Tesmotor Garden Hose Tap Connector Fitting

Product Information

Expandable hoses come with a tough woven fabric outer layer that allows them to expand and contract. Hose adapters are a must-have necessity in any green space, allowing you to connect your hose pipe to various types of taps. And, like all fittings, to prevent frost damage, they should be drained down in winter with any valves left on the open position. Some hose pipe fittings, such as shut-off valves or adjustable nozzles, offer control over the water flow. We've tested a range of hose brands, using them in different gardens and situations to help you find the right one for your garden.

Hose pipe fittings are small devices that provide a robust and leak-proof connection between your garden tap and hose pipe. This connection allows for seamless water flow, making essential garden tasks like watering your plants, cleaning your patio or filling your garden pond effortless and efficient. The type of hose pipe fitting you require is dictated by the task you’re undertaking and the type of tap your garden has. Next, simply screw the connector or adapter onto your tap and push your hose pipe onto the other end of the connector.Hose lock connections are quick and easy to attach, which makes them a popular connection for window cleaners, car detailers and every day outdoor applications. The hose is lightweight but still felt sturdy and we liked the angled connector which reduces the chance of kinking.

Connectors are usually made in either plastic or brass and while there are different grades of plastic, it’s fair to say that the brass connectors will be the most long-lasting. When the hose is filled with water it fully expands up to 30m, or three times its length, retracting back to its original size in next to no time when you turn the tap off.A brass outer compression ring can be tightened more to improve the ‘bite’ into the hose than their plastic equivalent. Male fittings refer to those with threads on the outside, while female fittings have threads on the inside. In general, a textured outer layer will attach more securely to the tap connector than smooth alternatives, and will be less likely to burst off the nozzle or tap connector while it’s in use. Each hose has a detailed list of pros and cons for clarity and has been rated according to preparation and storage, handling and performance, quality and features and value for money .
