Full details
The HOZELOCK 1710 Hose Clips are designed for gardeners needing a secure and reliable way to connect garden hoses to fittings, particularly Hozelock Cypriflex hoses.

FAQs
What is the diameter of these hose clips?
These HOZELOCK hose clips are designed for 12mm diameter hoses.
Do I need tools to install these clips?
No, the clips feature a wing tightener that allows for easy, tool-free adjustment and tightening.
What does the foam strip do?
The foam strip on the inside of the clip ensures maximum grip to the exterior of the hose, preventing slippage and potential damage.
Can I use these clips on any garden hose?
They are specifically designed for Hozelock Cypriflex hoses but can be used on other hoses with a 12mm diameter. Ensure a snug fit for best results.
How many clips are included in a pack?
The HOZELOCK 1710 pack contains two hose clips.
What material are these clips made of?
The clips are made of zinc-plated metal for durability and corrosion resistance.
Troubleshooting
Hose still leaks after tightening
Ensure the hose is fully seated on the fitting and the clip is positioned correctly over the connection. Check if the hose diameter is indeed 12mm and compatible with the clip.
Clip is difficult to tighten
Verify that the hose is not over the widest part of the fitting. Ensure the wing tightener is clean and free of debris. If the hose is very stiff, warming it slightly might help.
Clip does not seem to grip the hose
Confirm the hose diameter is 12mm. Ensure the foam strip is intact and properly positioned. The clip may be too large for the hose if it's not a true 12mm.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure you have a 12mm diameter hose.
- Slide the hose clip over the end of the hose.
- Insert the hose onto the desired fitting (e.g., tap connector, sprinkler head).
- Position the hose clip over the connection point where the hose meets the fitting.

Care:
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth if dirty.
