Plumbing question...
What are those things called that are screwed onto a water pipe to puncture it in order that you can plumb a washing machine in without needing to cut & solder pipes etc?
Also, would a standard Hozelock threaded adaptor fit on the end that you would normally put the washing machine hose on, or do hoses use different types of threads?
I need to be able to run a garden hose from the pipe, instead of a washing machine lol.
Hope that makes sense.
Thank you.

I've used one myself. Just make sure you insulate it well and drain it when winter comes.
I was doing some work in the kitchen and needed to remove the washer...when I replaced the washed and re-connected the hot water one it wouldnt allow any water through. The tape turned as normal but no water...I had to drain the system and remove it. I did both of them whilst I was at it.
Make sure you get one that doesn't use a reduced size pipe, should be 15mm all the way.
It's for filling a 100L water barrel for doing water changes on my fish tanks. It won't be used outside.
OK, I forgot to drain mine and the external pipe froze and burst:)
