I have an expensive European faucet that I recxeived as a gift and would

two adapters produced out of brass or other compatable plumbing material.

I know the easiest solution is to by a Moen or Delta, but my wife.....

Hey everyone. I just found the solution to my Italian (EU) faucet to American waterline connection problem. After ordering a few different adapters off of amazon my wife (who bought the faucet) found a local hydraulic hose company that sells British to US adapters. I took my EU fitting to them and voila, I finally connected my faucet without any problems. The guy I worked with, Mike Ortega, was great so want to get this out to the public.
My faucet required the 3/8" BSPP (British Standard Pipe Parallel) to 1/2" NPT, both male ended adapter. It's part # 9007-06-08 on their website.
