Thinking bigger is better I bought the 3/4 inch outside tap from
Toolstation. Item 32002. The 3/4 refers to the bsp thread size
conecting to the backplate.

I want to use hozelock type fittings but cannot work out how to connect
to the outlet which has a male thread.
A 3/4 inch hozelock connector is too small
A 1 inch hozelock conector is too big
It does not appear to be a bsp thread as the pitch is too fine.

I've never come across a tap that wasn't BSP. 14TPI.

Is there a standard for these tap threads I should know?

Outside taps with threaded spouts are usually 3/4" BSP (same as
appliance hose connectors).

I have, very rarely, come across 7/8" BSP tap threads. Tap connectors
do exist GIYF.
