Overview
The Holman 12mm Plastic Hose Joiner joins two lengths of 12mm hose with a secure Grip N Lock fitting on each side. The design uses a sharp olive with sharp teeth that lock onto the outside of the hose, so the joiner is removable but will not let go of the hose under pressure. The strong positive click connection confirms a firm join every time.
This is the plastic version of the brass joiner, sold at a lower price for everyday garden use. It is the fitting you reach for when you need to extend a hose run or repair a hose that has been cut, and it is light enough to keep as a spare in the shed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this joiner hold two hoses together?
Each end of the joiner slides onto a 12mm hose and locks in place. The sharp olive teeth grip the outside of the hose and hold it firm, joining the two hoses end to end with a connection that will not pull apart under water pressure.
What is the difference between the plastic and brass joiner?
The fitting design is the same Grip N Lock technology, but this joiner has a plastic body and the other version is machined from brass. The brass joiner is heavier and more corrosion resistant for harsh or commercial use, while the plastic joiner is a lower cost everyday fitting. Both use the same olive and lock mechanism, so the holding strength at the join is the same.
Can I take the joiner off again?
Yes. Grip N Lock fittings are designed to be removable, so you can take a hose run apart for storage or reconfiguration. The fitting stays locked on the hose while you are using it, then releases cleanly when you undo the lock.
