Connecting to a "washing machine" inlet

A tap connector should be fine. The threads will be parallel, and
will need a washer to seal - as opposed to sealing on tapered

Tap connector it is, then!
Another thought: Tap connectors usually have a shoulder or spigot on which
the washer sits, and which is intended to go inside the tap tail. I have
somethines found with plastic fittings - particularly on toilet cisterns -
that the spigot *won't* go into the fitting, and needs to be filed back to
less than the thickness of the washer in order to get a seal.
