Qwickhose Wing-Lock Hose Connectors are a unique and revolutionary design, made and manufactured in the UK. Our mission was to replace the breakable perishable parts of traditional hose connectors with our innovative Wing-Lock system, ensuring a simple and seamless user experience, offering a superior hose grip, eliminating pop-offs, and reducing water wastage.
Our distinctively redesigned, patent-pending Wing-Lock connectors are manufactured using UV-stabilised premium-grade materials and have undergone rigorous design and field testing to ensure high quality engineering, resulting in simplifying how you securely attach and detach standard ½” garden hoses. To fit, simply push the hose over the inner tube, clamp the wings firmly shut, and fasten with the nut. This system ensures an effortless, user-friendly experience and prevents the hose from detaching from the connector and wasting water. The Wing-Lock Hose Connectors come in two variations, an Original and a No-Flow. Both options share the same benefits of the Wing-Lock system, offering a more secure connection. The No-Flow connector has an additional advantage of a water-stop pin, which cuts the flow when changing attachments without having to turn the tap off.
Creating robust connections with long-lasting quality and durability eliminates the need for frequent replacement purchases, making them better value for money and kinder to the environment.
Our pioneering Wing-Lock system was designed to remedy the age-old problem of standard hosepipe connectors bursting off under pressure. As water is a precious resource, it is important we protect the environment and prevent wastage around our homes and workplace. They are universally compatible, so they will fit all brands of accessories, such as spray guns and sprinklers, offering versatility across a range of industries, making them a flexible solution for both professionals and homeowners.
