I have a hosepipe. I have a tap in my garden.
Tap is like this: but it is NOT threaded
http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/251749/2/istockphoto_251749_garden_tap.jpg
Therefore I bought one of these to attach to the tap. It fits the tap
perfectly
http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.jsp?action=detai ...
I then attached one of these to the hose tap end
http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servle ...
When I connect them 2 bits together they fit together but water leaks out
between them... am i I doing it right?
I spose even if I had a threaded tap I would use one of these connectors,
but I would still get a leak because they conenct in the same way??

On the other end of the hose I have another one of the things above attached
to one end of the hose and a spray gun (both of those are the cheap Homebase
ones and work fine).

As your links dont work for me, I am adding this one to show the type
of conector you need for an unthreaded tap.
http://www.toolspot.co.uk/product/jubilee-type-tap-connector
This type worked for years for me with very little trouble, just dont
turn the tap on to full as the back pressure WILL blow the hose off
the tap.

I have one of those connected to the tap
As it suggest I have a /quick connector' on tn the other end of the tap -
that is where the peak is - where the 2 join together
I will try what it suggests in that article, connecting the actual pipe to
the end of one of those and securing with a clip

Sometimes i think the best solution would be to replace the tap with a
threaded one!
I had an unthreaded tap in the garage that also serves the front garden, it
was a pain until i finally replaced it, whih isnt a major exercise.

Not all fittings of different makes are compatible with each
other,best to use the same make.
