No, a hose repair is hose to hose.

Contrast that with what you often put on the end of a hose: a hose to
female.

Guess I don't understand the question.

I can't change the fitting on the end of the hose because it's a fancy

Do you really *need* one or just want one? Most folk seem to manage

Wouldn't a "screw tap to male" and one of http://goo.gl/oqZj3 screwed

I have explained why I can't change the polarity at the hose end, but I

Currently what's wrong is they want £4 p&p on top of the inflated £4.70

'compatible' one in the shops it would be about £1.50 all up.

Don't buy Hozelock then. Just use any compatible female connector, throw
away the screw collar that's normally used to secure it to the cut hose end
and then grind/file the exposed end flat so that it will form a seal
against the washer in the end of your flat hose screw connector.

Pretty sure it's the same thread and I've done this myself in the past.

Well, we have a "result" as the football commentators say.

The neighbour's attempt failed (as I suspected it might), and while I
was in town today I looked around the hardware stall in the weekly
market, and found they had a bucket of "we don't know what these are
because the blister pack has gone missing" hose widgets.

Their still-in-blister-pack hose widgets are only £1 each (for a wide
variety of sex changes), but he was delighted to sell me the one I
recognised as the one I needed, in his oddments bucket, for 20p. I think
he was almost going to give it me for free.

Installed on a different neighbour's flat hose; and great delight all
round. A two-widget solution rather than the three-widget I'd resigned
to, or the four-widget that was the most 'obvious'.

Nothing that a bit (or a lot) of PTFE tape couldn't fill though. ;-)

Quite happy to be packing it out if required, but the size mismatch is
that the male thread is *larger* than the female one. (Brings tears to
the eyes, I'm told).

Having had two different people try this and fail, I'm pretty sure they
aren't. That is, trying to turn the outside tap into a female Hozelock.
I already had the part which would turn the hoze into a male Hozelock,
so didn't expect (and couldn't see) a hose-female.

And the plastic thread is bigger, so PTFE tape would just make it worse.

Nope, well don't think it does (I am not the OP so don't know the

More often than not in my experience, if you can't find the right connector
to do what you want it's because you're doing it wrong. ;-)

A bit of "polarity reversal" usually sorts out most connector problems.

It is quite frequent to want male -to-male or female-to female as
manufacturers have different ideas on how their tool should terminate.

male-to-male exists .... female-to-female always ends up 2 fittings on a

Just remember to use the hose the right way round!
Alternatively, does this not do what the OP wants?

Nope, well don't think it does (I am not the OP so don't know the
specifics) . That connects hose to hose it does not
connect to a sprayer(or indeed an accessory of any type).

That does not accept plugs of any type it screws down over hose ends.

OK, I agree. Perhaps the hose should have a female connector, and be
used with a double male if it needs to connect to a female

All I can see is male to male connectors.
Every hose I have seen actually ends in a female connector .
Any future in actually cutting off the end you have now and making
good with a female connector hose end.

It only needs to connect to a male though.
It should only need a hose to female connector (as per my above).
I can't see how the OP has a hose which ends in a male connector.

when this type of fitting first appeared, hoses had a male end - just like
a tap. Then suddenely hoses had female ends.

That must have been a while ago. Have only ever seen hoses with female
fitting ends but then have only had a garden for eighteen years.
Surely a hose at that age will need replaced .

At the very least lose the end of the hose, and put on a fitting to
turn the end of the hose to female. All(?) the accessories sold
nowadays assume the hose will be fitted with a female end.

Possibly for use as an extension which connects to a tap and then goes
to a normal double female hose!
