Where to buy 1/2" thread to enema bag tubing adapter

Just got a new nozzle, and it has the 1/2" threads on it. Anyone know where I can get that female threaded adapter to go to standard enema tubing? Thanks............

Do you mean 1/2"NPT pipe threads on one side and a hose barb on the other? Those are common threads but not necessarily what enema bag manufacturers use.

Two words: Home Depot OR your favorite hardware store with plumbing supplies.

Try Silicone Nozzles. They have lots of adapters for enema nozzles & tubing.

NPT or NPSH?

NPT is tapered and will seal without a washer

NPSH is straight and requires a washer

Both will be about 6 or 7 turns to hand thght

As opposed to about 2-3 turns on most enema nozzles

Depending on whether it is a standard thread or not,

None of my enemas use standard thread, they do this to keep you from connecting directly to the high pressure water line.

Enema nozzles are generally a much coarser thread than standard plumbing fittings.

This IS deliberate so that the pressure of a city water line will blow it off

One of the reasons My Mom and my Dad did not share equipment,even after the relationship went sexual was that they had built their collections around 2 different brands, Mom around Davol Dad around Faultless, and the threads on the nozzles were not compatible

This is another reason why in modern times barbed fittings are so much more widely used.

I did check SN, but unless I missed it, what I'm looking for was not there. I'll try Home Depot and hope the threads are close enough! Thanks all!

There are many different thread profiles, most adhere to some standard, and others are proprietary. It would be nice if you could buy what you need at a hardware store, but the thread may not be standard although it looks like 1/2". Some of us have machinery and are able to machine just about any kind of thread, but we have to know precisely what the thread profile is. You need to know the thread pitch, the number of threads per inch, or if metric, the distance from thread to thread. Then there is the angle of the threads. They probably do not have sharp points, is the flat 1/8 of the pitch? How does the thread make a seal, threads alone won't do it, the nozzle needs to tighten up against a stop, I don't think you are going to find that at a hardware store. You can find something close and make up the difference with RTV or epoxy, as long as you don't want to take it apart. Some of us could machine the part you need if we had good drawings with good measurements.

Once I found a nozzle off of a disposable douche bottle. I tried to make a thread adapter for it, no matter what I did, it leaked, but it sure screwed into that douche bottle without leaking. If there was a market for it, I'd machine some adapters that would adapt nozzles to a plastic soda bottle, a source of cheap enemas for out of the country where they are hard to find.

I know this didn't really help, but who knows, it might.
