Overview
Threaded Adapter for Small Tap from External Thread M18 to External Thread M22 Chrome-Plated Brass Reducer for Aerator Extender and Filter

The threaded adapter for a tap is the solution for taps with a narrow outlet, for which accessories are difficult to find. It has a male thread M18 on the narrower end and a male thread M22 on the wider end, both with fine pitch. You screw the narrower end into the outlet with an internal thread M18 instead of the original aerator, and you connect an attachment with an internal thread M22 to the wider end. Small outlets are mainly found on smaller basin taps and older taps. The replacement takes just a moment and you can do it without a plumber.

The adapter is made of brass with a chrome-plated surface, which is shiny and matches most standard taps. The narrower thread M18 transitions to the wider thread M22, so the part has a stepped shape and only extends the outlet by a few millimetres. Brass is a proven material for tap reducers as it withstands both cold and hot water well. The majority of swivel extenders, aerators, and filters for taps are manufactured with a thread M22. Thanks to this reducer, you can use them on taps with a smaller thread without having to search for special parts. You will also find this reducer useful when you want to try a modern water-saving aerator or filter on an older tap without having to replace the entire tap. It is a cheaper and quicker solution than replacing the entire fitting.

Before ordering, measure the thread in the tap outlet. Unscrew the aerator and use a caliper to determine the diameter of the internal thread. If you measure approximately 18 mm, the adapter is suitable for your tap. When installing, use sealing and tighten the threads carefully to avoid damage. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and a mild non-abrasive cleaner. Limescale can be gently removed with a citric acid solution, after which rinse the adapter with clean water. Keep the original aerator in case you want to return to it later.

The reducer from external thread M18 to external thread M22 expands the range of accessories even for taps with a small outlet. It is made of brass and thanks to the chrome finish it looks neat. You can use it for an aerator, swivel extender or water filter. Just verify that the outlet has an internal thread M18. Then screw in the adapter and connect your selected attachment to its thread M22.
