Description
A right-angle route for your hose connection
Bring your ½-inch garden hose into a compatible reel or watering fitting through a 90° bend. This Cost Wise connector combines an angled body, a lockable female quick socket and a flexible protector at the hose end.
The bend changes the direction at the connection, while the slotted protector supports the hose as it leaves the retaining nut.
One connector supplied. Hose, reel, cart and other accessories are sold separately.
Check the plug, then plan the hose route
This reel example shows the connector’s female quick socket engaged with a male garden plug. The hose exits at an angle, through the orange support at the opposite end.
Use it where your equipment has a compatible male garden quick plug and enough space for the body, lock control and hose. Check clearance before buying, especially around a reel’s frame or winding handle.
The hose attachment is for 13mm / ½-inch garden hose. Keep a gentle curve beyond the protector and avoid pulling the hose sideways against the connection. The reel and hose in the photo illustrate the setup and are not included.
Fit it with room for the hose to move
Check both connections with the water supply turned off.
Secure the hose
Release pressure and fit your ½-inch hose through the protector to the hose attachment. Seat it fully and tighten the retaining nut by hand, keeping the protector around the hose exit.
Engage and lock
Connect the female socket to a compatible male plug. Follow the moulded lock markings to secure it. Arrange the hose so the fitting and nearby equipment are not pulled sideways.
Check and release
Turn on the supply gradually and inspect the joints. Before uncoupling, shut off the water and release pressure, then follow the unlock marking and operate the release control. Drain after use and keep dirt out of the socket.
Before fitting it to your reel
Will it fit every hose reel or cart?
No universal reel fit is claimed. The equipment needs a compatible male garden quick plug and enough clearance for the bend and hose. It is not a replacement for a proprietary internal reel-axle or threaded connection.
What size hose does it hold?
13mm / ½-inch garden hose, as marked on the packaging. This is the hose size, not a BSP tap thread specification.
What does the flexible protector do?
It supports the hose where it leaves the retaining nut and helps manage the bend at that point. Leave space for the hose beyond it; sharp bends elsewhere or sideways pulling can still cause problems.
Does the lock turn off the water?
No. The locking control secures the quick connection. Shut off the supply and release pressure before unlocking and disconnecting the fitting.
