1/2 and 3/4-inch Metal Outdoor Tap Connector

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. The nickel-plated brass build feels solid—none of that brittle plastic flex you get with cheaper fittings. I’ve left it out in all weather and it still looks fresh. 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. I’ve used it across rinse cycles, hose swaps, and site setups—zero faff, just solid performance. Proper stash-worthy gear for anyone who wants their water line sorted and locked down. Want me to line up the next bit of hose kit, van gear, or site-ready accessories with a fresh tone? I’ve got plenty more ready to go.

Excellent quality and replaced a split plastic one. Screwed this one onto the outside tap and connected the hose, turned the tap on and not a single leak, very well made, almost a work of art. Worth the money, highly recommend this product.

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.

Night and day difference in quality over a standard plastic tap connector, for little difference in cost to buy. This Hozelock metal tap adapter looks and feels it would last a nuclear war, such is the quality and feel; certainly much longer lasting than its predecessor plastic counterparts. Great fit, alongside containing an additional plastic adapter for 1/2” BSP taps over the standard 3/4” taps it’ll fit directly.

Since this purchase I am using these connectors only and no other. Longevity, durability and precision of manufacturing are there to make perfect connection every time without leaks.

I have standardised on Hozelock hose and fittings after replacing an ancient hose pipe that had given decades of service. It may have been unnecessary, but I bought this metal hose connector to use instead of the plastic one that came with my new hose reel. So far it works well being easy to install with a good seal.

I bought this tap connector to leave permanetly attached to the outside tap in my back garden. I was annoyed with plastic tap connectors perishing after being left outside over the winter. I had the unfortunate feeling of the equivalent plastic models crunching in my hands all too many times. I wanted a permanent solution, and this metal option is truly one of the times when you will buy once and not regret it. I have left this on my outside tap for approx 6-7 years now and it still looks as good as the day it was delivered. If you were to ever get a few drips leaking then a quick application of PTFE tape would solve the issue in less than a minute. Plenty videos on Youtube that show the correct technique to apply it (who would have known there is a technique!). A worthwhile investment and I believe this will last for many years to come!

Superb quality. Robust.

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

Good

High quality

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

Impeccable très robuste je recommande, s adapte très bien aux robinets extérieurs nouvelles générations et s emboîte parfaitement aux accessoires. Par contre ça éclabousse lors du retrait, la prochaine fois je commanderai avec l'aqua stop
