Joining 2 pieces of hose.

Hi All,

What can I use to connect two pieces of the same kind of hose together to make a longer length so I can water the bottom of the garden? Even the Elderberry trees are struggling in this weather.

Thanks

 

one of these

and two of these

 

@Fern4 , as BigC said you can use a connector set like this ( £6.99 )
HOSE END CONNECTOR&DOUBLE MALE(COMPATIBLE WITH HOZELOCK,2166,2291,HOSE FITTING 3824312097858 | eBay
or the Hozelock stuff at £12.99
Hozelock 2166 x 2 Hose end connector 2291 Double Male Connector 5055995506070 | eBay

 

If it is just a simple join that is required then:

99p from Wickes
Wickes Garden Hose Repair Connector | Wickes.co.uk


Wilko and B&Q also sell them for 99p in store.

 

What's the TAP end of a hosepipe?

 

which connects to the tap connector

 

Fern the tap end is where the hose connects to your outside tap . Usually a Hozelock type quick connector, as photo.
If your connection is permanent the Wickes connector MisterQ suggested is perfect

 

All the above stuff (apart from mrq's post) seems rather expensive.

I saw a fitting to connect the ends of 2 hosepipes for only 50p in the gardening aisle of my local Tesco this morning.

 

I seem to remember getting away with a short length of copper pipe and a couple of jubilee clips many years ago.
Not easy to take apart though.

 

Those Silver and Gold one's are very expensive @shiney ...we're trying to cut costs here hahahaha

 

I have used plastic barbed hose connectors , connect hose and use 2 jubilee clips . The ones I found on Ebay seem more expensive than the Wilko connecctor.

 

Oh they make you go round the back do they?
I normally use the front entrance.
