How to Easily Connect a Garden Hose to Your Water Source: 3 Ways

Connecting a garden hose to the faucet should be fast and easy, but it often isn't. Threading a garden hose to a faucet takes up time when gardening and wears down the threads a bit more each time. With garden hose quick connectors, you can push the hose straight into the faucet instead of threading it on. Made of either metal or plastic, these fittings disconnect with equal ease by pulling back on the retractable collar. Quick connectors extend the life of hose and faucet threads by preserving delicate brass threads. Brass hose quick connectors last long and resist cracking. Plastic quick connectors should be replaced every year or two.
