When travelling in Europe, a few campsites which have fully serviced
pitches, use an strange connector for the water. Generally you can
borrow one which adapts to the standard thread etc. but I'm always a bit
concerned one isn't available etc.

The fixed end (female) is a hole, may be 8 mm in dia. There is sometimes
a button to release the male part, which looks very like a PCL connector
(as used in air compressors etc).

Sometimes the PCL part is connected to a short hose and perhaps a
'hoselock' style connector, others an inline tap like you see for a
washing machine, .....

Unfortunately, I've never measured one on site- no least as I don't
carry calipers etc. on holiday.

Has anyone seen such a thing in the UK and know the name/make, please?

Remarkable Coincidences:
The Stock Market Crashes of 1929 and 2008 happened on the same
date in October. In Oct 1907, a run on the Knickerbocker Trust
Company led to the Great Depression.

Might be worth asking on the forums on the ukcampsite website?

I think this is just one of those continental oddities and not
worth buying your own connector. Its clearly been done by the
site owners to restrict access.

From the sound of things it probably *is* a compressed air fitting.
