The reason for all this is that I am trying to determine whether this:

is the same as this:

but without the flexible hose. Do both items have the same diameters and
threads?


Yes.

Well very nearly Derek. The flexible connector will be designed to fit on a
basin tap with the seal being made with a fibre washer (very likely to be
supplied in the pack) onto the annular end surface of the tap thread.
The 15mmx 1/2"female iron fitting will screw on a tapered male thread on a
pipe or other fitting and will be sealed by the thread jamming augmented by
PTFE tape or bosswhite &hemp.

Hope this helps
