The gardena premium water stop hose pipe connector is a high quality fitting designed to provide convenient control of water flow directly at the hose end, eliminating the need to walk back to the tap when changing watering accessories. This premium connector features a robust metal and plastic construction that combines durability with ergonomic handling. The automatic water stop function interrupts flow as soon as you disconnect a spray nozzle, sprayer or spray lance, then resumes when you attach a new watering accessory. This time saving feature is particularly useful for professional gardeners and groundskeepers who frequently switch between different watering tools throughout the day. The connector incorporates integrated kink protection to prevent the hose slipping out during use, whilst the extended metal locking nut ensures an exceptionally strong and secure hose hold. Grooved recessed grips made from soft plastic provide comfortable handling even during extended use or when working with wet hands. Suitable for standard 1 2 inch garden hoses, this connector is ideal for landscaping professionals, estate maintenance contractors and keen gardeners who demand reliable performance. Backed by a comprehensive 5 year warranty, it demonstrates gardena's confidence in the product's long term durability.
