Description
A water-stop connection for your watering tool
Fit this WHITE LINE female connector to the tool end of a compatible garden hose. Its internal stop closes the outlet when you disconnect an accessory, then opens again when you insert a matching male garden plug.
The white and grey plastic fitting accepts ½-inch or ⅝-inch garden hose. A screw-on nut holds the hose at the rear, while the female click socket connects to your nozzle, spray gun or other suitable tool.
One connector supplied. Hose, tap adapters and watering equipment are sold separately.
How the hose is held
The photograph shows the hose-retaining nut removed. The hose sits over the grey central insert, inside the profiled gripping teeth. The white nut tightens around that attachment.
Turn off the water and release pressure. Slide the loosened nut onto the hose first, seat the hose fully on the gripping end, then tighten by hand. Check that the hose end is round, flexible and free from splits; trim damaged material if needed.
This attachment stays on the hose when you change watering tools. Use the click-connection release collar to remove the tool’s male plug, rather than unscrewing the hose nut.
Match the connection to the job
A suitable hose end and a compatible accessory plug are both needed.
At the watering end
The stop helps when changing between a spray gun, nozzle or another compatible tool. The outlet closes while the accessory is disconnected. Attach the next tool’s male plug fully before resuming watering.
Check the mating plug
The socket accepts a male garden click plug, not a bare BSP tap thread. A threaded tap needs its own adapter. To connect two female hose sockets, use a separate compatible double-male joiner.
Keep it working cleanly
Keep grit out of the socket and inspect the mating plug if a joint drips. Open the tap gradually after assembly. The stop does not replace closing the tap: turn off the supply, release pressure and drain after use.
Questions about the WHITE LINE stop connector
Which hose sizes fit?
This version accepts ½-inch or ⅝-inch garden hose. The sizes refer to the hose, not a BSP tap thread. Use a sound hose end of the correct size so the retaining nut and teeth can hold it properly.
When does the valve close?
The valve closes when the watering tool is disconnected and opens when a matching male plug is connected. Close the tap after use and before adjusting the hose attachment.
Does the retaining nut need to be removed to change tools?
No. The retaining nut secures the hose and stays fitted during accessory changes. Use the release collar at the female click socket to disconnect a compatible tool. Turn off the water before loosening the hose-retaining nut.
What is included?
One white and grey WHITE LINE female water-stop connector with its retaining nut. Hose, tap adapters, joiners and watering tools are separate.
