It is very easy twist or kink a garden hose when moving it around the garden. This can lead to a drop in water pressure or even cause damage to the fabric of the hose. To prevent this happening, a rotating connector allows the hose to be moved without twisting as the connector rotates with the movement of the hose. This connector fits directly on to any threaded garden tap.
Made from solid brass, this connector is a worthwhile investment for any gardener. Cast brass watering systems are the choice of the professional horticulturist. Used in public gardens, parks, garden centres and nurseries, this manufacturer has an excellent reputation for producing well made, high performance watering systems and parts. All fittings are made from solid brass rather than plastic making them extremely durable and long lasting.
Plastic fittings, although cheaper, will degrade when exposed to the UV radiation from the sun and will soon start to perish and crack meaning they need to be replaced often and represent poor value for money. Brass is not susceptible to UV light nor will it corrode allowing these fittings to be used year after year making them better value for money, over time, than plastic fittings.
Fittings are made in Germany and simply twist together making the whole system very quick to assemble. Rubber inserts within the fittings ensure a water tight seal and the seal becomes stronger as the water pressure through the system increases. All of the components, regardless of internal diameter are designed to fit together. These components are certified to work at temperatures between -30 to 100 degrees Celsius meaning the external temperature should not affect your work.
