Default Looking for hose connector for mixer tap

This is the tap

https://user.fm/files/v2-1a9c9dcfb60...750.SMALL.jpeg

Diameter of metal bit is about 28mm

All the ones I have seen are smaller and the ones that clamp on need the tap's neck to be at right angles to the outlet

Clamp on hose connectors are an abomination just waiting to flood your
house. ;-)

If theres an aerator or flow laminator (okay, thats not the word but the
thing that gives you a nice stream of water) that unscrews from the end of
your tap, you may be able to screw in a fitting that you can then connect
to a hose lock style connector.

Make the extra bit of effort and add an outside tap. It's amazing how
useful having one can be.

Not if you have been asked to jet wash someone else's decking!

Taps like that are prone to leaking at the joint at the base of the
spout. You are going to put that under some pressure (if you can find a
connector!) and possibly pull on the spout with the hose. So, when it
leaks at some point in the future, the householder should know whom to
blame.

Can you at least find a tap with a fixed spout to connect to?

On thinking about it I think the easiest way would be to fill the bath with water and stick the hose in that!

Is the washing machine or dishwasher moveable? If so, you've got access
to a threaded tap connection there.

dont bother. Get one of those special deck scrubbing brushes
and use some elbow grease with added bleach and Lidl
biological washing liquid.

Can't tell because the tap is out of focus. Nice dishcloths though.

And the note stuck on the window reminding the residents to
wash up.

If the nozzle unscrews, what sort of thread is it ?.

I put the hose in the bath and out of the window. Bit of a pain but it worked.
