Extra-secure hose connector
A new take on the standard hose connector, this sturdy, easy-to-use design has no teeth to break and instead clamps securely to your hose with wings secured by a nut so it can’t fly off. Choose from the Original, ideal for the tap end, or the No-Flow, which stops the flow of water when a spray gun is removed. It’s compatible with 12.5mm hoses and made from UV-stabilised plastic.
