Missing tap part - what it is called?

Hi all, throwing myself on your mercy as I need your help please to identify a bit that is missing from my thermostatic bath shower mixer tap bought from ebay. This is the tap I have...
http://www.topbrandbathrooms.com/bristan-java-j-thbsmvo-c-bath-filler-with-thermostatic-shower-chrome-plated/p3318
I have printed off the fitting instructions and I know I need to fit a flow limiter to the shower (combi boiler) but if you look at the photo above you can see a threaded bit of pipe rising out of the tap just behind the shower temperature dial. On my tap, the tap is flat behind the dial and there is a thread going down inside a hole on the tap as if I need a small bit of pipe with two threads, one to screw down into the tap and one to protrude up to fit the shower. I have found the limiter available online for around £3 but I don`t know the name of the threaded bit to find and order it.
Please can anyone tell me what this is called?
Many thanks,
Slinky

Pipe on for bath fillers are 3/4" & the flow limiters are supposed to be fitted to the tap connectors

Ring Bristan & order themNot Again0 -
Thanks very much.I had already found that and printed it off but was confused that page 3 seems to refer to it as a 3/4 inch tap connector then on the page 6 diagram it is called a shower outlet hose connector.
I think the part I need is ref 00515124, just looking for a photo to be sure before I order.
Sorry for being so dim, I always feel silly when I have to ask a stupid question but so lucky that the folk here are so kind and helpful.
Cheers, :beer:

Slinky.
Tap connectors are from the pipework & joins onto the bottom of the taps.
The shower outlet connector will come from the tap to the shower.
Its 2 different places altogether.Not Again0 -
:o:o:o:o Thanks for explaining the difference. Ex hubby is doing the diy but not great with plumbing - my contribution is usually just making the tea and a big slap up thank you meal when all is done.
