My previous plastic garden hose connector broke.
I went down to home depot and all they had were similar plastic connectors for 3/4" and 5/8" garden hoses. It's the kind where you shove one piece as far down as it can go and then you clamp it using a plastic collar and then tighten the screws. Sorry for not knowing what things are actually called.
This one won't stay on when I there is pressure in the hose. I can get it to stay on if I run the hose through the spray nozzle, but as soon as I stop the water and let the pressure build, it comes busting off at the connector.
Am I not shoving it down far enough or are these things junk? Should I just look for a brass connector and a metal clamp?
Any advice appreciated.
