How do I connect a diverter to a Grohe tap?

[noviceneedshelp]

Hello,

I’m trying to fit a diverter to a Grohe concetto single hole mixer tap. I have removed the aerator but cannot find any adapter that will fit as the opening is at an angle. The removed aerator is F22 female and screws onto plastic threads that look like a hexagon when looking up into the tap. I’m wondering if that plastic piece can be removed which may make the tap become a female connection instead (which I have an adapter for).

Any help is much appreciated.

May I ask why you need a diverter on a kitchen tap ?

It is for the bathroom. The tap is this one: Grohe Concetto Mono Basin Mixer | Available From Victorian Plumbing - https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/grohe-concetto-mono-basin-mixer-3224010l

I don't understand either.
What are you trying to fit and why?

I’m trying to fit this: Amazon product to the sink as I’m in a rented flat and all the plumbing is behind tiles, so only option is to connect to the sink tap. The problem is the top is too big to fit at the angle where the aerator fits.

It worked in the last flat I was in with a different style tap - it screwed right into the end after removing the aerator. Are there no adapters for this type of Grohe tap?

Is there another way to connect a bathroom sink tap to a hose?

That diverter is meant to replace an F22 aereator.

You will need to use an M22xM22 adaptor -https://www.aqua-techniques.fr/PBSCProduct.asp?ItmID=30025344&AccID=19102&PGFLngID=0&gclid=CjwKCAiAkJKCBhAyEiwAKQBCkvqBbpBjJhdAzfpKv1OEyJy%2DiI1v%5FBxsThH2r9dFIEpQbLa7DCMcnhoC4qQQAvD%5FBwE

As are all but twin flow "mixer taps" when used on mains water.
Some Polish plumbers have a Youtube video taking the P out of these mixer taps that don't mix.

that’s why you need to install double checks or the supplied valves which include back flow prevention

....and why every other country in Europe just uses mains pressure balanced hot and cold water supplies, with the backflow protection at the water company's meter.
