I just put in a outdoor shower, for ease of winterization I used two frost free sillcocks for the water to the outside. Then I was going to simply use washing machine SS hoses to connect to the outside copper plumbing I ran .
So, I went to hook up the hose and I can't get a tight connection on the 1/2 in sweat to 3/4 male thread? Why would the hose not connect to it?
I finally just doubled up the washers, thru some teflon on it to at least use it tonight, but would like to fix it. Should I use a water heater hoses or basically why doesnt washing machine hose thread on a 3/4 male? Did i just use the wrong fitting, is there different threads on copper fittings?
thanks!
