You are using PTFE tape on the threads I assume? I had one of those taps and it cracked at the elbow when I was tightening it to the tank thread. I now use a plastic elbow on the tank from Gardiners and an inline tap 6" further down just before the pump.

1/2" bsp male to 1/2" hose barb.

PF say the fitting is for their 1/2" hose.

Pirtek behind B&Q in Portrack Lane will probably carry those.

The black fitting is a 1"bsp male to 1/2" bsp female reducer.
