Fitted this to a standard outdoor tap for van rinses and patio hose work. Threads on smooth, no cross-threading, and once it’s on, it’s not budging.

Quick-click hose connectors snap on clean, and the seal holds under pressure. No drips, no drama. It’s the kind of fitting you forget about because it just works. 🔍 Specs & Highlights Size: ¾" threaded (fits standard UK outdoor taps) Material: Nickel-plated brass—corrosion-resistant Grip: Ribbed collar for easy hand-tightening Use: Garden hoses, pressure washers, van setups Compatibility: Works with Hozelock quick-fit hose ends 🧪 Performance Breakdown Seal Quality: Tight—no leaks even with high flow Durability: Handles knocks and weather without cracking Ease of Fit: No tools needed—twist and go Weight: Solid feel—stays put 👍 What Works ✅ Built like a tank—metal body won’t crack ✅ Quick-click ready—hose swaps are instant ✅ Weatherproof—no rust or fade ✅ Easy grip—even with wet hands ✅ Reliable seal—no water waste 👎 What to Watch ❌ Heavier than plastic—less ideal for travel setups ❌ Can seize if left on tap for months—worth a rinse now and then ❌ No flow control—just a connector ❌ Needs clean threads—won’t seal on damaged taps 🧭 Gavin’s Verdict If you want a tap fitting that’s built to take a beating and still deliver clean water flow, this Hozelock Pro connector earns its spot.

Heavy duty. Much better than the plastic tap connections.

Works really well, no leaks!

Very sturdy, being metal and has to have a longer lifespan than the plastic version that's included with the Hozelock hose reel. However, the washer isn't the correct size, causing water to leak out from the fitting. I tried swapping it with the one in the plastic version that came with my Hozelock hose reel and it fitted perfectly, with no leakage.

Let me set the scene: it was a glorious summer day, the birds were chirping, the sun was shining, and I was ready to water my garden like the horticultural hero I always knew I could be. But alas, my old plastic tap connector decided to betray me. Leaks everywhere! It was like Niagara Falls had relocated to my backyard. Enter: the HOZELOCK Outdoor Tap Connector Pro Metal—my knight in shining armor. This thing is a beast. It feels like it was forged in the fires of Mount Doom, designed to withstand the wrath of garden enthusiasts everywhere. Screwing it onto my outdoor tap was like fitting Excalibur into its rightful sheath. The connection was so snug, I almost heard a heavenly ding! as it clicked into place. And let me tell you, once this bad boy was on, it was ON. Not a single drip dared to escape its steely grip. My hose stayed firmly attached, no matter how much I yanked it around like I was trying to reel in a marlin. I half expected the tap to say, “Is that all you’ve got?” in a cocky robot voice. Plus, it looks ridiculously cool. Every time I glance at it, I feel like I’ve upgraded my garden setup to pro level. My neighbors? Jealous. My plants? Thriving. My water bill? Finally under control. If you’re tired of dodgy connectors that turn watering into a soggy slapstick routine, the HOZELOCK Outdoor Tap Connector Pro Metal is your answer. It’s so good, I almost want to write it into my will. 💧💪

Game changer the plastic ones split if you put them on tight this is solid and it doesn't leak as it can be really tight, best hose connector

Good

These are great, don't bother with plastic ones, they crack and leak. Buy once, last forever, you wont be disappointed.

un peu cher mais vraiment de la bonne qualité, manifestement ce raccord est très costaud

Good

High quality

La finition est très bonne. J’espère qu’il durera plus longtemps que la version plastique qui s’use avec le temps.

Seals well, no leaks, looks like it might last longer than plastic
