It was one we would use on with solder on the copper water pipe to a tap inside the house, so it may not be identical to what you in the USA would use. I guess your street fittings are screw-in and quite thick-walled, like the ones Jim had on the full-flow oil-filter. You need an elbow that has an external diameter similar to the nylon breather T you are going to connect the hose to at the tank end. The hose would stretch a bit; our elbows go round 15mm ext diam, so must be about 16mm dia, but there may be something closer in size to use. Dave.
