A leaky garden hose fitting, a cracked adapter, or a corroded coupler means water on the ground instead of in your pump. Good fittings at the supply end prevent problems downstream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGarden hose connections use GHT (Garden Hose Thread), which is a 3\/4 inch, 11.5 threads per inch standard.

Make sure the washer is in place before connecting. A missing washer means a leaking connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand tighten garden hose connections. Do not use a wrench on garden hose fittings unless they are designed for it. Over-tightening cracks the fitting or strips the soft brass threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspect rubber washers regularly. They crack and flatten with age. Replace them when they get stiff or lose their shape. A bag of spare washers costs a couple dollars and saves you from dripping connections on every job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn freezing weather, disconnect all garden hoses and drain them. Water left in a hose or fitting expands when it freezes and cracks the fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between GHT and NPT threads?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGHT (Garden Hose Thread) is 3\/4 inch with 11.5 threads per inch. It is a straight (parallel) thread that seals with a rubber washer. NPT (National Pipe Thread) is a tapered thread that seals with Teflon tape. They are not interchangeable. If you need to connect a garden hose to NPT plumbing, use a GHT to NPT adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does my garden hose connection leak?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common cause is a missing, cracked, or flattened rubber washer. Check the washer first. If the washer is good, check the fitting for cracks, cross-threading, or corrosion. Replace damaged fittings. Do not over-tighten to try to stop a leak, that usually makes it worse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use brass garden hose fittings with a pressure washer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Brass garden hose fittings are the standard for pressure washer water supply connections. Brass handles the water pressure, chemicals, and outdoor conditions without corroding. Avoid cheap zinc fittings. They corrode fast and seize onto hose threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy garden hose parts and fittings near Gaithersburg, Maryland?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSun Brite Supply is located at 16620 Oakmont Ave, Gaithersburg, MD 20877.
