Not a direct fit. Joining Male aerator thread (M18 x 1) to Male aerator thread (M22 x 1 / 15/16"-27) needs a M18 male to M22 male aerator adapter.

The adapter to buy

A small M18 male spout reaches a standard M22 aerator or tap connector with an M18-to-M22 adapter. Both are fine 1 mm pitch aerator threads sealing on an internal washer, so the join is clean once the washer seats.

M18 is a genuinely smaller spout thread, not just a worn M22. An M22 aerator will start crooked on it and cross-thread; use the correct step adapter.
