Description
Turn the connection, not the hose
At a hose-cart inlet, space for a sweeping bend can be limited. This Royal Green hose connection set pairs a straight fitting with a 90° locking elbow to change direction at a compatible garden click connection.
Choose a 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, 5m or 10m length of green, red-stripe ½-inch hose to suit the route from your tap to the reel.
One selected hose length, one straight connector and one elbow supplied. Tap adapters and hose carts are sold separately.
A closer look at the reel connection
The elbow's female garden click socket attaches to a matching male garden plug. Its right-angle body directs the hose away from the inlet, while the orange flexible protector supports the hose where it leaves the fitting.
The elbow includes a twist-lock mechanism. Engage the matching plug fully and use the lock as intended before opening the tap. The reel shown is an example of the connection and is not included.
Check your own reel inlet: a threaded, barbed or proprietary fitting is not automatically compatible. The straight connector at the opposite end also needs a matching male garden plug, such as the outlet on a suitable tap adapter.
Allow slack so neither end is pulled sideways. Before moving the cart or disconnecting fittings, close the tap and release the pressure.
Set up a practical link from tap to reel
Measure the route and choose the length above before connecting the equipment.
Leave room to move
Include the position of the tap adapter, the reel inlet and any corners in between. Leave a gentle curve and slack at each fitting; the elbow changes direction but does not replace the need for enough hose.
Know the hose construction
Royal Green uses six layers, including flexible PVC, an anti-algae barrier and two polyester reinforcement braids. The green outer jacket resists UV exposure. These features support garden use without making the hose kink-proof.
Check, use and drain
Check the hose-retaining nuts and click connections with the water off. Open the tap gradually and inspect the joints. After use, close the tap, release pressure and drain, then store loosely coiled away from frost.
Before choosing the elbow connection set
Will the elbow fit every hose reel?
No. It needs a matching male garden click plug at the reel inlet. Check the connection and the space around it before ordering. Threaded, barbed or proprietary reel inlets may need a different fitting.
Does the set include a tap adapter?
No. Each option supplies one selected Royal Green hose length, one straight black/orange female quick connector and one 90° locking elbow. A bare threaded tap needs its own correctly threaded adapter with a matching male garden plug.
How do I choose the length?
Measure along the route between the tap and reel inlet, including corners, then allow slack at both ends. Choose from 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, 5m or 10m. Avoid choosing a length that leaves the fittings under tension.
Is the complete kit certified for drinking water?
This set is offered for garden watering and outdoor rinsing. The hose's material information does not establish drinking-water certification for the complete hose-and-connector assembly. Use equipment specifically certified for your drinking-water installation when that is required.
