Silverline 196506 Quick Connector Auto Stop Brass 1/2" Female, Gold

I have a few of theses and have used 2 pairs of pliers to tighten them up. Because these are brass you can ensure it attaches very tight to the hose and won't come off easily, if ever. I have the same one on 3 different hoses so they seem versatile enough. To attach a hose gun etc. you need to pull the sleeve back and, while holding the sleve back, push the attachment into place and then release. The hoselock plastic type have an automatic push-click in feature. So for someone with arthritic hands this may be a struggle. These are built to last, and worth greasing the sleeve bearings every to keep them working well.

Fitted in seconds using grips (as per a previous reviewers suggestion). I didn't have any PTFE tape, which I thought may help but it doesn't seem to have mattered as Absolutely No Leaks!! I can't comment on durability as only just fitted but appears to do what it should. See pic. illustrating valve closed and under full pressure. The Actual spray unit is also much better than plastic ones (I've had dozens over the years). Delighted.

I do a lot of gardening and especially in spring I have a lot of work to do in the garden and need my watering hoses re-set up from winter. I usually use plastic connectors and they work well, however this time I tried to use a metal one to see if it is better. The connector looks good and feels sturdy, however after long exposure to weather (especially if left outside duty winter) it can become a little stuck when unscrewing and screwing back, which isn’t the case with the plastic connectors. Personally I prefer plastic but this one does the job okay too. Just needs to be oiled a bit at times

The superb FANHOA garden hose spray gun, must have this essential accessory to allow it to be connected to the garden hose, using a second essential item namely a brass Cast Pipe Fittings coupling 3/4 x 3/4 G Female. The two necessary accessories complement the FANHAO and together deliver a sturdy, delightful spray gun.

These are solid and I have no doubt they will last a good while in comparison to the plastic ones which fail after a few years in the sun with a lot of use. Be aware though these do not appear to work if you connect them to a brass tap fitting, then expect to pass water through them to the end of the hose or at the very least my dual brass tap fitting didn't work. Water would not pass the aqua lock mechanism in the connector in the direction of the end of the hose. It works fine when attaching to the various water nozzles so my assumption is the aqua stop valve is not the same design as the Hozelock variants. Hence I could only give three stars for overall rating

Thanks to reading Jaxton’s review of 2018, I got this connector to accept a Gardena lance spray and a Hoselock Spray Gun. After years of plastic connectors allowing these spray attachments to blow off the end of the hose after a few uses, continually being soaked and having to unscrew the plastic connector to reattach it, this brass connector, seems to be working! At first I could not get the plastic end of the spray to fit into the aperture but when I pulled back the sleeve it slid in like magic. Thanks to the previous review in 2018, as like most people unused to the many different types of connectors, I probably would not have worked that out for myself.

Although well made because it’s metal it keeps coming loose on hose so had to replace with a plastic one.

When I purchased a metal garden hose head I thought that a hose lock connector would be compatible. Regrettably not so. But this connector worked perfectly.

Massive sehr gute Ausführung in Messing, sollte jetzt auf Dauer halten und nicht verwittern da ständig im Freien montiert.. Gute Preis Leistungsverhältnis

Metallen börjar oxidera så snart den är inkopplad och då försämras funktionen.

Su robustez y que aguanta muchos presión de agua

Bien reçu ce jour mais pièce incomplete

Solido e si abbina bene con le pistole irrigatrici in ottone o ferro.
