Use these couplings if you need frequent access to a garden hose line—a complete coupling consists of a plug and a socket that connect and disconnect quickly. The compact design makes these couplings sleeker and easier to handle than cam-and-groove garden hose couplings. Couplings have a sleeve-lock socket. Connect by sliding back the sleeve on the socket, inserting the plug, and releasing the sleeve. To disconnect, slide the sleeve back and pull out the plug.

Brass couplings have good corrosion resistance and are softer than 303 stainless steel couplings, so they’re easier to thread together. 303 stainless steel couplings are more corrosion resistant than brass couplings and have better durability than brass and plastic couplings. Couplings with shut-off valve have a valve in the socket that stops the flow of water when the coupling is separated.
