Shower hosehead attachment for old tub

shower hose/head attachment for old tub


I've got an old tub that doesn't have a shower head. It only has a faucet for water. I'm trying to hook up a shower hose head (standard 1/2 hose) by attaching it to the faucet. The aerator is a male 15/16-27. I went to all the local hardware stores and they tell me that a male/male 15/16-27 to 1/2 adapter does not exist. I'm going crazy trying to find some way to do this. Can anyone give me a link for an adapter that would work for me? Or is there any alternate way of doing this? One person at Lowe's set me up with some franken-show adapter consisting of a 15/-16 snap fitting going to a rubber adapter to a 1/2 male adapter, all tied down with clamps. This lasted for 1 use before the rubber adapter ruptured and sprayed water every. HALP! Thanks. http://www.plumbingsupply.com/add_a_showers.html
