FAQs

What material is the connector set made from?

The Kent & Stowe Metal Connector Set is made from high-quality, durable metal.

Does this set include a tap connector?

Yes, the set includes a connector specifically designed for garden taps.

What is the 'water stop' feature?

The water stop feature allows you to disconnect your hose from the spray nozzle or accessory without having to turn off the water at the tap. Water flow will cease at the point of disconnection.

Is this connector set suitable for all garden hoses?

This set is designed to fit standard garden hose sizes and common garden taps. Always check your hose diameter for compatibility.

How should I maintain the metal connectors?

Clean with a damp cloth and store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Ensure connections are snug but do not overtighten.

Can I leave the metal connectors attached outdoors year-round?

While durable, it is recommended to store the connectors in a dry place, especially during freezing winter months, to prolong their lifespan and prevent potential damage from frost.

Troubleshooting

Leaking from the tap connection

Ensure the tap connector is screwed on tightly and that the rubber washer is present and in good condition. Check the tap's thread for any damage.

Leaking from the hose connection

Make sure the hose is fully inserted into the connector and that the hose collar is tightened securely. Check the hose end for any damage or wear.

Water stop not functioning correctly

Verify that the hose is properly attached to the water stop end. Ensure there are no obstructions within the connector mechanism. Disconnect and reconnect the hose to reset.

Difficulty attaching connector to tap or hose

Ensure you are using the correct size connector for your tap and hose. Check for any dirt or debris on the threads or hose ends that may be hindering connection.
