Product Information

Full details

This Flopro Supergrip Waterstop Spray Gun Connector is for gardeners who frequently switch between watering accessories. Its key benefit is the automatic water shut-off when a spray gun is disconnected, saving water and trips to the tap. A minor consideration is ensuring compatibility with existing hose fittings, though it's designed for major brands. The connector features an internal valve, a secure hose connection mechanism, and durable ABS plastic construction for reliable, leak-free operation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does 'Waterstop' mean in the product name?

'Waterstop' refers to the connector's internal valve that automatically stops the water flow when you disconnect a spray gun or other accessory.

Is this connector suitable for all types of garden hoses?

This connector is specifically designed for 12.5mm (1/2 inch) garden hoses and is compatible with most major watering brands due to its 'Snap Fit' system.

How durable is the ABS plastic construction?

The ABS plastic used is described as 'ultra-tough' and 'superior,' designed to withstand regular use and outdoor environmental conditions, providing longevity.

Does the 'Snap Fit' mechanism require tools for attachment?

No, the 'Snap Fit' mechanism is designed for tool-free connection. It uses a stainless steel internal spring for easy, secure attachment and detachment.

How often should I clean the connector?

It's good practice to check for debris at connection points regularly. A simple clean with a damp cloth is sufficient when needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can this connector be used with sprinklers or only spray guns?

The 'Waterstop' feature is beneficial for any accessory where you might disconnect it frequently, including sprinklers, other types of nozzles, or watering wands.

What is the benefit of the extended clench mechanism?

The extended clench mechanism provides a stronger, more permanent grip on the hose, significantly reducing the risk of the hose becoming detached under pressure.

Troubleshooting

Water continues to flow when accessory is disconnected.

Ensure the accessory is fully detached. Check if the internal valve within the connector is obstructed by debris; clean if necessary. If the issue persists, the valve may be faulty.

Hose connection feels loose or leaks at the connector.

Remove the connector and reattach, ensuring it is pushed on as far as possible for the clench mechanism to engage fully. Check the hose end for damage or deformation.

Accessory is difficult to attach or detach.

Ensure both the connector and the accessory's male end are clean and free of dirt or grit. A slight twisting motion while connecting/disconnecting might help.

Connector does not fit the hose.

Verify that you are using a 12.5mm (1/2 inch) hose. This connector is not designed for other hose sizes.

  3. Attach your spray gun or other watering accessory to the other end of the connector. The 'Snap Fit' mechanism should provide a satisfying click.
