Hose to Hydrant
Hi Folks,
I stuck a wall hydrant to an old wine barrel that I want to feed with a garden hose as a water supply away from the house.
I bought a 1/2 to 3/4 piece to adapt the hose to the hydrant, my oversight was that they are threaded differently. Any ideas on a quick way to hook this up?
I would appreciate any insight.

Beauty, I didn't know what NPT was and that it is different than Garden Hose Thread.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Yea, NPT which is used on most pipe fittings is a tapered. Garden hose threads are straight and rely on smooth mating surfaces and a gasket to form the seal.
