How about a clamp-on connecter, made with a few bolts as mentioned earlier, plus an inline Hozelok (or equivalent) connector pair, so that the tap can be turned on and off without twisting the hose.

I am currently trying to remove a few items from house which I was surprised to find contained it, and just wondered if the supataps did (as from that time period 50-60's up to 80's)? Thanks
Not that I am aware of. If they did then a lot of the stuff has been in landfil which, shock horror is where asbestos goes in any case of course! Brian

replying to Michael, Old Dave wrote: The hose connector consisted of a sort of "cup" which went on the end of the tap, with two plastic pieces which swung upwards and had holes to clip over the opposite "ears" of the tap (the bits you used to turn it). A swivel was incorporated somehow so that the hose did not twist.

replying to Old Dave, Michael Hooker wrote: I wish you could still get these. I made something similar with a standard hozelock connector and a whole set of threaded rods, nuts and bolts and carefully-cut out bits of aluminium. It worked fine but was not "domestically acceptable" over the kitchen sink and took about 30 minutes to put on or take off.
