Dramm22729 Heavy-Duty Quick Disconnect Brass

Solid, well made quick disconnect. It does not shut off the water when disconnecting so you may want a disconnect ahead of it when changing heads, etc. I'll tell you in ten years or so if it is as well made as I think it is.

These Dramm 22729 Quick Disconnects are great! Easy to use, and they don't leak. These are kind of expensive. But they are solid brass and will last a long time.One thing I would advise when you're screwing the female connector end onto your spigot is that you install the complete unit (both male and female connector pieces) as one piece connected together. If you don't, you'll screw the female end in too far, and then the male end won't be able to make the proper connection. But once you've screwed both on as one unit and tightened the female end down (just snuggly) then you can disconnect the male end that goes on your hose from the female end that you just screwed onto your spigot, and then test it to make sure that it'll connect properly before you attach it to your hose. It should disconnect and re-connect with no problems BEFORE you attach it to your hose. If it doesn't, then you've somehow screwed the female end in too far, thus it won't connect. Then you'll have to loosen the female connector just a tad until the male connector can make the proper connection and disconnection with ease.

I have these connectors for 3 years and they are still in good shape. Others barely lasted one summer with leaking. They are built to last and have no trouble.

Had purchased some other connectors but they were no match for the Dramm. Installed easy and when connected they were solid connections with no give between the 2 parts.

I am using these to flip-flop a garden hose from inside and outside spigots. Works great. Leak free so far and very easy to move this hose. Installed on the bib with some Teflon tape and all has been well.
