Got a hose and pressure washer, however having difficulty getting any secure
connection to the tap. Have bought a few 'universal' attatchements, which
are somewhat un-universal.

I am not sure what is wrong with our taps. A new build house (persimmon
homes), a combined tap for hot and cold water, it seems to be a bit wider
then normal.

As soon as any back pressure comes on, the fitting falls off!!!

Does anyone know where i can get a truly universal connector??

thanks

I don't suppose there is anything wrong with the taps, nor the fittings,
it's the nature of things that there will be some limits to 'universal'
really.

Other than trying all those that you can find I don't think you'll find
such a beast. The Hozelock one I had fitted all the taps
I ever used it on, but I do remember it being a bit 'flakey' on some.

I'd just fit an outside tap and stop faffing about and wasting my time
and money

We seem to be the tap thread boys around here! Hozelock do a universal
adaptor as you say, but it has limits.

Yup! You can pick them up for about £10 complete with self cutting fittings
and flexible pipes.

Even easier, if you don't want to drill a hole in the wall, get a self
cutting washing machine fitting http://tinyurl.com/cun8v and fit it to a
pipe under the sink. They have 3/4" BSP threads so a Hozelock will screw
straight on.

Fit an outside tap. These have threaded spouts that will take a hozelock
style connector.
