Gilmour 877014-1002 Hose Connector Male 3/4 Inch Nh Metal

Product Description

The GILMOUR 877014-1002 is a male-to-male garden hose connector designed to join two female-threaded hose ends in a single straight coupling. Machined from metal for durability, it uses standard 3/4-inch NH (National Hose) threads on both ends. At 0.08 pounds, the fitting is lightweight without sacrificing thread integrity under typical hose pressure. Plumbers, irrigation techs, and experienced DIYers reach for this type of fitting when two hose sections need to be bridged end-to-end or when a hose-end adapter is required for tool connections.

This connector suits residential and light commercial outdoor water supply applications: garden irrigation, pressure washing setups, hose reel connections, and general hose extension work. The 3/4-inch NH thread is the universal standard for garden hose fittings in North America, making this connector a practical fit across a wide range of hose brands and accessories. Its compact footprint — 1.13 inches wide and 4.5 inches in height — keeps it low-profile in tight connection scenarios.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement garden hose connector compatible with 3/4-inch NH female-threaded hose ends, as typically found on residential and light commercial garden hoses and hose accessories.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply at the source before making or breaking any hose connection. Thread both female hose ends onto the connector by hand first, then snug with pliers if needed — avoid over-tightening metal fittings, which can deform hose washers and cause leaks. A rubber hose washer seated in each female fitting is recommended to ensure a drip-free seal; inspect existing washers for cracks before reuse. This fitting does not require tools beyond standard slip-joint pliers.
