Overview

The Holman 12mm Brass Universal Tap Adaptor connects a garden hose to a standard Australian garden tap. A threaded reducing bush inside the adaptor fits both 20mm, or 3/4 inch, and 25mm, or 1 inch, tap threads, so the one adaptor covers the two tap sizes you find on most homes and properties. The quick release snap on fitting holds the hose firmly on the other side.

Machined from brass, the adaptor resists corrosion and gives a solid, leak free connection to the tap. It replaces the plastic adaptors that can crack in the sun or strip when a hose is pulled hard, and it is a simple way to upgrade the tap end of an existing hose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which tap sizes does the adaptor fit?

The brass universal adaptor fits both 20mm (3/4 inch) and 25mm (1 inch) garden tap threads using the threaded reducing bush supplied. You screw the bush onto the tap thread, then clip the hose onto the quick release snap fitting. The one adaptor covers the two common Australian tap sizes.

Will it stop my tap from leaking?

Yes, in the sense that the brass body and the reducing bush make a solid seal on the tap thread. Brass does not crack or deform the way plastic can under heat and pressure, so the connection stays firm and leak free over time. Check that the existing tap washer is in good condition for the best seal.

Does the snap fitting hold a standard hose?

Yes. The other end of the adaptor is a 12mm quick release snap on fitting that holds a standard 12mm hose connector. Most hoses in the store range use this fitting, including the multi purpose hoses with the 12mm connector already fitted.
