FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What type of thread do Gorilla Easy Connect® fittings use?

All of our connectors use the industry-standard 3/4” Garden Hose Thread (GHT). This is the standard size used on nearly all U.S. garden hoses and outdoor faucets.

2. Do Gorilla Easy Connect® fittings work with other brands?

Generally, no. Other manufacturers use different tolerances, which often causes leaks at the male/female connection point. Gorilla Easy Connect® fittings are precision-machined and tested up to 200 PSI, making our tolerances much tighter than most brands.

3. Do your connectors have a check valve?

Our Brass Ball Valves include stainless steel internal components and are available in two flow-direction styles. Choose the one that best fits your specific watering setup.

4. What is your warranty?

We offer a 1-year warranty on all connectors and a 10-year warranty on our Gorilla Gardening Tools—always backed by our NO HASSLE policy. We simply want you to be 100% happy with your purchase.

5. How do I get replacement washers or O-rings?

We keep all replacement Quick Connect Rubber Washers & O-Rings in stock and ready to ship. You can order them directly here:

6. What material are the ball bearings inside the female connector?

All internal bearings are made from stainless steel to prevent rust and ensure long-term, leak-free performance.

7. Why do some brands use reverse-direction threads?

We’re not sure why other brands do this, but Gorilla Easy Connect® connectors are intentionally designed for true one-handed operation, especially helpful for those with limited hand mobility. Simply attach the male fitting to your spigot, pull back the female collar with your thumb and index finger, and push to connect. Reverse threading would require two hands—which defeats the purpose.

For customers who *do* require a reverse-thread connection, we also carry special reverse-thread male and female connectors designed specifically for those unique setups.

8. What pressure are your connectors tested to?

Gorilla Easy Connect® fittings are pressure-tested up to 200 PSI to prevent accidental disconnects and leaks, even in demanding environments.

9. Will my connectors leak?

When used with standard GHT garden hoses and washers, our connectors deliver a reliable, leak-free seal. Leaks typically occur when:
• Washers are missing or worn
• Mixed-brand connectors are combined
• Hose threads are damaged

We include extra washers with most connector kits.

10. Are your connectors safe to leave outside?

Yes. Our connectors are made from solid brass and stainless steel, designed to resist rust, weather, and year-round outdoor exposure.

For best long-term performance, we recommend applying a small amount of our Gorilla Easy Connect® Food-Grade Silicone Grease to the internal bearings and collar mechanism. This keeps everything moving smoothly and helps extend the life of the connector.

11. How does SecureLock™ work?

Our premium connectors include a secondary locking mechanism that prevents accidental disconnects—especially helpful for:
• High-pressure applications
• Long hose runs
• Commercial or professional use

Simply twist to lock, and twist to unlock for double security.

12. Do you offer replacement parts?

Yes. We provide washers, O-rings, ball valves, and other replacement components. Email us anytime at info@gorillaeasyconnect.com.
