Faucet Adaptor

Hey Guys,

Does anyone know what type of adaptor I would need for the following situation: I am trying to attach a hand-held shower to a service faucet with a 3/4" hose thread on spout. (FIAT product #830-AA).

Is there such a thing as a female to male adaptor for this, and if so, what size would I need?

Thank you,
Al

Re: Faucet Adaptor

What is this for? Why do you need to make this connection? Attaching a handheld shower head to a service sink without a vacuum breaker/backflow protection is against code.

Apparently the model faucet does have a vacuum breaker in it. I'm guessing he wants the hand held shower head on it for cleaning pots in a restaurant or maybe even using it for washing dogs or something for grooming.
