Those were the search terms we used to find an adaptor that connected water fittings. Given the circumstances, we were evaluating the practicality of a toilet seat bidet and needed some parts to complete the installation. In the back of our minds, we recalled having seen such an item but had no idea what they were called. We could not have foreseen the difficulty trying to find something so simple online.
We tried combinations of the following keywords:
- male
- plumbing
- water
- hose
- connector
- fitting
- adaptor/adapter
- brass
Some of the search result items came close, but were grossly oversized and intended for a different purpose. Having failed online, we stepped into the plumbing hardware store and described it to the fellow at the counter.
“You mean a nipple?”
How on earth would we have figured that? So the item we wanted is known as a “Brass Hex Nipple“.
How about that? 😏
