Hydrogarden 2pc Brass Hose Connector Hose End Quick Connect Fitting 1/2" Hose Pipe Quick Connector for Gardening, Home Watering,Car Washing

Very nicely made, brass connector that replaces the standard plastic connectors generally supplied. The plastic ones do not last long in the garden, I’m expecting the metal ones to perform better

Brilliant, do exactly what they say

Goo quality, yet did not fit my existing pipe work size.

Much better than plastic. No leaks

Finally, a 3 way tap converter that is solidly built & more importantly doesn’t leak everywhere. It’s also the perfect configuration for what we want it to do!!Third time lucky as they say.

The media could not be loaded. Very good quality garden hose adaptor.Has lasted throughout the cold winter.

I brought these Brass solid connectors to replace my old plastic Hozelock ones which only last around a year before the weather degrades them beyond use. Unfortunately I have that more expensive Hozelock hose with those yellow 'anti-kink' lines that run down the sides of the hose. The clear plastic hose clamp rear inserts don't allow for this or any sort of latitude whatsoever so won't let the rear cap engage the screw thread (as you can see in the photos) and it wont squeeze between the hose and the brass cap to let the cap screw shut. Back to Hozelock then! Booooooo.....

I originally had a plastic one of these that lasted over 8 years. It finally wore out at the worst possible time in the area that clips on to the metal spray gun. The water pressure began to disconnect the gun.I opted for this metal one but failed to check one key aspect and that is how much of the hose pipe can be fed in to the other end.My plastic one accepted about 2.5 to 3cm of the hose pipe in to it before clamping down on the pipe. This just about managed 1cm's worth. Therefore it looked and felt as though the grip may not last.So far there hasn't been any issues and the first use went without a hitch.
