Need advice on hooking up a washing machine

I moved into a condo in Manila and there's a brand-new washing machine, but it's missing a part to connect it to the water faucet. I remember this being called a spigot.

The condo maintenance guy said I need a 'T-thread' and that I can get one at Ace Hardware. I searched Ace Hardware for delivery on the Grab app and nothing says 'T-thread.'

Before I go to the store and run into a staff member whose English is 'out of stock,' has anyone dealt with this and know the exact name of the part? Thanks in advance.

All I know how to do is change a car tire and a car battery. The rest of this life stuff is beyond me.

You need a faucet adapter. Yours looks like a 3/4-inch lip... Measure the diameter of your faucet tip and check these out. If the size matches, pick either a metal or plastic adapter: https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.Z7QpRC or https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.Z7QpJ0 Cheers!

Take a photo of the faucet you plan to connect the washing machine hose to and show it to them at the store. Sometimes they don't understand which part you need and might sell you the wrong one. You need the male part, like the black one in the photo, that goes inside the white part.

Thanks to everyone who shared their experience and advice. All set now. Cost about 4 USD.

Are you afraid to actually go to the store? I get that people in Manila condos don't want to go out and get their food, vegetables, groceries and everything else delivered, but why don't you actually go to the store? Are you busy? I still don't get the delivery culture. Get off your butt, take the parts in and figure it out. I know the staff there aren't as confident as what we're used to at Home Depot or Ace or wherever back home, but at least they're more competent than the IT guy who built the website.

You don't need an adapter. The rubber gasket keeps it from leaking. First screw the head on tight with the screws, then connect the washing machine hose to it. Speaking from experience here.
