G'day John,
thanks for the assist, but I'm not sure they're carrying what I need.

This:

looks OK but it say's 3/4", not 1 1/16"

This one:
http://www.lowes.com/pd_34460-143-PP2501...0fittings$Va=55
is, I think, close. but again talks about 3/4" and I don't see how it can clamp the hose in the end I can't see.

And they don't seem to have the male threaded one at all.

Tell me, what is the most common garden hose diameter in the US. 3/4" or 1/2" ? We mostly use 1/2"
