Description
Swap tools at the end of your hose
This lime and grey garden connector with water stop lets you change compatible watering accessories at the hose end. Removing the tool closes the outlet; connecting a matching male garden plug opens it again.
Part of the Bradas LIME LINE range, it fits ½-inch or ⅝-inch garden hose. The rear nut grips the hose, while the female quick-connect socket accepts the tool’s male plug.
One connector supplied. Hose, tap adapters, nozzles and spray guns are sold separately.
Fit once, then change accessories at the socket
The hose attachment and the click connection have separate roles.
Attach to sound hose
Turn off the tap and release pressure. Loosen the retaining nut and slide it onto a sound hose end. Seat the hose on the gripping end, then tighten the nut by hand. Use the specified ½-inch or ⅝-inch garden hose.
Connect your watering tool
Insert a compatible male garden plug until engaged. Open the tap gradually and check the connection before watering. A bare threaded tap needs a separate adapter; its thread size is not the hose size.
Release the tool, not the hose
Use the release collar to remove the accessory while the retaining nut stays on the hose. The valve closes that outlet during the change. When finished, turn off the tap, release pressure and drain before storage.
A closer look at the water stop
The close-up shows the valve inside the accessory socket. It closes when the tool is removed and is opened by a matching male plug. This is what distinguishes the stop version from a standard open connector.
The hose remains attached at the opposite end. Loosening that retaining nut is a separate operation, so turn off the supply and release pressure before making adjustments there.
Keep grit out of the socket. If a joint drips or a plug will not engage, check the mating fitting and hose attachment before continuing. Close the tap after use rather than leaving the stop to hold the supply indefinitely.
Questions about this LIME LINE connector
Does it fit both ½-inch and ⅝-inch hose?
Yes. Those are the two specified garden hose sizes for this version. Check the hose rather than measuring the outside of the connector or comparing it with a tap thread.
Which part do I release to change a spray gun?
Use the release collar at the female garden socket. The rear retaining nut holds the hose and stays fitted during tool changes. Your spray gun needs a compatible male garden click plug.
Can two female hose connectors join together?
Use a separate compatible double-male garden joiner between two female sockets. This connector does not plug directly into another female connector.
Is a hose or spray gun included?
No. This is one lime and grey female connector with water stop. Hose, tap adapters, joiners, nozzles and spray guns are separate items.
