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 |

It's amazing how useful having one can be. |

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!

Nice dishcloths though. Bill |

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