Gardena Premium Water Stop, 13 mm (1/2 inch) - 15 mm (5/8 inch): Water Stop, Frost-Resistant, Packaged (18253-20) [Energy Class A+]

Excellent quality. Much better than the cheaper plastic alternatives.

i bought this in conjunction with some other gardena products as a) i was fed up with dripping and leaks b) i liked the idea of being able to change spray guns without having to turn the tap off.as far as point 2 is concerned, this so far seems to be working a charm. I can now have the tap on full and no water comes out the end, not even a drip until i connect a spray gun or sprinkler. This is the kind of cheap useful technology i love. as for point 1, there are so far no leaks out of the device, but I am waiting to see with the full Gardena connector setup if my leaks have been eliminated. If the tap connector end works aswell as this then I will be well pleased.Only negatives for me so far are that it feels a little bit plasticy, but that is fine. still 5 stars over all. I marked the value to 4 stars as the hozelock equivalent is half the price but i don't know how good that one is to compare.Thanks

This is excellent. I got one and now intend to replace my HozeLocks. The HozeLocks leak; this does not - not a drop. It grips tenaciously. And the icing on the cake is that when you disconnect whatever it's attached to, it automatically stops the water.I've been repeatedly blasted in the face by the HozeLocks snapping off while using a garden fertiliser sprayer attachment (Birchmeister- worth every penny), and sending a jet of water all over me. Then the water gushing out while you trek back to the tap, re-attach, walk back to turn on again, walk back to the hose. No more!It's more expensive I assume than the others but worth it.

I purchased a few of the various Gardena Premium Frost Resistant Water Stop and also the Hose Connectors.Excellent Premium quality products from Gardena with 5 year warranty so again keep your reciept and packaging.Very sturdy and well built products that compliments when used with Gardena hoses and reels.I have used this brand for years and found them better than the other well known competitor brandsEast to fit to hose. Easy grip and simple to attach and remove.Again only niggle is price of products but you are getting 5 year warranty so that more than makes up for that issue.Would recommend Gardena garden hose reels and their products but that is only my own personal opinion and others may disagree.Hope this helps

Good quality auto water stop hose connector. Got it to replace the hozelock one that stopped working after frost damage from leaving out over winter. Hopefully this one will last longer

A quality product with metal parts, should last. Reccomend

First class. I recommend it for quality.

Great hose connector, didn't leak (not like the hose lock ones) excellent product will buy again.
