Kungfu Mall 2 Pack Brass Hose Tap Connector Set for Garden, 1/2 and 3/4 inch 2-in-1 Female Thread Faucet Adapter and 1/2 inch Female Hose Fitting with Gift Thread Tape

Great product great pricing and they have stopped my hose leaking like a broken dam so thank you for a great product.

Stuck it on outside tap water came out -result

There have been some other reviews claiming poor quality on these, it is not my experience, and I am likely to purchase more (already purchased 2).The system I have tested on is pressurised at 8bar, and have had no issues with these coming apart.What is important to note, is that brass connectors are different to the 'cheapo' plastic connectors sold by many brands (well known).Instead of there being a plastic clip, there is a metal ball bearing. This means that when engaging the two parts, you need to pull back the 'release shroud', insert, then release the shroud, otherwise you do not get a good connection (with the plastic springs you can get away with just pushing together).If not properly connected, then yes brass ones will just fly apart as only about 30% of the mechanism is attached. Once properly connected, these didn't budge at all, even given some significant man-handling.Another comment was on the plastic grip when attaching it to a hose. I have attached these to a couple of different hose types, both a hard and soft. Again, fully unscrew the end, put the nut and collar over the hose, push the hose in, AND THEN push the collar up to the connector, before trying to tighten the nut. Otherwise I found the collar bit the hose and stopped the nut from screwing in. Once done correctly the connection withstood some significant tugging.

I struggled to get it on the thread as the insert was slightly larger than others I have. Will probably grip well on cheap thin hose but not on the 2 or 3 standard hose I tried. 1/2 Diameter was fine - just thickness of hose caused issues.

After spending my life savings on a million plastic tap fittings I tried this brass set up. All set up in five minutes and no leaks! Brilliant. the two pieces join together in a more secure way by physically moving the female collar upwards but once together its a very firm joint. So far so very good!

Yeah not too bad to use ideal for outside garden hoses

I have a Victorian tap outside, I've been using a clamp hose which always falls out.This device converts the tap to fit any modern hose.

Was what it was, could have done with a bit more thread on the coupling but managed!
