We have (after a small bank loan) bought this tap:
Does anyone know where I can buy them in the UK. I don't seem to be able to find them anywhere.
many thanks,
Robert
How about this?

I fitted a similar Hansgrohe tap and found a brass fitting at the plumbers merchants 15mm compression - to - 3/8" male BSP.. With an isolating service valve directly upstream this works well. Whether the aesthetics will work in your situation is another thing

thanks for the suggestions folks.
The nut on the tail does not seem to be the same as the one on a 10mm compression fitting. It's someway in between the nut son 10mm and
15mm compression fittings. Perhaps it's not actually a 3/8 thread despite what is says in the literature with the tap.A 15mm-3/8BSP converter shuld be OK as Phil suggest but I really want a nice decorative chrome one with a valve.
This looks like what I want, with a small tap head fro isloation, but I need to check that the female thread really is 3/8.
The nuts on my Grohe taps are more decorative (slimmer and longer) than the normal compression nut, but the internal threads are the same (3/8).

I must check teh threads again because the Grohe nut thread is much bigger than the threaded part of a 10mm compression fitting - perhaps it's an 8mm fitting I am comparing with. I must measure these properly.
At least I now know what to search for : "angle valve".
