Could a tap be made for Water Hose Threads ?


I think a water hose is close to a standard pipe thread, if you want to
try some pipe fittings to find out.

Close, but no cigar...look at a male/male NPT/GHT adapter and you can
easily see the difference. No fitty if try reversing ends...

I have a couple that have smaller threads on the faucet itself to
accommodate a backup protector thingy which has the hose thread on it. I
can't get the hose to match up directly to the faucet.
