Spear & Jackson BWF6 Brass Hose Connector with Water Stop

Easy to fit appears ok, need to try with pressure washer

Solid heavy duty connectors, no leaks, easy to tighten, what more do you need. Much better than the plastic ones

Nothing wrong with the product but another poor performance on the delivery (Evri).

Firm favourite. Reliable.

Plastic connectors seem to deteriorate when left in the sun, so tried this metal version. Feels solid to the touch, plus easy to connect. The water stop function means that if you pull off e.g. a spray gun device, the water will stop flowing out - making it easy to connect a different device. NB - you need to pull down on the shaft to insert/remove a device - to begin with I thought that my existing spray gun would not fit. Decent price, so can recommend.

Works perfectly paired with the same brand connector on the tap. No leaks at all and seems robust.

I have a large Hose reel by Hozelock. I put a Hozelock connecter on the hose and attached the hose to the central fitting on the reel. All was fine until I switched off the water at the gun. Then the Hozelock connecter blew off and water was everywhere. I tried other makes of fitting but all blew off. I got the brass fitting Spear & Jackson BWF6 Female Brass Hose Connector with Water Stop, Bronze. Wow, so well made, no push on and hope with this. To put it on you pull back the outer lock, put it in place on the reel, then push the lock forward. This was easily the strongest fit I have ever used. I will never use plastic again. No more pop offs.

I was a bit dubious about the cost of these items as I needed two. I needn't have worried to be honest..... they really are great. There are a couple of things you need to watch..... 1. The hosepipe "gripper" is inside the screw on and falls out very easily. I had to search around because, stupidly, I decided to put it onto the hose in the dark ! 2. When you offer the nozzle up to a tap ( mine is brass also ) it appears to not fit. It does fit but the collar on the attachment pulls down to let the ball bearings inside, push in. Its the same as most fastenings of this type. Overall I am really glad I purchased these as they are a great improvement on the plastic alternative and I have no leaks at all from the union as it grips the hose far tighter without as much tightening for some reason. A great buy.

Bought it for the waterstop which is very handy swapping several accessories on the garden hose. It works perfectly ok.

Good solid connector, no leaks.
