Just moved into a new place and I cannot get anything to fit the outdoor spigot.
I tried multiple regular garden hoses from Home Depot and Lowe’s, and none of them would thread on. I also tried a 3/4" female NPT x 3/4" male GHT adapter, and that didn’t fit either.
I took caliper measurements on the spigot and got:
- outside diameter of the threaded part: about 26.22 mm
- distance from the 1st thread bump to the 6th bump: about 6 mm
So now I’m confused because it seems like it doesn’t match what I expected for a normal hose connection.
Photos attached.
What is wrong with this spigot?
Is it damaged, missing a part, some weird nonstandard size, or am I just misunderstanding what I’m measuring / trying to connect?
