Having made a boo boo and overordered some replacement bathroom shower hoses, I wonder what is the screw thread such that I might turn some mating pieces to join them together as a form of garden hose?
Presumably British Standard Pipe (BSP)?
Get some compression joiners for 15mm pipe.
Remove the nuts and olives.
You should find the shower fitting screws on.
You may need to seal somehow, perhaps pop in a lathe and turn a 'flat' (there is a recess for the olive). Then fit the normal washer used with shower hoses.
I used the technique to make a fitting once, worked for years no problem. Could still be working.

Such couplers are already made eg

Can be got cheaper if you are ordering a lot, or can put together an order of plumbing parts to reduce postage. But don't you want parallel threads because ISTR shower hoses seal with a rubber washer rather than tightening on the thread?
To be fair, that Ebay seller may well be selling a parallel thread nipple (he doesn't say) although his picture is of a taper thread one.
That would do nicely, and the rubber washers in the hose end fittings will seal on the ends of the nipple.
Diolch yn fawr, Owain. Die ordered from Tracy Tools.
