Blue female expanding hose connector, fits directly onto hose, FREE DELIVERY

Wow! This works well. I really like the expanding hoses, but I hate the way the connections start leaking - often within a few weeks which renders the expanding hose pretty useless. Standard hose connections aren't the right size, you have to have this type, which are much narrower.When one of my connectors started leaking, I just couldn't undo the connector, so bought this as a replacement.It didn't come with any instructions, but here's how I changed mine:I cut the old connector off the hose. You can see the latex pipe, surrounded by the material.Trimmed a bit off the latex pipe and tidied up the fabric surround - I had to be careful, because it unravels like mad, given the chance. Sharp scissors are essential.Unscrewed the new connector - there's a main body which clips onto the tap, a fixed nozzle, a little plastic gripper and a smaller part that the hose pushes through from the other end.Push the latex pipe and the trimmed fabric in through the thinner end of the new connector. Push the little plastic gripper on the latex pipe first, then push the gripper holding the pipe, onto the nozzle, so that a good bit of nozzle can be seen inside the latex pipe. If you look closely, you'll see two little cutouts on the base of the little plastic gripper. These correspond to two little lugs near the bottom of the nozzle. Line them up so they fit together.Make sure there is fabric going in through the connector, and screw the two parts back together. It took quite a firm push to get the screw thread to meet and engage, but it screwed up all right once the threads of the screw had shaken hands.If it's been done properly, when you connect up to the tap and turn on.. Voila! Job done!!So far, this replacement connector is working really well, no leaks or drips, but I guess it probably won't last forever. But as it's so easy to refit a new connector I'm sending off for a few more of these. Much better than a leaky, useless expanding hose that otherwise might have had to be binned.

I had a split in my expanding hose and I was just going to put it in the bin and buy a new hosepipe until I found this on amazon and ordered one didn't think it would solve the problem but for the cost it was worth a try so when it arrived I found it very easy to fit and to my surprise my hose was up and running in a couple of minutes so definitely worth a try and saved me the cost of buying a full new hosepipe.A very satisfied customer Kevin

Easily fitted, and no leaks. Full marks also for replacing the original 'lost in the post' connector, by 1st class post.

Good for but a bit flimsy

Easy to use and better quality than the original. Wish i'd seen this before i threw my first broken hose away.

I have an expanding hose which perished at the tap connection. Destined for the tip until I came across this baby.Problem solved and no leaks.

Excellent product and good delivery service Ideal for replacing damaged leaking or cheap connectors.I would not recommend buying as I did 2 connectors and a joiner to repair a hose that had blown apart I spent several hours feeding the inner hose into the outer sleeve and fitting the connectors only to find that each of the hoses blew apart leaving me with 4 hoses of different lengths and so I bought a new hose

Although it fitted into my xhose it causes the hose to fill like a water balloon and then pops straight out
