It could be the thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany caravans, RVs and boats in Australia are fitted with American-style water inlets using \u003cstrong\u003e¾\" GHT (Garden Hose Thread) or compatible US-style threads\u003c\/strong\u003e, rather than the BSP threads commonly found on Australian plumbing and hose fittings. Because the threads can look very similar, it's easy to mistakenly connect a ¾\" BSP fitting only to discover it doesn't seal correctly under pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Flat Out US Thread to BSP Water Inlet Adaptor provides the correct transition for compatible American-style water inlets, allowing you to connect your Australian-style hose fittings without trying to force mismatched threads together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts brass swivel elbow also directs the hose connection downwards instead of having it protrude straight out from the side of your van.
