5Works great! Not for indoor faucet as some might assumeJul 01, 2011
By Zack! "Zack!"
The Claber quick-connect system works very well. It is similar to the Gardena system, which I personally prefer slightly over the Claber, because Gardena has the more comprehensive system.

Plastic: There is nothing wrong with the high-end plastic used in both of those systems. Many people automatically assume when something is made of metal it must hold up better. Not true. High-end plastic often performs much better than low-end metal, which easily corrodes. The best would be high-end metal fixtures, but they are generally very expensive and really only necessary for commercial or other serious irrigation needs.

Indoor vs. outdoor faucet: As some have found out, this adapter does not work with indoor faucets. To be fair, the description never mentions "indoor". The term "faucet" is general. With respect to irrigation, it generally refers to the outdoor kind that has the typical 3/4" garden-hose thread. The negative reviews thus reflect the fact that the product was bought for the wrong purpose. They say more about Amazon's product description and the confusion resulting from it, rather than how the adapter really performs. Again, with irrigation systems, generally, if it doesn't say "indoor" specifically, it means "outdoor". By the way, Claber makes a specific "Indoor Faucet To Garden Hose Adaptor" (8583), and it is clearly described as such.

A couple of tips: as with any threaded connection, wrapping teflon tape around the threads prevents any leaks right upfront. Using teflon tape is not a weakness of any kind as it is used in the most professional settings because there simply are no absolutely leak-proof connections in general. Also, the O-rings do need to be replaced every now and then. Likewise, having to replace O-rings is not a weakness of these products. Chlorine in today's water is slowly nibbling on just about anything (particularly your plants!).

Happy irrigating!

4Working out just fineMay 18, 2009
By B. Davis "The Happy Hermit"
I don't think there is any reason not to use plastic hose connectors, I've used them for years without issue. It's good to have a shut off for the end of your hose, something like a Gilmour Hose End Nylon Water Shut-off Green - 07V-C/07HD, so that you can turn off the water right there at the hose before you change attachments. Walking all the way back to the hose bib would be a pain.

5Pleasantly SurprisedApr 25, 2011
By Michael G Carnes
Most hose quick connect sets that I have purchased have leaked and leaked badly especially with my 100 psi water pressure. However, the Claber 8458 Faucet to Garden Hose Quick Connect Set has not leaked even a drop. This is impressive. However, the proof of this product will be if it is still leak free after several seasons of use. I am concerned about its plastic construction. However, time will tell.

5Very Good ProductApr 24, 2012
By Rick
Get into the 21 century People. Don't be afraid it works as advertised. P.S. don't worry does not leak! your friends will think your hip too.

4In theory not for the 3/4 inch faucets. But you can still make it work with thoseAug 10, 2011
By G0NZ0
So this thing is supposed to work with the 1 inch faucets which are the typical OUTDOOR faucets. The typical INDOOR faucets are 3/4 inch (for instance those attached to the inverse U-shaped pipes) and it won't work.
I actually do not understand the reason of existence of this thingy: the 1 inch outdoor faucets can attach to any water hose directly with no problems.

Anyway, the instructions say you are supposed to use the black part (with funnel shape) on the faucet and the other (the bigger orange+black piece) on the water hose. However you can use the orange-black piece on the faucet and the black only piece on the other side of the water hose.
It wont screw up to the faucet, you have to force it up and pull it down (may take some hand strength but it is totally doable).
This way it worked perfectly for me, which is why I gave 4 stars, not 5 because I think the seller should have stated clearly the diameter of it rather than saying it attaches to "any twist-on faucet", which isn't true.
