Garden hose Quick connector, shut off valve and fire hose nozzle
Does anyone have opinion about the AG quick connector, shut
off valve and fire hose nozzle? Saw some on another site that
looked much nicer and better made... But lots more $. Appreciate your feedback. Thnx

I personally dont like the fire hose nozzels, most of them are knock offs, i have heard the Bulls eye hose nozzel is very good though

Dramm shutoffs and quick connectors are better than gilmour. Look for it at your local nursery or online gardening store. Gilmour stuff always go bad. I've had a few gilmour stuff go bad (leaking) within a year.

Do you like the gun style?

Re: Garden hose Quick connector, shut off valve and fire hose nozzle
I like the disconnects that AG sells. I have at least 6. They appear to be Gilmour brand and have been working well. The Gilmour shut off is ok (mostly brass) but I wanted a full flow types (large internal diameter) so I like the one from Dramm.
I prefer the gun nozzle type sprayer over fire hose since you get fixed streams and does not change. However, I have not been able to find a durable one (RapidReel has a promising one) that does not start leaking after a year so I use a fire hose nozzle due to durability more often.

I have the shutoff and quick disconnects and I love them when using the foam gun it's great and really fast to switch

One thing to look for as to the 'quick connects'...how big is the opening the water flows thru. Some are really small, especially the plastic ones.

This shows a difference between two shut offs. The one on the left is a full flow Gilmour and one on the right is a Gilmour with less flow.
