tap Connector 21 mm (G 1/2 inch): Adapter for Connecting a Water Hose, Anti-Splash Technology, Frost-Proof, Original System (18220-20)

Great connector

I have bought many Gardena products and all have worked as expected. This item however will twist onto my faucet. The threads are not cut right so it won’t go on. I have tried contacting the seller and received absolutely no response. Don’t recommend.

I've used Gardena connectors for many years. However, I have noticed that their small diameter significantly reduces water flow. That means that it takes a LOT longer to water the space than it would have taken if I had used a 5/8-inch connector. Fortunately, the latter are available, and I am switching. Also, the Gardena connectors work loose as the hoses are moved, creating a LOT of leakage.My recollection is that 40 years ago, the Gardena products were really great. Quality has hugely deteriorated over the years, and I can understand why most stores have dropped their line.
