Product Details
Product Overview & Key Features
The Hozelock Pro Metal Aqua Stop Hose Connector is a premium, heavy-duty quick-connect fitting engineered explicitly for the accessory or gun end of your garden hosepipe system. Built to bridge commercial-grade resilience with everyday domestic usability, this connector eliminates the hassle of walking back to the tap when switching watering appliances. Featuring a robust engineered plastic core layered underneath a zinc die-cast metal outer sleeve, it provides unparalleled scratch, crush, and impact protection across demanding outdoor landscapes.
- Internal Aquastop Valve: Intelligently shuts off water pressure the exact millisecond an accessory is uncoupled, allowing dry, spill-free tool modifications without wasting a drop.
- Dual Size Compatibility: Precision engineered to provide an airtight, snug fitment onto both 12.5mm and 15mm internal diameter hosepipes.
- 10 Bar Triple Locking System: Provides a secure connection mechanism that completely locks onto the hose framework, remaining safely joined at water pressures up to 10 bar.
- Anti-Kink Flexible Tail: Built with an elongated flexible hose-tail on the compression nut that eliminates heavy hose bends, swells, and structural leaks directly at the union point.
How to Install & Operate the Collar
First, trim the hose tip cleanly to remove any jagged plastic profiles. Unscrew the heavy-duty rear nut, slip it onto the hose, and push the open pipe firmly into the internal barbs until it hits the deep seating stop. Screw the compression tail nut firmly over the threads without over-tightening. To alter attachments under pressure, use the soft-touch textured pads to slide the collar backward; the integrated stop valve seals the flow line instantly, permitting a dry transition to alternative guns, lances, or sprinklers.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What does the 'Aquastop' feature do?
The Aquastop is an internal, spring-loaded check valve that immediately cuts off the onward water stream when you detach an appliance. This allows you to smoothly swap between spray guns, trigger nozzles, and lawn sprinklers without turning off the mains tap or getting splashed.
2. What sizes of hose is this connector suitable for?
This Pro Metal component features a dual-fit sizing system that perfectly accommodates both standard 12.5mm and 15mm internal diameter structural garden hosepipes.

⚠️ High-Pressure Coupling Care & Storage Precautions
APPLICATION SAFETY: Ensure your hosepipe material is sliced flat and inserted entirely into the locking teeth before twisting down the compression sleeve to avoid dangerous blowouts under pressure. Avoid structural over-tightening of the rear lock nut to prevent internal thread distortion. During heavy winter or frost periods, store the connector inside a dry, sheltered location to prevent inner component freeze damage. Keep completely clear of children and domestic animals.
Please read the physical manual charts and configuration maps printed on the individual backing board package completely before use.
