Hose connector Gardena 18213-50

The GARDENA Water Stop (hose connector model 18213-50) attaches to the hose outlet and automatically stops the water flow when a connected accessory—such as a nozzle or sprinkler—is disconnected. When an accessory is reconnected, water flows again without manual tap operation. The connector fits hoses with 13 mm (1/2") and 15 mm (5/8") diameters and is made of durable plastic in black, grey and orange, providing a secure, leak-resistant connection for garden watering tasks.

Advantages

The connector features a POWER GRIP sleeve nut shaped for a very tight fit and easy assembly. A grooved soft-plastic grip ensures the Hose Connector sits securely in the hand during use. A protective rubber ring reduces the risk of damage at the connection point and helps maintain a watertight seal.

Suitable for

• Connecting and disconnecting garden hoses quickly
• Use with nozzles, sprinklers and other watering accessories
• Hoses with 13 mm (1/2") and 15 mm (5/8") diameter
• Routine garden watering and lawn irrigation tasks

How to use

Push the connector onto the hose outlet and tighten the POWER GRIP sleeve nut until secure. Attach the desired watering accessory; the Water Stop will allow water flow. When you disconnect the accessory, the integrated stop valve closes automatically to prevent water from flowing from the hose outlet. Reattach the accessory to resume water flow. Do not force attachments; ensure correct alignment with the connector before tightening.

Recommendations

Use the connector with hoses of the specified diameters and check the rubber protection ring periodically for wear. Clean the connecting surfaces if dirt or debris accumulates to ensure a reliable seal. Avoid exposing the connector to extreme temperatures or direct prolonged sunlight to extend service life.
