[Shop-talk] air hose fittings - garden hose couplers

[Brian Kemp]

+1 on the ability to twist the nozzle without twisting the garden hose.  I also insert a shutoff similar to the link below between the end of the hose and the quick disconnect.

There are garden hose couplers with an auto-cut-off feature but it is fairly rare and far from universal.
 
One advantage to these is they twist so you can aim the spray nozzle without twisting the hose and possibly unscrewing the connection.

Years ago I was at some garden shop and I saw some quicj release hose fittings.  I thought cool, just like my air hose fittings.  I bought some, put them on the garden hose and various sprinklers and such. First day I had them, I figured they were just like my air hose fittings.  I went to uncouple a sprayer from the main hose, which still had full pressure on it.A mistake you only make once.mjb._______________________________________________Shop-talk at autox.team.net (mailto:Shop-talk at autox.team.net)Donate: Suggested annual donation  $12.96Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/shop-talk (http://www.team.net/donate.html) Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/shop-talk/dave1massey@cs.com (http://autox.team.net/archive)
