GardenaPremium Water Stop, 13 mm (1/2 inch) - 15 mm (5/8 inch): Water Stop, Frost-Resistant, Packaged (18253-20)

Simple the best quality hose ends you can buy. We use them on the small holding and they’re out in all times of the year. Never failed yet.

The build quality of these makes them worth every penny. I’m slowly upgrading my hosepipe and irrigation pipe connectors from Hozelock to Gardena. I’ve reliably used Hozelock for years, but their plastic fittings eventually go brittle, even with careful use, leading to leaks.The premium range from Gardena is allegedly frost-resistant. I’m not planning to leave them exposed to the elements over winter, but this should hopefully mean they withstand the cold in the shed better than the all-plastic versions.

i bought this in conjunction with some other gardena products as a) i was fed up with dripping and leaks b) i liked the idea of being able to change spray guns without having to turn the tap off.as far as point 2 is concerned, this so far seems to be working a charm. I can now have the tap on full and no water comes out the end, not even a drip until i connect a spray gun or sprinkler. This is the kind of cheap useful technology i love. as for point 1, there are so far no leaks out of the device, but I am waiting to see with the full Gardena connector setup if my leaks have been eliminated. If the tap connector end works aswell as this then I will be well pleased.Only negatives for me so far are that it feels a little bit plasticy, but that is fine. still 5 stars over all. I marked the value to 4 stars as the hozelock equivalent is half the price but i don't know how good that one is to compare.Thanks

No water leaks even at high pressure, I buy one pair for my sprayer and tap. It’s expensive but it works, I love them very much so I use them immediately.

Premium product for a reason… I prefer to pay a little bit more for this one

I’ve struggled in the past with hoses constantly leaking or spraying everywhere when switching attachments, so I decided to try the Gardena Premium Water Stop, and it’s been a game-changer. It instantly stops the water flow when disconnecting, which makes changing hoses or attachments completely hassle-free.Installation was quick and easy, and the build quality feels very solid and durable. It may seem like a small accessory, but it has made my garden watering routine so much tidier and more convenient.Highly recommend for anyone who’s tired of the mess and frustration of traditional hose connections! Honestly, so much better than what I had before and good value for money I find. Had it for about 2 years now and still as amazing as on day one :)!

Does the job perfectly

A bit expensive but better quality then the low-budget ones. Keep away from the dog though: he will damage this one just as quick.
