Fitting for water tap?

Postby John51 » Mon Dec 03, 2012 12:47 pm

afaik, the T500 comes with a fitting that goes in the kitchen tap after you unscrew the 'spray head' gizmo that comes with modern taps.

Any ideas where I can get one? Even knowing the proper name for it would help my search.

Its a needle valve, one end has a threaded fitting the other has a 1/4" hose barb for the inlet hose.

Thanks for that Cap'n. Lovebrewing has them for £9. I've just ordered a £3 plastic 24mm/20mm adapter that might be bodgable but nice to know that there is an alternative even if I don't need the needle valve part of it.
