13mm Female Click-Fit Hose Connector - Push-Fit Irrigation Fitting
Best for: anyone connecting 13mm hose pipe to a click-fit compatible tap or hose tail without wanting to mess with jubilee clips or glue.
Our thoughts
It's a small part doing a small job, but a decent push-fit connector is the difference between a leak-free irrigation run and a puddle under your tank. Cheap enough to keep a few spares in the drawer for whenever a fitting fails. Gets the job done properly.
The 13mm Female Click-Fit Hose Connector connects 13mm internal diameter hose pipe to a click-fit compatible tap or hose tail. It uses a push-fit mechanism - no glue and no clamping tool needed - so the hose simply pushes into the fitting and locks in place, giving a secure, leak-free seal you can pull apart again if you need to reroute or replace pipework.
How it compares
Irrigation connectors are either push-fit, threaded, or barbed-with-clip, and click-fit sits firmly in the first camp.
- Quicker to fit than barbed connectors that need a jubilee clip tightened over the top
- No glue or solvent needed, unlike solvent-weld push-fit systems used in some plumbing applications
- Compatible with the wider click-fit ecosystem used across many hydroponic irrigation ranges, so it's easy to standardise a whole system on the same fitting type
A simple, reliable connector for anyone running 13mm hose who wants fittings that go together and come apart without tools.
Usage guidance
Fitting
Push the 13mm hose end firmly into the connector until it clicks and locks. Give it a gentle tug to confirm it's seated properly before turning the water on.
Removing
Most click-fit connectors release with a collar or button press - check yours before pulling on the hose directly, which can damage the seal.
Leak check
Run water through a new connection at low pressure first and check the joint before leaving a system unattended.

Our take
This is a straightforward fitting that does exactly what it says - a secure, tool-free connection for 13mm hose. Worth keeping a couple spare given how cheap they are relative to the mess a failed fitting can cause.
Does exactly what it should, day in, day out.
