24mm Male Tap Adapter – For Diverter Valve Connections
If you’ve got a faucet with a 24mm male thread (the kind where the thread sticks out), this adapter is the piece you need to connect a standard diverter valve. It’s designed for a clean, secure fit and gives you an easy way to hook up your benchtop water filter without calling a plumber.
This adapter helps bridge the gap between your faucet and your water filter system, especially when the diverter fitting doesn’t directly match your tap thread. Just screw it on, tighten by hand, and you’re good to go.
Made from quality brass or chrome-plated (depending on stock), it’s built for daily use, holds pressure well, and doesn’t corrode or leak when fitted properly.

Where You’d Use It
This adapter is made for homes where the faucet has a 24mm male thread, but the diverter valve needs a female connection. Most benchtop filters come with diverter valves that expect a 24mm female tap connection. If your faucet’s male-threaded, you’ll need this to bridge that mismatch.
Perfect for:
-
Kitchen taps (mixer or single-lever)
-
Rental homes where permanent filter installs aren’t an option
-
Temporary filter setups during travel or holidays
How to Check if It Fits Your Tap
-
Unscrew the aerator at the end of your faucet.
-
Look at the thread:
-
If the thread is on the outside (male) and measures 24mm, this is what you need.
-
If the thread is on the inside (female), you probably don’t need this adapter.
-
If it’s a different size (like 22mm or 28mm), this won’t fit, and we don’t carry other sizes.
Still not sure? Grab a ruler or caliper and measure across the thread from edge to edge. If it’s 24mm across and the thread is external, this is the adapter for you.
Why This Matters
If your diverter doesn’t screw in properly, you’ll get leaks, low pressure, or no connection at all. This adapter makes sure you get a tight, leak-free join between your faucet and your water filter diverter. It’s a simple fix, but an essential one for hassle-free filtration.
FAQs
1. How do I know if this adapter fits my tap?
Remove the aerator from the end of your tap and check the thread. If your faucet has an external (male) thread measuring 24mm across, this adapter is the right fit.
2. What does this adapter connect to?
It connects your kitchen tap to a diverter valve, which then links to your benchtop water filter system.
3. Do I need tools to install this?
No tools required. You can screw it on by hand. Just make sure it's tight and flush for a proper seal.
4. What if my tap has a different thread size?
Unfortunately, this adapter only fits 24mm male-threaded taps. If your tap has a different size, it won't work, and we don’t currently stock other thread sizes.
5. Can I leave the adapter on my tap permanently?
Yes, you can. It's made from durable, corrosion-resistant materials that are designed to handle daily use and stay in place long term.
