Description

Gen 2 Hose Connector with Flow Control

The fitting that started it all, rebuilt from the ground up.

Adjust the flow or shut the water off right where you’re standing, without walking back to the tap. Flip the lever off, swap your spray gun, wand or other accessory, then flip it back on, all without getting wet.

Gen 2 is now made and assembled in Australia. It’s more compact, tested to be stronger and more durable than Gen 1, and backed by the same no-leak, no-burst promise Hoselink customers have relied on for over 20 years.

Fits standard 12mm garden hose
A barb and white split ring lock your hose and fitting together, so they won’t pull apart or leak. It’s designed for standard 12mm (1/2") garden hose. It uses the same connector face as the original, so it works with all your existing 12mm Hoselink fittings.

What’s new in Gen 2

  • New drum valve: A single-part cylindrical drum replaces the old ball valve. With fewer parts, it’s more resistant to damage, frost and leaks.
  • Strengthened lever: Smoother on/off action that holds up to everyday use.
  • Removable stem: Fit the stem into your hose first, so you can see it’s fully seated before you lock on the connector. It’s the same stem used on the Hose End Connector | Gen 2.
  • Shorter: 10.5mm shorter than Gen 1.
  • O-ring stays put: A new cylinder o-ring is held in the connector face, so it won’t fall out, even if you disconnect while the water’s on.
  • 3-year warranty: Built for Australian sun and weather.
  • BPA and lead free

Frequently asked questions for Hose End Connector with Flow Control | Gen 2

Q. What does the Hose Connector with Flow Control do?
A. A lever on the connector lets you turn the water on and off and adjust the flow, right at the end of your hose. You can change accessories or pause watering without walking back to the tap.

Q. What is the difference between the Gen 2 and Gen 1 Connectors?
A. Gen 2 connectors have been redesigned from the ground up and are now made and assembled in Australia. They’re lighter, more compact, and tested to be stronger and more durable than Gen 1. Every Gen 2 connector also has a new o-ring that’s held in place, so it won’t fall out.

The Gen 2 Hose Connector with Flow Control also has a new drum valve and a strengthened lever, for a smoother on/off action.

Q. Are the Gen 2 and Gen 1 Connectors compatible?
A. Yes. Gen 1 and Gen 2 connectors have the same connector face, so you can mix and match them freely.

Q. Which hoses does it fit?
A. It’s designed for a standard 12mm (1/2") garden hose, measured across the inside of the hose. It won’t fit 18mm (3/4") or other sizes.

Q. How do I fit it?
A. Fit it to the spray end of your hose, the same way you’d fit a Hose End Connector.

  • Gen 2 Hose End Connector already fitted? Unscrew the connector body and screw on the Flow Control body. The stem stays in your hose.
  • Gen 1 Hose End Connector fitted? Remove it first (see below), then fit the new connector.

Q. Can I use it at the tap end?
A. No. The valve only works with water flowing in one direction, out through the lever end. Fit it at the spray end of your hose, and use a Hose End Connector at the tap end.

Q. How do I remove it from my hose?

  1. Unscrew the nut and pull the connector body off, leaving the stem and white split ring on the hose.
  2. Use a flat-head screwdriver to lever the split ring a few centimetres back along the hose.
  3. Dip the hose end, with the stem still in it, into a cup of hot water for about a minute to soften the hose.
  4. Tip out the water. Hold the stem firmly, or stand on it, and pull the hose straight off.
