LIULO TOOL 8 Sets Garden Hose Quick Connector, 3/4 Inch Plastic Water Hose Fittings Male and Female Connectors Hose Adapters

Excellent. When I was in kindergarten, my father worked for a major national catalog/retail chain in their hardware department selling their legendary lifetime warranty tools. He equipped every outdoor faucet, hose, sprinkler nozzle (and even the little fire hydrant for a toy fire truck that I had) with bronze quick-disconnect fittings from that hardware brand. They lasted for decades and worked great. Years later my wife and I have gone through numerous hose disconnects from home improvement stores. While the experience starts out great they end up with problems because of the metals used - even with plating. They corrode and fuse together, bind up with salt deposits if used to fill the pool, fuse to the vacuum breaker valve on the hose bib after binding up, and have to be removed with a cutting disk on a dremel. Fed up, we turned to Amazon, and found a number of plastic options that won’t suffer corrosion and fusing. Unfortunately a lot of them came in kits with flipped genders so half the fittings wouldn’t be used. Then we found this set male/female pairs in a set of 8, at such an affordable price that even if they only last 3 years like the metal ones have, they’ll be an easy and inexpensive replacement without needing to grind anything off. They fit and work great, sealing well. The female QD ends of the fittings (which screw over a male threaded connection like a hose bib) have a built in check valve, so water won’t flow unless a male fitting is plugged into them. This physically interfered with putting them on the vacuum breaker valves on our hose bibs. If you have this problem, or just want your hose to be open ended to let the water flow with nothing plugged in, just remove the o-ring from the white plastic valve core and the let the core drop out the other side. It’s just as easy to reinstall if you want to put it back in.

Just a heads up that these have flapper check valve in them, which sometimes I want coz it saves me a trip to the faucet to shut off the water before I change a hose attachment. But then other times I want connectors without the check valve so hoses will drain. Its just a matter of what you need or your preference. Theses are well built and connect smoothly. I recommend.

Finally, I found the exact things I was looking for. They screw onto the hose end and go into the nozzle, sprinkler, sprayer, etc. and they have a stopper so you can pop one attachment off and put another on without water shooting everywhere.

These are com patible with melnor quick connects. These units have a blocking function when the two pie3ces are disconnected. Great for hose en d. May not be what you want at the faucet when a freeze hits w/ the hose disconnected. These are stiff to connect. You need to push hard to get a solid connection . If a solid connection is not made water will not flow due to blocking fuction and it will easily fall off. Suggest connect and then pull to assure a strong connection.

These work really well. I have a Melnor connector that came with a sprinkler and I really liked it, but they are far more expensive. These are completely compatible with the Melnor coupler and appear almost identical. No leaks from one hose where I installed them on both ends of the hose and only the smallest drip on the end of another hose which turned out to be a defective end coupler. There is a small white plastic cross that is inside the coupler but was missing in this one, but it still worked albeit with a small leak (3 drips/minute) but even with that one defective part, these are an excellent value and work really well, much better than the brass ones that I had from a discount tool store (HF). I would buy again without hesitation. The defective coupler is the lower left one.

Great price, fits and works great. Perfect for what I needed.

These do interchange with the Melnor versions but they don't work on all hoses or hose bibbs. On the female threaded end there is a white plastic plunger that is pushed up into the Hose Bibb or hose end when the grey insert piece is snapped into the quick connect. (See photos) If your hose bibb or hose doesn't have room for this, it stops the insert from going in. 4 out of 6 at my house don't have room for this and neither do some of the watering timers or the "miracle" hoses. The Melnor ones don't have this issue but they cost a lot more.

I have these in my chicken runs. We have been using these for several months through the thick of the Georgia heat and have not had a single failure. These are water STOP connectors. Can't remember what the actual term is but they stop the flow when you disconnect them. IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure to turn off the hose and open whatever you are connecting when you connect them, because there is water pressure pushing on the water stop and you have to overcome this pressure when you connect it.

En llaves nariz con rosca corta no se pueden usar ... Es un sistema diferente a los truper dónde el diámetro interior de la llave o tubo donde se ponen interfiere con el cierre del conector. Con truper no he tenido problemas. En algunos casos quedan bien, pero para adivinar o que todas las aplicaciones sean con diámetro interior amplio está difícil
