quick question

[jnoden 15]

Does anyone know what size thread is the typical water hose? I need to buy bulk head fittings and such to hook a tank up to my washer and I cant seem to find the answer to this anywhere. Tractor supply online has .75 and 1.25 inch bulk head fittings. When I measured a garden hose coupling I got 1 inch id.

I think it is approximately 3/4", but it is not standard pipe thread. I would probably buy the .75 bulk head fitting, add a 3/4" ball valve and you can buy a water hose fitting to attach to the ball valve.

3/4 or 5/8 I think got to home depot grab a garden hose go to the plumbing section and try to match it up

I actually just hooked up my tank with bulkhead fittings so I will tell you how I did it 3/4" bulkhead fitting with 3/4" barbed fitting screwed into bulkhead fitting then 3/4" ID heater hose to pump works great if you need anymore help let me know.

It's called 3/4" GHT (Garden Hose Thread).

Fire equipment is SHT - Standard hose thread (no taper)

Plumbing is NPT (Nominal Pipe Taper) or FPT, MPT (Femal or Male Pipe Taper)

NPT means National Pipe Taper thread, vs nominal.
