Not a direct fit. Joining 1/2" BSP parallel (G1/2 / BSPP) to 3/4" BSP parallel (G3/4 / BSPP) needs a G1/2 to G3/4 tap thread adapter.

The adapter to buy

A 1/2 inch BSP indoor tap steps up to the 3/4 inch BSP a hose fitting expects with a short G1/2-to-G3/4 adapter. Both threads are parallel and seal on a washer, so this is a clean, reliable join.

Buy the version with a captive washer. A dry metal-to-metal step will weep under mains pressure.
