The few I tried, whether metal or plastic, were always just absolute junk and turned me off to the whole concept. Enter the Gardena products and, in particular, this adapter. I bought it to swap out for the plastic one that came with my 7-in-1 Gardena sprayer, because you can't snug the plastic ones down without fear of breaking it and I wanted something that would endure better in the desert sun. There are still plastic parts on this adapter, of course, but not the critical connection to the hose where you want to snug it up and prevent any leaks. And, for those curious, unlike the grey vs. orange (Euro vs. North American) thread issue, I encountered absolutely no leaks when using these on my good old USA-made hoses. Whether it's because you can tighten them more or because they fit North American hose, I cannot say, but they don't leak a drop and that's the bottom line. In terms of fit and finish, these bad boys are miles ahead of the junk at the home improvement and big box retail outlets. They are heavy/weighty in the hand and that heft almost always correlates with quality. No cheap parts, no cheap metal, just loads of German engineered and German-made, uncompromising quality. The connections are quick, simple and rock solid, especially when coupled with metal adapters, although these will work with either metal or plastic versions, as they are fully interchangeable. In my case, I snagged two of these and one of the 39022-G premium metal adapters, and was able to rig up a complete system for my backyard needs. Slap the 39022-G on one end of your hose, the 39018 on the other and then a second 39018 to your hose bib and voila. You can now quick disconnect your watering implements (e.g. sprayers, sprinklers, etc.) from the end of the hose AND you can disconnect the hose from the hose bib at will. For those that might want to store their hose or be able to quickly remove it to make it easier to untangle or coil up, this will save you tons of time. Being able to swivel it on both ends will also make it easier to deal with snags/kinks. I could not be happier, and I am re-ordering another set to do the same setup with the hose in my front yard. Absolutely fantastic product, light years ahead of the import junk and other garbage out there. Highly recommended. Review: Wow! These seem really good… - This is not something I would normally write a review for. But I have purchased from your local Lowe’s and Home Depot the generic brand that they carry. And both of those last one season. There seems to be a lot of line in calcification that gets added to it and then they just don’t work anymore or like all the time. I got these at the beginning the season and they are holding up. I am totally amazed at how much better these are built. Stay away from plastic ones! Stay away from the steel ones! These are aluminum and they do exactly what they’re supposed to do. My worst case is next season I might have to replace the rubber but maybe not. I ended up buying multiple sets and I am happy with these. If you’re looking for something that is worth an investment long-term I think these are at. They seem very well and they seem to work with our heavy duty use. ## Features - Original GARDENA System Fittings: Designed to be quick, reliable and watertight - for use between tap and hose as well as hose and appliances (5/8-Inch or 1/2-Inch hoses) - For adapting threaded taps to the Original Gardena System - Compatible with Gardena Tap to Hose Quick Connectors - Manufactured from premium metal alloy for durability and longevity ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004Y9YGNU | | Best Sellers Rank | #127,019 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #1,322 in Garden Hose Parts & Connectors | | Brand | Gardena | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,658) | | Department | Unisex-Adult | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00066283390047 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Length | 1 Inches | | Item Weight | 2.39 ounces | | Item model number | 39004-G | | Manufacturer | GARDENA | | Material | Metal | | Outside Diameter | 1 Centimeters | | Product Dimensions | 1"L x 1"W | | UPC | 066283390047 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Gardena - **Color:** Silver - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00066283390047 - **Item Length:** 1 Inches - **Item Weight:** 0.07 Kilograms - **Manufacturer:** GARDENA - **Material:** Metal - **Outside Diameter:** 1 Centimeters - **Product Dimensions:** 1"L x 1"W - **UPC:** 066283390047 ## Images ![GARDENA Premium Tap Connector, For Adapting Threaded Water Taps to the Original Gardena System - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/312R-4Oea1L.jpg) ![GARDENA Premium Tap Connector, For Adapting Threaded Water Taps to the Original Gardena System - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31PBvLYjjzL.jpg) ![GARDENA Premium Tap Connector, For Adapting Threaded Water Taps to the Original Gardena System - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31t8jKxbm5L.jpg) ![GARDENA Premium Tap Connector, For Adapting Threaded Water Taps to the Original Gardena System - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41CCfSKorwL.jpg) ![GARDENA Premium Tap Connector, For Adapting Threaded Water Taps to the Original Gardena System - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41fimDdSS6L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this for a 3/4 thread (that is, the inner diameter is for a 3/4 thread, 26.5mm)?** A: This is considered as a "Hose Thread". Hose thread is standard throughout the industry.It is specific to a garden hose only. It is 3/4GHT (garden hose thread) not 3/4 NPT (national Pipe Thread) . Hope it helps you. **Q: does this include everything i need to connect my hose to the faucet?** A: No. To connect your hose to the faucet or hose bib you need what Gardena calls a "tap connector". The metal one costs $13.75, the plastic one costs $6.62. On the hose end you need a 39017 female garden hose connector at $11.15. They're all kind of pricey but, in my experience, they don't leak like most any other QD out there. **Q: Is this connector suitable for potable water?** A: I would think so, as long as you are using a clean hose and have not used the connector with dirty or muddy water. This a great product! **Q: Hose diameter does make a difference. I have some plastic Gardena ends from Europe, and my US garden hose is too wide and can't even be forced to fit.** A: Are you asking if there is something you can use to make them fit together? There are differences in measurements between the two countries. I would buy the US based Gardena product to use with your US hoses. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality, German-made adapters *by W***R on March 1, 2015* I've wanted to switch to some kind of quick disconnect system over the years, having seen a plot of professional/commercial applications in nurseries and the like (and tiring of the battle to spin accessories on/off hoses over the years), but up until now, nothing had been satisfactory.

(Other "buy it for life" brands I considered were Eley and Dramm, both reportedly equally good but less available on Amazon.) The internals are all metal, and the corresponding "tap" male component is also all metal. They fit with a satisfying click, do not leak, and disconnect smoothly. I did use a touch of anti-seize on the threads to head off any galvanic corrosion as a result of dissimilar metals being in contact. Don't waste your money buying inferior fittings, they will all fail within a year. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1873635-gardena-premium-tap-connector-for-adapting-threaded-water-taps-to](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1873635-gardena-premium-tap-connector-for-adapting-threaded-water-taps-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
