Garden Hose Quick Connect Sets

The ELEY quick-connect system is the most rugged, reliable, and trouble-free connector available. Made from commercial-grade, drinking water safe, lead-free ECO brass, both massive components deliver an unobstructed full flow of 3/4-inch water volume, enabling you to perform your watering tasks faster and more effectively. The socket's two innovative sliding stainless-steel pins lock the plug into a firm, leak-proof connection. Standard 3/4-inch garden hose threads (GHT) are suitable for use with any brand of garden hose, faucet, or watering tool. Also, unlike aluminum fittings, all-brass ELEY fittings will never weld (galvanically corrode) themselves to brass faucets or watering tools.

With our innovative Push-n-Click design, simply push the plug into the socket until you hear (or feel) the "click of the stainless steel pins engaging the groove on the plug for a firm, water-tight seal. Releasing the connection is just as easy as a slight 1/8-inch pull-down on the socket's Easy-Release-Sleeve will disengage the pins and free the two connector pieces.

ELEY's cutting-edge design places our extreme-duty O-ring seal on the plug instead of inside the socket because it delivers a more reliable and long-lasting leak-free seal and makes it easier to inspect, lubricate, and replace the O-ring when necessary. Our Garden Hose Quick Connect Maintenance Kit (Item #1185, sold separately) comes with a 100% Silicone grease tube and 10 replacement O-rings. A thin coating of the silicone grease applied to the O-ring once or twice per year will extend its life and keep the engagement and disengagement of the two pieces smooth and easy.

This short video demonstrates how dramatically the ELEY quick-connect system can make outdoor watering activities more efficient and enjoyable.

To disengage a connected socket and plug, the water pressure in the hose must first be released. If you plan on placing a quick connector at the end of your garden hose for changing out watering tools, you may want to consider adding an ELEY shut-off valve first. Without a shut-off valve, in order to release the water pressure, you would have to either 1) walk back to the faucet to turn the water off or 2) kink the hose near the end of the hose. A better method would be to first attach an ELEY shut-off valve on the end of the hose and then thread the quick-connect socket onto the shut-off valve. This would allow you to shut off the water flow, release the pressure with the watering tool, and then disengage the quick connect set. ELEY offers two shut-off valves. Item #1117 is a straight shut-off valve. Item #1116 (shown in this video) is the same valve, but equipped with a swivel fitting, allowing you to rotate the valve, once tightened down, to position the ON/OFF lever in a desired position.
