Gilmour 871514-1001 Garden Hose Connector Male 3/4 in

Product Description

The GILMOUR 871514-1001 is a male garden hose connector designed for standard 3/4-inch threaded hose connections. Constructed from metal for durability in outdoor water supply applications, this fitting threads onto the male end of a hose or water source to establish a secure, leak-resistant connection. At 0.05 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component suited for quick repairs or hose-end replacements. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and general maintenance professionals keep fittings like this on hand for fast turnaround on common hose connection failures.

This connector is appropriate for residential and light commercial irrigation, outdoor spigot connections, and general garden hose assemblies. It is typically used to restore a damaged or stripped hose end, connect a hose to a threaded water source, or adapt existing hose runs. The single-piece design makes it straightforward to install without specialized tooling in most standard 3/4-inch threaded hose applications.

Key Features

• Male connector type for direct thread engagement on compatible 3/4-inch fittings
• 3/4-inch thread size matches the most common garden hose standard
• Metal construction provides resistance to outdoor wear and UV degradation compared to plastic alternatives
• Compact profile at 1.4 inches length for low-profile hose end installations
• Sold individually, allowing single-unit replacement without purchasing a multi-pack

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement connector for standard 3/4-inch threaded garden hose systems commonly found in residential and light commercial irrigation setups.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply at the source before removing or installing any hose end fitting. Hand-tighten first, then use pliers or a strap wrench to snug the connection without overtightening, which can distort the threads. Inspect the existing hose ferrule or end for damage before installing the replacement connector. This type of fitting is typically installed by general maintenance personnel or irrigation technicians without requiring licensed trade certification.
