Gilmour Pro Brass Double Female Hose Connector, Swivel Hose Connector Thread Size 1/2" NPT (F) to 3/4" NH (F)

I purchased this Gilmour double female brass swivel connector to connect a standard water hose to an automatic watering bowl for animals outside. It was easy to use and tighten even with thread tape, and I like that the brass is durable. I didn't find any flaws with this product and would recommend it to anyone. 5/5 stars.If you found this review helpful, please show some love by clicking the Smiley Face button below.

The media could not be loaded. This Gilmore fitting popped up as an Amazon recommendation when I was looking at small floats that I could use in a watering system for my rabbits and one for my chickens.Im super glad it did because it made connecting a water hose really easy.Would buy again.

I needed a way to connect a garden hose to an automatic waterer i bought for my livestock. Why they didn't make it so that the garden hose could attach directly to the waterer is beyond me, but this worked like a charm to solve my problem. I did put teflon tape on the threaded plastic piece for the waterer, but it hasn't leaked at all. I like the fact that it is brass instead of plastic, it should last longer than the waterer itself I would guess.

Some reviews said that it leaked. It's really quite well constructed, with one minor deficiency, which is that the flange which the hose washer presses on isn't as wide as it could be -- it would be better if it went to a larger outside diameter. Even with the small flange, a plain old style garden hose washer, softish rubber, flat on both sides, will work fine. But one of those modern molded hard rubber (probably plastic) washers, with faces that are not smooth, can press on the flange without sealing to it. So given that a softish rubber flat hose washer will work fine, I do not understand why the manufacturer chooses to ship this adapter with one of the molded hard rubber washers which will leak. If you have this adapter and want it to not leak, just use one of those old style softish rubber flat hose washers.Other possible reasons for leaking might be that someone is trying to put the garden hose female on a 3/4 inch pipe thread, which is incompatible -- but it will usually work if you put in a double hose washer, so that the end of the pipe will contact the washer, before the incompatible thread jams and won't go any further. Note that this trick of putting a male 3/4 pipe thread into a garden hose female is not dependable, and should be used only outdoors for garden hose connections, where a failure will only result in better watering of your garden, not in flooding out your house.One last note. The male female thread on the other side of the adapter is a tapered pipe thread. It says so on the label of the adapter, but it is not specified in the description on amazon.com.

Great looking product did not fit the product I was trying to attach it. So I tried to cancel order and return it. They dont want it, but i want a refund and there is no way to do it. Need to work on that one.

Hooked it up to a water tap and a garden hose using pipe tape on the npt side and the supplied sealing ring on the garden hose side. Test my quick project and immediately started dripping, I started at hand tight then used some adjustable pliers a started leaking worse. *use a different product, don't waster your time and money*

I used this connection to extend the hose fitting line on my pressure washer. Good job and would recommend to others. Solid construction and replaced the cheat connection that came with the washer.

Leaking won’t stop
