Spear & Jackson BWF6 Female Brass Hose Connector with Water Stop, Bronze, 1/2-inch

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

Firm favourite. Reliable.

Well fit to its spray gun. Having used for almost a year, no water leakage from the connection. Pricewise a bit high.

After constantly replacing Hozelock connectors (even the metal-body Pro’s - they still fail to latch after a while), this has the durability I was after. There are only two downsides after a month or two of testing - the securing ring that clamps the hose in has a tendency to loosen after a while (allowing a bit of a leak) but that’s easy to keep on top of. The other ‘issue’ is that you *will* get soaked if you try to connect a tool while this is under pressure. Easy fix is obviously to turn the tap off - easy unless you are 30m down the garden and want to use another tool. Overall, I’ll take the robustness and inconvenience over the frailty and convenience of the Hozelock connectors.

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