But another way (rather than diver lube) is pipe tape. It is cheap and "fills" in the spacing between the threads. Wind the tape - two or three times around - in the direction that you will be screwing the Gardena adapter on. So to recap - replace washer, check plastic for cracks (on both items), and use pipe tape. **Q: Can I use these on the end of a hose, so I can rapidly swap sprayer nozzles, with other end of the hose attached to spigot as normal?** A: yes, you can BUT shut off your water supply valve before you do, I use a simple on-off, valve on hose end to save steps, rather than walking back and forth **Q: when ad states that is works with 5/8 and 1/2 it's only referring to the connector, not the hose... correct??** A: It is the hose diameter. The most common residential size is 5/8. The diameter determine the flow rate. The connectors will be standard and will fit the hose you have. It's basically saying anything over 5/8 you will not get the higher flow rate or pressure. **Q: Do thsese connectors restrict the water flow? They appear to have a reducer at one end!** A: No, they do not restrict water flow. ## Frequently Bought Together - GARDENA (18270-81) 5 Piece Quick Connect Starter Set Fittings and Connectors, For any 5/8 Inch or 1/2 Inch Garden Hose, Sprinkler or Water Spray Nozzle, Made In Germany - GARDENA (N9117-FP) Frost Proof Nozzle (Variable Spray Patterns), Adjustable Flow Regulator + Water Stop --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/257906522-gardena-18270-81-5-piece-quick-connect-starter-set-fittings](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/257906522-gardena-18270-81-5-piece-quick-connect-starter-set-fittings) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-11-11*
