I have sent an email to toolstation. We will see if they can help.

Toolstation did not know, but the supplier to Toolstation is Mueller
Primaflow who said it is a G 7/8 thread, which I undersatand to mean a
BSP thread. Looks like I cannot estimate thread pitch. I'll see if I
can find something to fit.

I am going to try G7/8 to Geka then Geka to Hozelock.
Simpler to have bought the smaller tap!

A bit grumpy now.
Having been told by the supplier it was a G7/8" thread, I ordered the
necessary parts and received them in the post today. However the G7/8
connection does not fit. It is the correct diameter and the thread
engages, turns a few degrees and locks up. As I first thought a few
days ago, the thread on the tap outlet is a finer pitch than the
standard BSP threads.
So not sure what to try next.
