    Can anyone help please? I've bought online a dual tap connector for my outside tap and it's the screw on one, however my tap is the old push on one and I've searched for an adaptor and don't really know what I'm looking for. I've also bought a new Hozelock hosepipe so I'd be grateful if anyone could give me a Hozelock number or a link to an adaptor that would suit. Thanks

    Check to see if the bottom push on part unscrews it should do

      I've been googling images and can't find a tap like mine, it's probably about 30 years old and the new hosepipe just slots on it, there are no threads on it at all and is probably half inch.
