Full details
This Spear and Jackson Hose Connector in Bronze is designed for gardeners and homeowners seeking a robust and reliable solution for connecting garden hoses. Its key benefit is exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion thanks to its brass construction, ensuring a long lifespan even in harsh outdoor conditions. A potential consideration is its specific 3/4" (19mm) connector size, which may not be compatible with all hose types without an adapter.

FAQs

What is the size of the connector?
The connector size is 3/4" (19mm).
Is this connector suitable for outdoor use all year round?
Yes, brass is resistant to changes in temperature, making it suitable for year-round outdoor use.

Does the connector come with any seals or washers?
Typically, hose connectors rely on the seal within the hose itself or the tap fitting. Ensure your hose end has a functioning washer.
Troubleshooting
Connector leaks water
Ensure the connector is screwed on tightly to the hose and tap. Check for any debris on the threads of the hose or tap. If the hose end is damaged, it may need replacement.
Difficulty attaching to the tap/hose
Verify that the hose or tap fitting is indeed 3/4" (19mm). Ensure the threads are clean and undamaged. Gently align the threads before screwing to avoid cross-threading.
Connector appears discolored (though rustproof)
While brass is rustproof, it can develop a patina over time. This is purely aesthetic and does not affect performance. Clean gently with a soft cloth if desired.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up, ensure your garden hose is compatible with the 3/4" (19mm) connector size. Screw the connector onto the water tap or the end of your hose securely. Hand-tighten first, then use pliers gently if a tighter seal is needed, being careful not to overtighten.
