We have a water filter similar to
https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/water...ousing/7382716, although ours
is made by Blanco according to the paper label stuck on it.

The threaded adaptor between 10 mm plastic pipe (Push Fit) and the female
thread on the filter housing has sheared off so we need a replacement.

But I'm struggling to identify the adaptor so I can order one online (since
I can't really break lockdown). The threaded end is 1/2" or 12 mm outside
diameter - between the read lines in
https://i.postimg.cc/C1qLM8tG/20210127-174511s.jpg. The inside diameter of
the threaded part is 9/16" (I know imperial for some godforsaken reason
quotes inside diameters!) The threaded part should be inline with the black
hex nut of the adaptor - as you can see it's sheared off and I've laid it
alongside.

As far as I can tell, it needs a male thread - it doesn't seem to be a
female thread with a separate male-male adaptor (half of which is stuck
inside the nut).

I can find lots of references to 3/8" screw thread, but that seems too small
to match the 1/2" (4/8") or 12 mm thread.




There was a slow weep from the filter which seemed to be coming from the
inlet port. So I tightened it about 1/4 turn and the thing sheared off. I
wonder whether it had already started to separate and I just finished it
off.

Bad luck . . .

1/4" bsp is 12.3mm o/d so that seems likely and seems common on water
filters.

Search for 1/4 Bsp male to 10mm Push fit gets lots of plastic crap plus
some metal options eg:
