How big does a tap hose need to be?
The hose is a Hozelock with the normal quick connector and standard 3/4″ connector which can also be adapted to 1/2″. My tap says it is 3/4″ BSP on the side but neither of the connectors fit! The tap measures 30mm which doesn’t seem to be a standard size. The tap also has a hose union on it but this is far too big to connect to the hose.
What should I do if my tap hose won’t connect?
If the 3/4″ tap adaptor REALLY doesn’t fit – if the threaded end is REALLY around 30mm diameter – so clearly neither 3/4″ BSP (26.5mm) or 1″ BSP (33mm) – then it looks as tho’ the best solution would be to replace the tap. In which case the water-fixing end would need to be 3/4″ BSP to screw on to that wall plate!
How big of a compression fitting do I need for an OD pipe?
Compression fittings are sized according to that outside diameter: a 1/2″ OD pipe would require a 1/2″ compression fitting. A sleeve (“ferrule”) is placed over the pipe (use a plastic sleeve for plastic tubing), which is placed inside the fitting.
Can a hoselock tap connect to an outdoor tap?
If so, visit them and explain what you have – an outdoor tap stamped 3/4″ BSP but with a threaded end that WON’T take a 3/4″ Hoselock tap connector or a 1″ one! Try once more with both the 3/4″ chrome fitting and the orange one (with inserts removed).

What kind of fitting does a garden hose use?

Are there NPSM threads on garden hose fittings?

Which is better metal or plastic hose fittings?
Metal hose fittings have better durability than plastic barbed hose fittings. Made of polypropylene, these fittings are lighter in weight than metal barbed hose fittings. Low- profile barbs and a longer first barb allow for a smoother, easier installation than other barbed fittings. Slide the barbed end into hose and secure with a clamp.
