I've fitted a couple of 3/4" BIB taps but the thread on the outlet seems
to be 7/8" BSP and I can't find an adaptor to a more sensible size such
as 1/2", 3/4" or 1". Any suggestions on where to find an adapter?


Hosepipe set?

istr just the adaptors eg hozelock on eBay /Amazon.

AFAICS they are only for 1/2", 3/4" and 1"
I forgot to add ... there's an expensive 7/8 adapter for Hoselock
(Atoni) but I would prefer to adapt to a standard thread.


How do you know you've measured it correctly?

Errr, I don't. However, as a semi-retired graduate engineer with
appropriate measuring equipment, I have reasonable confidence ;-)


Mmm then shurely you will also note how spooky it is that no one
else has left a "trail of crumbs" for this exact
occurrence.....


I assume you know it's rather hard to prove a negative such as "no one
else has left a "trail of crumbs" for this exact occurrence....."

OTOH such statements only require one counterfactual so how about Fred
in 2010?

Or the fact that 7/8 fittings are sold - eg:
