Description
A click connection for your ½-inch hose
This yellow and black female hose connector attaches to ½-inch garden hose. Use it to replace a worn hose-end connector or prepare a hose for watering equipment with a compatible male garden plug.
The ribbed retaining nut holds the hose at the rear. At the other end, the female quick-connect socket lets you change tools using the release collar.
One standard connector supplied. Hose and watering accessories are separate. Turn off the tap and release pressure before uncoupling this version.
See the hose-gripping section
The black retaining nut has been removed in this photo to reveal the yellow gripping section at the hose entry. Slide the nut onto the hose first, push the hose fully into position, then bring the nut forward and tighten by hand.
Once fitted, leave the rear nut in place for ordinary accessory changes. The female socket and release collar at the opposite end handle the connection to your watering tool.
The ½-inch specification refers to garden hose. It does not identify a BSP tap thread: a bare threaded tap needs a separate suitable adapter with a compatible male garden click plug.
Replacing a hose-end connector
Start with a sound hose end and the supply turned off.
Check the hose end
Use compatible ½-inch garden hose. Release water pressure before removing the old fitting. Inspect the hose end for splits or distortion and make sure it is clean before assembly.
Fit the rear nut
Slide the loosened nut over the hose, seat the hose fully on the gripping section and tighten the nut by hand. Do not use the front release collar to tighten the hose attachment.
Click in and test
Engage a matching male garden plug in the front socket. Turn the tap on gradually and inspect both joints. Shut off and release pressure before disconnecting, then drain after use and keep grit out.
Check the fitting before ordering
Which hose size is specified for this yellow version?
This version is specified for ½-inch garden hose. Choose a connector explicitly specified for another hose size if yours differs; colour alone does not establish compatibility.
Will it shut off the water when I remove a spray gun?
No. This is a standard connector rather than a water-stop version. Turn off the tap and release pressure before removing the male plug.
Can I use it to join two hoses?
It provides a female click socket on one hose end. If both hoses have female connectors, add a separate compatible double-male garden joiner between them.
What comes with the connector?
One complete yellow and black connector. The loose nut in the detail photo is part of that fitting. Hose, tap adapters, joiners, spray guns and other tools are not included.
