Quick Connect Materials and Components
The Eley Quick Connect System is made from commercial-grade, lead-free brass, and stainless-steel components.Usability
Our quick connects have standard garden thread fittings making them suitable to work with any garden hoses and watering tools. But unlike other brands that can dramatically restrict water flow and pressure, Eley quick couplers deliver an unobstructed full 3/4" flow of water volume, enabling you to perform your watering tasks faster and more effectively.
The easy release slide disengages and separates the plug from the socket with a simple downward pull. Keep in mind this works only when there is no water pressure on the quick connects. A ball valve is highly recommended to release this unwanted pressure as it acts like an ON/OFF switch to the quick connects. For this reason, Eley ball valves and quick connects go hand-in-hand to create functional usage of your hoses and garden watering tools.

Maintenance
Made from heavy-duty material, the quick connect O-rings will provide leak-proof performance time and time again. For best results, we recommend applying ELEY Silicone Grease to each O-ring. Our silicone grease is specifically designed for this material and one application per year will extend the life and make the engage/disengagement action much easier. DO NOT USE ANY PETROLEUM-BASED LUBRICANT, WHICH WILL DAMAGE THE O-RING. Using this type of chemical lubricant will swell the O-ring making the components harder to pull apart. Spray silicone will usually have a propellant, petroleum or hydrocarbon element in them which are all incompatible with our EPDM O-rings. We use EPDM because of its outstanding resistance to water, heat, ozone, steam, and weather. And we insist on 100% silicone lubricants because of its compatibility with EPDM and food and water safety. Even if the can or tube says it’s silicone, it does not necessarily mean it is 100% pure silicone grease. For instance, spray and plumber’s silicone will make the O-rings gummy and sticky due to that chemical additives.
Why lubricate? Is lubrication really that important?
YES! If not lubricated this can also cause the components to stick, make the release more difficult, or even break the O-ring!

Note: It’s important to keep your hand off of the female coupler while engaging the plug. This way the pins are in the correct location and not pushed back. This will allow for proper engagement and a secure attachment.

Lastly, if you do find yourself with a broken O-ring, we 
sell replacements on our website including the female socket O-ring and the male plug O-ring.
