Know before you buy
Yes, these connectors are designed for standard 3/4-inch Garden Hose Thread (GHT) connections, which is the industry standard for residential garden hoses and spigots.
The Gilmour 4020 is a male quick connector set. You will need to ensure you have the corresponding female quick-connect adapter on your hose or attachments to complete the connection.
Yes, the heavy-duty solid brass construction is built for durability and can remain attached to your hose throughout the season. However, it is recommended to disconnect and store them indoors during freezing winter temperatures to prevent potential damage.
No, these connectors do not feature a shut-off capability. Water will continue to flow through the hose when the attachment is disconnected, so you will need to turn off the water at the spigot first.
No, these connectors are not lead-free. They are intended for outdoor garden use and should not be used for drinking water applications.
