I currently have a hose pipe adaptor screw on. It just makes it a little awkward when I fit the hose. I would prefer it to face downwards or sideways instead of up. I am aware of self cutting taps I could use, but think it might restrict flow & is expensive. I'm also aware I could fit an outside tap, but that also isn't what I want to do.

Is there any reason why you could not loosen the fitting and re-fit it facing down? This is what a professional would do, which is why there are probably no fittings of the type you require on the market.

This thread is looking like developing into a good laugh.

thanks for your replies.

the pipe is in the kitchen and faces up as it would be used for a washing machine etc. I have hose pipe attachment on it. When I take the hose on and off, I quite often end up with water in the cupboard which I want to avoid.

These images hopefully will enlighten you.

AHH with you now!
Looks like a compression nut underneath the washing machine valve so if you first turn the water off then undo that then grab a couple of 15mm compression elbows and a bit of pipe then make yourself a "U" shape so that is points downwards. Quickist way and simples:)
