Gilmour 801224-1001 Brass Male Hose Coupler 0.5 Inch

Product Description

The GILMOUR 801224-1001 is a brass male hose coupler designed to connect and extend garden hose runs at standard 0.5-inch hose connections. Constructed from solid brass, this coupler resists corrosion and handles the mechanical stress of repeated connect and disconnect cycles in outdoor water supply applications. The male connector type mates with standard female hose fittings and couplings. At 0.05 pounds, the fitting is lightweight without sacrificing durability. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and landscape professionals use this fitting for both repair and new installation work on residential and light commercial hose systems.

This coupler is suited for residential garden hose systems, drip irrigation supply lines, and outdoor water distribution setups where a reliable male-threaded brass connection is required. It installs in situations where a hose end has been damaged or where two hose sections need to be joined with a durable metal fitting rather than a plastic alternative. The 0.5-inch inside diameter matches the most common garden hose size in residential use.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and long service life in outdoor water applications
• Male connector type mates with standard female garden hose couplings
• 0.5-inch compatible hose diameter fits the most common residential garden hose size
• Compact profile at 1.5 inches length and 1.3 inches width for tight installation spaces
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds, reducing strain on hose connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for standard 0.5-inch inside diameter garden hose systems using male threaded brass couplers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with adjustable pliers — avoid over-tightening brass fittings, which can crack female threaded plastic hose ends. Shut off the water supply at the source valve before removing or installing any hose coupler. Teflon thread tape applied to the male threads can help ensure a leak-free seal at the joint. This type of fitting is typically installed by irrigation technicians, plumbers, or experienced DIYers familiar with standard hose thread connections.
