Thanks for the reply.
I had a look, seems like they come in different sizes so mine is female, i have tried to use the measuring tape to get the diameter seems like its between 22-25mm, is there a away to accurately measure the diameter or if they comes with standard sizes.0 -
Any chance you know the make of your tap?0

The way to measure accurately is to use a calliper, but the standard sizes seem to be 18, 20, 22, 24 (outside diameter of the male thread) - and this sort of accuracy is achievable with a measuring tape or a ruler.Rock_007 said:Thanks for the reply.

Take it into a decent plumbers merchant and they'll probably have ones the right size to sell you.
