Product Information

Full details

This Faithfull Plastic Hose Fittings Starter Kit is designed for homeowners and garden enthusiasts needing a convenient set for basic watering tasks. Its key benefit is providing the four most essential hose fittings in one package, ensuring immediate usability for connecting hoses to taps and for extending or repairing them. A minor caveat is that the plastic construction, while lightweight, may be less durable than metal alternatives over extended, heavy-duty use.

FAQs

What size hose is compatible with this kit?

This kit is specifically designed for hoses with a 12.5mm (1/2 inch) bore.

Are these fittings compatible with other brands?

Yes, they are compatible with all other standard UK water fittings.

Can I use these fittings with high-pressure water systems?

These fittings are suitable for standard domestic water pressure. For very high-pressure systems, metal alternatives might be more durable.

How do I attach the connectors to the hose?

Push the connector firmly onto the end of the hose until it is seated securely. Some systems may use screw clamps for added security.

What is the difference between the Hose Connector and the Water Stop Hose Connector?

The standard Hose Connector is for joining hoses or creating a connection point. The Water Stop Hose Connector allows you to disconnect a device (like a spray nozzle) from the hose without shutting off the water at the tap.

Does the kit include a hose?

No, the kit includes four types of plastic hose fittings and a spray nozzle, but not the hose itself.

What should I do if a fitting appears to be the wrong colour?

The product description notes that the colour may differ slightly from images due to lighting and screen resolution. The functionality remains unaffected.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the tap connection

Ensure the tap connector is screwed on tightly and that there is a rubber washer present and in good condition inside the connector.

Leak at the hose connection

Check that the hose is fully inserted into the connector and that any securing mechanism (like a clamp) is tight. Ensure the hose end is not frayed.

Spray nozzle not working correctly

Check for blockages in the nozzle head. Rotate the nozzle head to ensure it's set to the desired spray pattern.

Water stop connector not stopping water flow

Ensure the connector is securely attached to the hose. The internal mechanism may be obstructed; try cleaning it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your garden hose is the correct bore size (12.5mm or 1/2 inch).
  2. For hose connectors, slide the fitting onto the end of the hose and tighten the screw clamp (if applicable) or push firmly until it clicks securely.
  3. For tap connectors, screw it onto the compatible tap. If using the dual connector, attach your hose and any other watering accessory to the respective outlets.
  4. Attach the spray nozzle or water stop connector to the end of the hose.
