Description
Choose the connection that suits your hose
Replace a worn fitting or set up a hose for watering with this range of female garden quick connectors. All eleven options fit ½-inch garden hose, with different materials, grip surfaces and release styles to choose from.
The front socket accepts a compatible male garden plug. The rear retaining nut secures the hose, so you can change watering equipment without undoing the hose attachment.
One connector in your selected style. Lockable Green is shown as an example. Hose, tap adapters, joiners and watering tools are sold separately.
Hose grip and accessory release are separate
The rear retaining nut tightens the connector onto the hose. Leave it fitted when changing a nozzle or spray gun; use the release mechanism at the front socket instead.
On Lockable Orange and Lockable Green, the padlock markings identify the twist-lock positions. Engage the matching male plug, set the lock as marked and return it to the unlocked position before releasing. The photo shows Lockable Orange.
A lock holds the connection engaged; it does not mean the fitting automatically stops the water. Turn off the tap and release pressure before uncoupling. The Brass and Zinc Chrome choices have metal bodies; Zinc Chrome is zinc alloy with chrome plating.
Fit and check your chosen connector
Use a sound hose end and a compatible male garden plug.
Fit the hose end
Shut off the water and release pressure. Slide the loosened rear nut onto the hose, seat the hose fully on the gripping section and tighten the nut by hand. Check the hose size against your selected option.
Connect the equipment
Engage the matching male garden plug in the front socket. Set any fitted lock as marked. Open the tap gradually and inspect the hose attachment and accessory joint before watering.
Change tools and store
Switch off and release pressure before uncoupling. Release any lock before operating the connector’s release mechanism. Drain after use and keep dirt out of the socket and hose-gripping parts.
Before you choose a style
Which options can I use with ⅝-inch hose?
Orange & Black, Soft Touch Black and Lime are specified for ½-inch or ⅝-inch hose. All other options in this listing are specified for ½-inch garden hose.
Are all the connectors made from plastic?
No. Brass has a brass body, and Zinc Chrome has a chrome-plated zinc-alloy body. The other choices are plastic-bodied styles; Soft Touch Black adds a soft gripping surface.
Can this screw straight onto a tap?
The female garden click socket needs a compatible male plug. A bare threaded tap requires a separate suitable tap adapter. To join two hoses already fitted with female connectors, use a compatible separate double-male garden joiner.
Do I receive all eleven styles or the pictured hose?
No. Each purchase supplies one connector in the style selected above. Other connectors, hose, taps, adapters, joiners and watering equipment in the photos illustrate the range or possible connections and are not included.
