Troubleshooting
Water leaking at the connection point
Ensure the connector is tightened sufficiently and check that the internal gasket is properly seated and free of debris.
Connector is difficult to thread onto the tap
Verify that you are aligning the connector straight with the tap threads to avoid cross-threading; back it off and try starting again slowly.
Hose slipping out of the connector
Check that the hose diameter is exactly 1/2 inch (12.7mm) and that the compression collar is tightened firmly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your connector, align the female thread with your garden tap or accessory's male thread. Twist the connector clockwise until you feel it seat firmly against the gasket. Do not over-tighten, as this may strip the threading.
These connectors are compatible with any 1/2 inch (12.7mm) garden hose pipe. To maintain the life of the connector, periodically rinse them with fresh water to remove grit or debris that might interfere with the seal. During extreme winter conditions, while they are frost-resistant, it is good practice to disconnect them from the tap if you plan to shut off the outdoor water supply.
