Overview

The Holman 12mm Brass Hose Connector is the end fitting that turns a plain hose into a snap on hose. It uses Grip N Lock technology, where a separate olive with sharp teeth clamps tightly onto the hose and compresses it behind the barb on the fitting spigot. Together they form a connection that simply will not fail, so the fitting does not blow off the hose or the tap.

Machined from brass, the connector resists corrosion and handles the knocks of everyday garden and site use. The snap on connection lets you attach and release a nozzle, gun or another hose quickly with the lock mechanism.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Grip N Lock technology?

It is a hose fitting design where a separate olive with sharp teeth clamps onto the outside of the hose and compresses it behind the barb on the fitting spigot. The olive grips the hose firmly, and the lock mechanism holds the connection, so the fitting will not blow off under water pressure. The design is the same across the brass and plastic fittings in the range, so a full hose setup holds together with the same level of security.

Will this connector stop my hose leaking?

Yes, at the fitting. The high compression of the olive against the hose makes a tight seal, and the brass body holds the connection firm. The result is a fitting that does not leak at the hose end and does not pop off the tap or a gun.

Does it suit a 12mm hose?

Yes. The connector is made for a 12mm hose and carries a 12mm snap on connection. It fits the standard 12mm fittings used across the store range, including the trade hoses and multi purpose hoses.
