1/2" BSP if I remember correctly. Hoselock tap connectors fit perfectly if you use the reducing shim supplied in the pack (I'd recommend a brass one on the hot side!)

thanks Nathanael Jones

you say 1/2" but the inlet and the out let are different size by the look of them i could be wrong so its the yellow hose lock with the white insert i think...

i just got mine a week ago - i just took it down plumbers and they fitted a brass fitting on the hot , the cold one come in the kit . mines now rigged up with two hoselock's

must admit ive yet to get it working propleyin the van on the pure as i find it needs the pump on full , not keen on that as i think ill eat water ..

BUT --- I hooked it up to a garden tap today to use it on a big UVPC -- wow i steamed round it so quick , the alge just melted off - so i think it will be a upvc tool for me .
i found it dosn't like wind !! so once i found a non windy part of the house it worked great .
