Where can I get this brass connector?

coylemj

Folks, I have an outside tap that's 20 years old, it has a 1" thread. The existing connector screwed on to the tap is ribbed and only good for a hose attachment with a jubilee clip, I want to replace it with a male hose connector attachment but most of these are for taps with a 3/4" thread or they are plastic, I want a brass connector so that I can leave it outdoors and forget about it.

I'm looking for the attachment that's screwed on to the tap in this photo but I need a 1" thread at the tap side. I have the hose connector that you see in the person's hand, it's the tap connector I need.

Can someone recommend a walk-in plumbing or garden supply shop in the Deansgrange/Blackrock/Cabinteely area please.

Thanks but that link is to a plastic connector, I'm looking for brass. There is a Karcher brass equivalent but I don't think I'm prepared to pay Karcher prices.

If your tap is that old you prob have a 3/4" tap instead of a 1/2" tap which is now the normal You might find it difficult to get can you connect 6 inches of hose to the tap and then just use a standard push fit connector on the hose... If you catch my drift.

Get a male to iron 1" to female 3/4" reducer fitting from any plumbers and screw the hose connector onto that.;) (Or get a new tap)

No, my tap has a 1" connection as in that's the diameter of the thread, the tap connectors in the shops seem to be all 3/4".

Its either standard 1/2" or old 3/4" the part you are measuring has no bearing. If you buy the brass adaptor in the picture(Plastic is what is commonly available) and it does not fit then you have the size up

Its really that simple.
