Description
A quick-connect end for 10mm hose
Fit a compatible curly or spiral hose with this black-and-orange female garden connector. Its socket couples to a matching male garden quick-connect plug.
One connector supplied. Hose, tap adapters and watering accessories are separate.
Match the socket to the garden fitting
The broad end is a female garden quick-connect socket. It fits over a compatible male quick-connect plug, allowing the hose to be connected to a suitable tap adapter or watering attachment.
A bare threaded tap needs a tap adapter first. The socket does not screw directly onto the tap, and its quick-connect interface is different from the 10mm hose attachment at the rear.
Check the mating plug, its seal and the space around it. Similar-looking fittings are not a guarantee of compatibility; a damaged seal or an incomplete connection can cause problems even when the hose size is right.
Fit the hose at the smaller end
The rear nut unscrews to expose the orange hose tail. Fit the nut onto the hose first, seat the hose on the tail and tighten the nut by hand.
Use a compatible 10mm curly or spiral garden hose. Check both the bore and outside wall rather than relying on a colour match or a photograph. Replace a split or distorted hose end instead of trying to compensate by forcing the nut tighter.
The 10mm designation identifies the stated hose fit. It is not a BSP thread size or a measurement of the female quick-connect opening.
Before the first watering
Check the hose attachment and quick coupling separately.
Seat the hose
Check the hose end is in good condition and sits fully on the tail. Tighten the retaining nut by hand without using tools to force the plastic parts.
Connect the socket
Push it fully onto the matching male garden plug. Check that the coupling is engaged, then open the water gradually and inspect both ends of the connection.
Release and store
Turn off the supply and release pressure before disconnecting. Keep grit out of the socket, drain the hose and store the fitting protected from frost.
Questions about the 10mm connector
Can I use this instead of a standard ½-inch hose connector?
This version is intended for compatible 10mm curly or spiral garden hose. A standard 13mm / ½-inch garden hose needs the appropriate hose-end connector. Check the hose dimensions and wall thickness before ordering.
Does “female” mean it has a female tap thread?
No. It describes the female garden quick-connect socket. That socket fits a matching male quick-connect plug; a bare threaded tap needs its own suitable tap adapter.
What is supplied with one unit?
One black-and-orange 10mm female hose connector with its retaining nut. Hose, male plug, tap adapter and watering equipment are not included.
