Garden hose connector AL-KO 1 1/4" hose tail with 1" external thread

AL-KO 1 1/4" hose tail with 1" external thread is a mechanical garden hose connector designed to join a 1 1/4" flexible hose to fittings, valves or pumps that use a 1" male thread. The connector provides a direct, sealed transition from the hose bore to the threaded component, ensuring a secure flow path for irrigation and outdoor water systems. Constructed for garden irrigation use, this part is intended for installations where different connection standards must be adapted quickly and reliably.

Advantages

The connector offers a straightforward hose-to-thread solution that simplifies assembly without requiring specialized tools. Its hose tail design ensures a firm grip on 1 1/4" hoses while the 1" external thread mates with common garden fittings and pump inlets. The product's form factor minimizes dead space at the junction and helps maintain flow efficiency in watering setups. The connector is compatible with typical garden hoses and outdoor plumbing components used in irrigation and watering systems.

Suitable for

• Connecting 1 1/4" garden hoses to 1" threaded valves and fittings
• Irrigation lines and garden watering systems
• Temporary or permanent outdoor water installations
• Connecting hoses to garden pumps or filter housings with 1" thread

Key specifications

• Hose tail diameter: intended for 1 1/4" (nominal) hoses
• Thread type: external (male) 1" thread for standard garden fittings
• Function: mechanical hose-to-thread connector for fluid conveyance
• Application area: garden irrigation and outdoor water installations
• Compatibility: suitable for flexible garden hoses and threaded pump/valve connections

How to use

Slide the 1 1/4" hose onto the hose tail until it seats firmly against the collar. Secure the hose with an appropriate clamp or crimp ring to prevent slippage and ensure a watertight connection. Thread the 1" external thread into the corresponding female threaded fitting, valve or pump inlet, tightening by hand and then with a suitable wrench if required. Check the assembled junction for leaks under normal operating pressure and adjust the clamp or thread sealant as necessary.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use a hose clamp rated for outdoor use and compatible with the hose material. Apply a suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape on the 1" thread when connecting to metal fittings to reduce the risk of leaks. Inspect connections periodically for wear or corrosion and replace the connector if damage or persistent leakage is observed.
