Okay, long story but I'm getting a shower that will have a 1/2" NPT thread for the shower head connection (I believe this is only used in the states). I want to be able to use a UK shower hose with it (1/2" BSP thread used almost all over the world - why do Americans have to be different!!).
Now, from googling around I know that the two are very similar although not the same. I have however found a comment somewhere, whereby somebody says that they still attach but should not be used for a pressure critical application (such as gas use). The person claimed that for the purposes of a showerhead, as long as a rubber washer is used, it will still work fine.
Does anybody have any experience of this or know much about these threads?
Buying a UK shower is not an option as this is a special outdoor propane shower (thinking of a garden shower to rinse off chlorine after using pool or hot tub). The things are made by several companies and are quite cheap to purchase. They connect to a propane cylinder and garden hose and hey presto! Unfortunately though they only ever seem to be fitted with NPT threads!! I want to be able to use UK shower heads with it.
Any advice appreciated
