Honeywell GT1288A Brass Hose End Cap 5/8 Inch 2-pack

Product Description

The HONEYWELL GT1288A is a brass hose end cap designed to seal standard male hose ends measuring 5/8 inch. This fitting installs at the open end of a garden hose to protect threads and prevent water loss when the hose is not in use. Each package includes two caps, making it a practical addition to any hose maintenance kit. The brass construction provides durability and resistance to corrosion in outdoor environments. This cap is intended for cold water applications only and is not rated for hot water use. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and property maintenance professionals commonly stock these fittings for routine hose management tasks.

The GT1288A is suited for residential and light commercial outdoor water supply applications. It fits any standard male garden hose end with a 5/8 inch connection, which covers the majority of consumer and light commercial garden hose assemblies. Typical install scenarios include capping unused hose bibs, protecting stored hoses during off-season periods, and sealing hose ends on irrigation systems. This product is sold as a 2-pack, supporting multiple installation points or serving as a replacement supply.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools — hand-tighten the cap onto the male hose end until snug. Shut off the water supply at the source before attaching or removing the cap to relieve line pressure. Do not over-tighten, as brass fittings can crack or strip threads under excessive force. This fitting is intended for cold water service only and should not be installed on hot water lines or steam connections.
