Garden Hose Fittings
These fittings are for garden hose, not irrigation pipe. Tap connectors, hose connectors, repair joiners and splitters for watering by hand. Building an automatic watering system with 13mm supply pipe or 4mm micro tube? See our irrigation fittings.
Every fitting for your garden hose in one place, from Hozelock and Claber: tap connectors, hose end connectors with or without water stop, repair joiners, Y splitters, tap splitters and manifolds, and heavy-duty brass fittings. Most click-style hose fittings work together, so you can mix and match across brands.
Plastic or brass?
- Plastic click-fit fittings from Hozelock are light, cheap to replace and easy to use with wet hands. They suit most gardens. See our full Hozelock connector range.
- Brass fittings from Claber, such as the 9610 quick connector, 9611 AutoStop, 9604 tap connector and 9612 hose mender, stand up to being dropped, trodden on and left out in frost. They're worth it for hoses that get heavy use. See all our brass hose fittings.
Check your hose size
Most garden hoses are 1/2" (12.5mm). Larger 3/4" (19mm) hoses carry more water over long runs and suit sprinklers and big gardens. Check the size before you buy, as a connector made for one size won't grip the other properly:
- 1/2" hose: Hozelock connectors (most also fit 15mm, 5/8"), and the Claber 9610, 9611 and 9612.
- 3/4" hose: the Claber 9613 and 9614 AutoStop connectors and the 9615 joiner.
Our guide to 1/2" vs 3/4" hose explains the difference.
Running more than one hose from a tap
Turn one tap into two, three or four outlets with a tap splitter: the Hozelock 2-way, 3-way and 4-way connectors, or brass splitters such as the 2-way Y splitter and 4-way manifold with shut-offs. They're ideal for running a watering timer and a hose from the same tap. See all our tap splitters and manifolds.
Frequently asked questions
What does AquaStop or AutoStop do?
Fit an AquaStop (Hozelock) or AutoStop (Claber) connector on the end of the hose and the water stops when you unclip a spray gun or sprinkler. You can swap tools without going back to the tap.
Why is my hose connector leaking?
Usually it's a worn O-ring or washer. A pack of O-rings or silicone sealing washers fixes most leaks.
