Anne, there is one that I used to get from NAPA that fits, but I since
changed adapters as it was not as easy to get as the 1374. I went and
bought an adapter at the local hardware store - a plumbing fixture. You
could take the existing adapter into NAPA and and ask them for one that
fits. I believe the one I got had a metric thread but actually fitted
perfectly - no damage to the threads.
