FAQs
What size hose does this connector fit?
The Hozelock Hose Connector Plus is designed for standard garden hose diameters. While it aims for broad compatibility, variations in hose manufacturing can occur with non-standard brands.
Can this connector be used with a pressure washer?
Yes, the connector is rated to secure up to 10 bar, making it suitable for use with standard garden hoses connected to pressure washers, provided the hose itself is rated appropriately.
How do I ensure a leak-free connection?
Push the hose firmly into the connector until it clicks securely. The triple locking system and the barbs gripping both the inside and outside of the hose are key to a leak-free seal.
Is the yellow color a UV-resistant plastic?
The product description specifies ultra-tough engineering plastics for durability. Specific details on UV resistance for the color are not provided.
What is the benefit of the flexible hose tail?
The flexible hose tail is engineered to prevent the hose from kinking, swelling, or leaking at the point where it connects to the nut, ensuring consistent water flow and extending the life of the hose.
Can I use this connector with any brand of garden hose?
It is designed for compatibility with most standard garden hoses. However, 'brand sizes may vary,' meaning some non-standard hoses might have slightly different dimensions that affect the fit.
How should I clean the connector?
Clean the connector with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the plastic components.
Troubleshooting
Connector is difficult to attach to the hose.
Ensure the end of the hose is clean and free of debris. If the hose is rigid, you might need to soften the end slightly in warm water to make attachment easier. Check for brand compatibility if the hose is non-standard.
Water leaks from the connection point.
Verify that the hose is fully inserted into the connector and that the triple locking system is engaged. Inspect the internal hose connection and the seal for any damage or debris. Ensure the hose tail is not being excessively bent or kinked.
Hose kinking near the connector.
The flexible hose tail is designed to prevent this. Ensure the hose tail is not obstructed and has sufficient space to flex. If kinking persists, check the condition of the hose itself further down its length.
