Is there any way to join thwo different thread types without leaks? A friend gave me a beautiful Bosch dishwasher but the water connection is a problem. The dishwasher hose has a female connection the diameter of a hose bib, but with a finer thread. The adapter sold by Bosch does not thread onto the water connection under my sink - not sure if the thread is actually different or the little nipple inside the female hose connection is too long for my male sink connection. I've been to every hardware in the area looking for some way to piece all of this together with no luck. The closest I can come involves using a male hose bib connection to the female dishwasher line, with the obvious problem of the mismatched threads. Any suggestions would be so greatly appreciated.
