Brass Connectors
Check the respective product details for the properties and certifications important for your selection. They are available as push-fit, threaded, compression, and flange connectors in many sizes for irrigation and plumbing.
Popular Brass Connector Categories at a Glance
With 344 items in the category Sanitary + Irrigation you will find two central subcategories here that make getting started easier. Both systems cover most applications in the garden and on the property.
Hose Coupling
Claw couplings and plug-in couplings made of brass for quick connection of garden hoses, irrigation lines, and pressure equipment. Suitable for faucet, pump, and distributor.
Plug-in System
Plug connectors with sealing rings for tool-free assembly. Check the respective product information for the properties and certifications important for your selection.
Both subcategories complement each other: While hose couplings are often used for pressure-resistant main lines, the plug-in system is particularly suitable for flexible branch lines and quick modifications. Depending on pressure and flow rate, choose the appropriate design.
Brass Connectors for Irrigation and Garden
Brass connectors are the first choice when it comes to durable and corrosion-resistant connections outdoors. Unlike plastic, they do not age due to UV radiation and remain resilient even in frost. In irrigation technology, they are used as plug connectors, threaded connectors, or compression connectors. Plug connectors consist of a socket and plug and enable quick hose connections without tools. Compression connectors consist of a nut and thread that compress the hose – a reliable method for tight connections on thin-walled hoses.
Stainless Steel W4 Hose Clamps 12 mm 20 - 32 mm
Suitable for flexible irrigation hoses. The clamp fixes the connector to the hose and prevents slipping during pressure changes.

2/3 Hose Connector Brass 1" Female Thread - 25 mm
Threaded connector with female thread for direct connection to faucets or distributors.
→ View productFor garden irrigation with a plug-in system or claw couplings, these connectors are the central interface between faucet, hose, and sprinkler. When selecting, pay attention to the inner diameter of the hose and the thread of the water connection. Brass connectors can still be loosened and adjusted after years without jamming.
Brass Connectors for Workshop, Vehicle, and Technology
In addition to the garden, brass connectors are also used in workshops, vehicles, and households. Flange connectors connect hoses via a common flange connection – a stable solution for pressure lines on compressors or cleaning equipment. In vehicle technology, brass connectors are often used for fuel or brake lines because they are resistant to fuels and brake fluids. The easy installation and maintenance saves time during repairs and modifications.
Suction coupling 1 inch, brass with lock nut
For suction lines on pumps and submersible pumps. The lock nut securely fixes the coupling to the hose and prevents air pockets.
→ View productFor technical applications, choosing the right connector is crucial: For suction lines, suction couplings with lock nuts are recommended, for pressure lines, compression connectors. Brass connectors are available in many sizes and types – from 12 mm hose to 1-inch thread. Check compatibility with your existing system before purchasing.
Tips & Worth knowing
Choosing the right connector type
Threaded connectors provide a permanent, pressure-resistant connection for permanently installed pipes. Flange connectors are used for large diameters or high pressures, for example on pumps or in industry.
Corrosion resistance and care
Brass is naturally corrosion-resistant and therefore suitable for harsh environments with moisture, fertilizers or chemical residues. Nevertheless, you should clean the connectors after the season and store them dry. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents that could attack the surface. For seized threads, a drop of oil or a special lubricant for brass helps.
Observe pressure and temperature ranges
Brass connectors are designed for pressures up to about 10 bar, depending on design and size. For hot water applications above 60 °C, you should use special high-temperature variants. Pay attention to the information in the product description to avoid leaks or damage.
You might also be interested in
In addition to brass connectors, you will find suitable components for your irrigation or plumbing project in these categories:
Fittings + PE Pipe Unions
For connecting PE pipes to brass connectors.
Threaded fittings
Complement your connectors with suitable threaded fittings for faucet, pump, or manifold. In various inch sizes.
Ball valves, gate valves, shut-off valves
For shutting off and regulating the water flow. Directly combinable with brass connectors.
These categories usefully supplement the range of brass connectors. If you are planning an irrigation system, for example, you will need not only connectors but also fittings for PE pipes and shut-off valves to control the individual lines. The parent category Sanitary + Irrigation provides an overall view of all available components.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which brass connectors are suitable for garden irrigation?
For garden irrigation, push-fit connectors and claw couplings are recommended. Push-fit connectors consist of a socket and a plug and enable quick hose connections without tools. Pay attention to the diameter of your hose (usually 13 mm, 19 mm or 25 mm) and choose the matching connector. Compression connectors are a good choice if you are using thin-walled hoses.
How do I correctly install a compression connector?
With a compression connector, the hose is pushed over the thread and the nut is tightened. This compresses the hose and creates a tight connection. Take care not to overstretch the hose. If necessary, use a hose clamp for additional fixation.
Can I combine brass connectors with other materials?
Pay attention to the thread size (inch) and the hose diameter. When connecting with stainless steel, contact corrosion can occur under certain conditions. In this case, use gaskets or insulating pieces. Brass is resistant to most fertilizers and chemicals used in the garden.
What sizes are common for brass connectors?
The most common sizes are 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, and 1 inch for threaded connections. Hose connectors are available for diameters from 12 mm to 32 mm. In the brass connectors category with 344 items, you will find both push-fit connectors and threaded connectors in many variations. Measure the inner diameter of your hose and the thread of your faucet before purchasing.
How do I properly care for brass connectors?
For stubborn deposits, a mild soapy solution helps. Avoid abrasive cleaning agents that could damage the surface. Store the connectors in a dry, frost-free place. For seized threads, you can apply some silicone oil or graphite powder.
In a nutshell
Brass connectors are durable and corrosion-resistant connecting elements for hoses and pipes. They are available in four main types: push-fit connectors (for quick hose connections), threaded connectors (for pressure-tight lines), compression connectors (for thin-walled hoses), and flange connectors (for large diameters). Areas of application include garden irrigation, technical applications in workshops and vehicles, as well as plumbing installations.
