Just make shure you have pushed the hose all the way up when you tighten up the thread,i used cheap connectors once and the thread kept crossthreading so i binned em and i always use hozelock now and never get any problems,Gaz

Absolutely Easyclean,

The reason that all plastic end stops leak is that they are not spring loaded so they rely on water pressure to seal, when the pressure off they leak.
