Hi folks,

My first post here so go easy with me. Apologies if this is in the wrong section or not appropriate to this forum.

I am having trouble tracking down a replacement hose connector as pictured below. I'm only requiring the connector as shown and do not want to connect with additional items.

The item is one piece and the thread appears to be about 1" (25mm).

Can anyone tell me where this could be purchased... preferably on the 'net.

Thank you.

I was just looking at this and the price due to the fall of the US dollar is nuts.

I don't have the identical connector, but I have one that is very similar that I bought at Lowe's.

That looks like a quick disconnect. I have some metal ones for use with my air compressor, but it looks like yours is plastic. I'd be very reluctant to buy something like that on the internet, because they come in all kinds of sizes and configurations, and the internet isn't very good about making sure replacements fit. Also, as its plastic I would guess is is inexpensive and internet sales always involve a pretty hefty shipping and handling charge.

I live in the US and we used to have hardware stores, but most have now been driven out of business by the home centers, who don't do a very good job of maintaining specific items in inventory. When we buy something, then go back a few months later to get replacement parts, they have discontinued the original line, and want to sell us a whole new item, rather than a part.

I'm not familiar with your country, but if you have hardware stores, or garden tool stores, that would be a good place to look. Faced with a hose part failure, I usually end up buying a new part (two parts in the case of disconnects) even though they don't fit my remaining good part, then cutting a few inches off each hose and installing the new. That probably explains why I have all these 49 foot hoses.

Good luck > Hi folks,
