suitable. Fyi most hose taps have a "3/4 male" thread, a "3/4 tap connector" will get you off that and onto other dimensions if needed. If youre using blue "water cooler" 1/4 inch then one of these will get you from 3/4 hose tap to 1/4
