Description
Make your hose ready to click into place
This green and black female hose connector gives a ½-inch garden hose a quick-connect socket for compatible watering equipment. Use it with a matching male garden plug on a nozzle, spray gun or suitable tap adapter.
The rear nut secures the hose; the separate release collar lets you uncouple the mating plug. That keeps the hose attachment in place when you disconnect your watering equipment.
One connector supplied. Hose, tap adapters and watering tools are sold separately. Installation photos showing hose or additional connectors illustrate assembly only.
See how the hose is held
With the retaining nut removed, you can see the green profiled teeth around the hose-entry section. The nut screws over this section to hold the hose. It is a hose attachment, not a thread for a tap.
At the opposite end is the female garden click socket. This takes a compatible male garden plug, rather than connecting directly to another female socket or a bare BSP tap thread.
Keep the hose-retaining nut fitted when uncoupling the accessory. Turn off the water and release pressure before making either connection loose.
Fit the hose end in three steps
Start with the tap off, pressure released and a sound ½-inch hose end.
Slide on the nut
Unscrew the rear retaining nut and slide it over the hose. Check that the hose end is clean and undamaged. Leave the connector’s release collar alone while attaching the hose.
Seat and secure the hose
Push the hose fully onto the gripping section, then bring the nut forward and tighten it by hand. The profiled teeth grip around the hose as the nut is secured.
Click in and check
Connect a compatible male garden plug to the female socket. Open the tap gradually and check the joints. After watering, shut off the tap, release pressure and drain the fitting before storage.
Before you connect
Will this fit ⅝-inch hose as well?
The specified hose size for this green and black version is ½-inch. Choose a connector expressly stated to fit your hose; a size range offered by a different version does not establish compatibility here.
Does it connect directly to a threaded tap?
No. The female socket takes a male garden click plug. A bare threaded tap needs a separate adapter that matches the tap thread and provides the correct male plug.
Can I join two female connectors together?
Not directly. A separate compatible double-male garden joiner is needed between two female sockets. This listing supplies one connector, without a joiner or hose.
Does this replace a water-stop connector?
This is the standard quick-connect version. Shut off the supply and release pressure before uncoupling it. Choose a separately specified water-stop connector if you need that feature for accessory changes.
