Product Information

Full details

Its primary benefit is providing a secure, watertight connection for hoses with diameters of 13 mm (1/2") to 15 mm (5/8"). A potential consideration is its material, which is metal, offering durability but potentially different handling than plastic connectors.

FAQs

What hose sizes does the Gardena 18255-50 fit?

This connector is designed for garden hoses with an inner diameter of 13 mm (1/2 inch) and 15 mm (5/8 inch).

Is this connector made of plastic or metal?

The Gardena 18255-50 hose connector is made of metal for durability.

What is the 'kink protection' feature?

The kink protection is a design element within the connector that helps prevent the hose from bending sharply or kinking at the point of connection, ensuring water flow is maintained.

Can I use this connector to join hoses of different sizes (e.g., 13mm and 19mm)?

No, this connector is specifically designed to join two hoses of the same compatible size (13 mm or 15 mm).

How do I ensure a watertight seal?

Make sure the hose is pushed fully onto the connector and that there is no debris obstructing the connection. For extra security, especially with older or stiffer hoses, consider using hose clamps (sold separately).

Does it come with hose clamps?

This product is the hose connector itself and typically does not include hose clamps. Clamps may be purchased separately if needed.

What is the quantity per pack?

The Gardena 18255-50 is sold individually, with one hose connector per pack.

Troubleshooting

Connector is difficult to attach to the hose.

Ensure the hose end is clean and not deformed. Slightly moistening the hose end can help it slide on more easily. Verify you are using the correct hose diameter (13-15 mm).

The connection leaks water.

Ensure the hose is fully seated within the connector. Check for any damage to the hose end or the connector. Consider using hose clamps for a more secure fit, especially if the hose material is very stiff.

Hose kinks at the connector.

While the connector has kink protection, ensure the hose itself is not severely bent near the connection. The kink protection works best with moderate bends.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a reliable, watertight seal.
  • Durable metal construction ensures a long service life.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the ends of both garden hoses you wish to connect are clean and free from debris.
  2. Slide the metal connector firmly onto the end of the first hose, ensuring it is fully seated.
  3. Repeat step 2 for the second hose.
  4. Tighten any hose clamps if applicable (not included with the connector itself) for extra security.

Compatibility:

  • This connector is designed for garden hoses with an inner diameter of 13 mm (1/2") and 15 mm (5/8").
  • It is compatible with standard garden hose fittings and accessories.

Care:

  • After use, disconnect the hoses and rinse the connector if it has been exposed to mud or debris.
  • Store the connector in a dry place to prevent corrosion, although its metal construction offers good resistance.
  • Periodically check the connection for any signs of wear or damage.
