Does anyone know where I can get a number of Hozelock type male
push-fit to compression hose connectors?

I want a hose with a male push-fit connector on the end, without using
a male-male adaptor.

Many years ago their original system had connectors this way round,
then they changed to the reverse system. They no longer make them.

CK brass fittings include a 1/2" hose to male connector for luddites.

It was an afterthought, sorry.

Should have said, must be plastic.

Screwfix show a male/male so you could use a female to hose and one of them.

As per my original post, I don't want to use a male-male, the wrong
end always disconnects and covers me in water!

Where is this Google 'beta' rulebook on how to post properly by

OK, no luck.

How about a hose repair connector that has 3/4" BSP threads? Hozelock
hosepipe connectors are slightly larger and finer.

I'm not quite sure what you want to achieve. Do you want a piece of flexible
garden hose with a male connector (the sort with an O-ring) on the end
rather than the usual female. If so, I'm sure you can get male connectors,
but they're not as common as female connectors. You can *certainly* get
double-ended male adaptors. So if you stick one end into a female connector
you will have achieved the desired effect - if that *is* what you want!

I had heard that they were ceasing (had already ceased ?) production of the
hose male fittings, which to me seems a bit inappropriate..... unless
someone can explain ?

AFAICS that's what he wants. One of these (which I find perfectly
satisfactory)...

.... but for some unknown reason it has to be plastic.

My best offer would be a male-male adapter like this...

.... with one end stuffed into the hose (it fits surprisingly well)
secured with a nylon cable tie.
