Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose brass fittings over plastic or zinc alternatives?
Brass fittings offer superior durability and corrosion resistance compared to plastic or zinc options, making them a trusted choice for both residential and professional use. Nylex brass fittings, like the 12mm Brass Hose Connector and 12mm Brass Joiner, are built to handle moderate to high temperatures and pressures, so they last longer and perform reliably in demanding applications.
What's the difference between a tap adaptor and a hose connector?
A tap adaptor like the 12mm Brass Tap Adaptor screws onto your tap to provide a secure click-on point for hose fittings. A hose connector like the 12mm Brass Hose Connector attaches to the end of your hose to click into that adaptor (or any compatible fitting). You typically need both the tap adaptor on the tap and the hose connector on the hose to create a quick-release connection.
How do I run multiple hoses or sprinklers from one tap?
You'll need a manifold. The 2 Way Manifold Brass lets you run two separate hose lines from a single tap with individual shut-off valves on each outlet, while the 4 Way Manifold Brass expands that to four outlets, perfect for setting up irrigation zones, running a sprinkler and a hose simultaneously, or managing multiple watering tasks without constantly swapping fittings.
Is there a brass fitting starter kit for general use?
Yes, the 12mm 3Pc Fitting Set Brass is a great all-rounder, including two brass hose connectors and a brass tap adaptor. It covers the essentials needed to connect a standard 12mm garden hose to your tap, making it ideal for anyone setting up a new hose or upgrading existing plastic fittings to longer-lasting brass.
What do I need to connect a sprinkler to my hose?
You'll need a sprinkler adaptor, such as the 12mm Brass Sprinkler Adaptor, which screws into the threaded inlet on most sprinklers and converts it to a standard click-on fitting. Pair it with the 12mm Brass Hose Connector on your hose end for a quick, secure connection that's easy to disconnect when you need to move or store your sprinkler.
