Helpful additions to the 18mm* Accessory Connector
NOT COMPATABLE WITH STANDARD 12mm FITTINGS!
Specially designed for use with Hoselink’s 18mm hose fitting range.
18mm diameter hoses are typically used in rural and commercial applications and provide a higher water flow rate than standard 12mm hoses and fittings.
Hoselink’s 18mm Accessory Connector securely connects your hose to your watering accessory (for example spray gun, nozzle, or sprinkler) in a watertight seal.
The 18mm Accessory Connector screws directly into the thread of your watering accessory to create a super tight connection that won’t leak or burst off under pressure.
As the 18mm Accessory Connector has a male thread, it can be used on many watering accessories (and some caravans) that have a female thread. Simply unscrew the click-on part of your current watering accessory and screw in our 18mm Accessory Connector.
If you have multiple accessories, we recommend you purchase additional 18mm Accessory Connectors so you can easily switch your hose between all of your watering accessories with a simple ‘point and twist’.
Please note: only buy the 18mm Accessory Connector individually if you are ordering or already use Hoselink 18mm hose fittings.
Purchase Hoselink 18mm hose fittings and join thousands of Australians enjoying a better watering experience. Our 18mm hose fittings are covered by a 2 year warranty and if you aren’t satisfied with your purchase within 30 days we’ll happily give you your money back.
All Hoselink fittings are BPA and lead free

Q. Can I use 18mm hose fittings with my regular green and yellow 12mm Hoselink hose fittings?
A. The O'Ring to O'Ring faces are not compatible between the 12mm and 18mm range. However you can make a connection between the 2 systems by coupling an 18mm Accessory Connector into a 12mm Tap Connector (or vice versa).
Q. Can I fit 18mm hose fittings to a standard garden hose?
A. 18mm hose fittings have been designed specifically for use with 18mm internal diameter garden hoses and cannot be used with regular 12mm garden hoses.
Q. Why would I use 18mm hoses and fittings?
A. Larger internal 18mm diameter hoses and fittings are typically used in low water pressure situations, or where a high volume of water is required. They are often used in commercial situations such as at sporting fields, golf courses, nurseries, farms and parks. Many people in rural situations use these hoses where water pressure is very low, such as supply from a dam or tank. Anyone can choose to use 18mm hoses and fittings but they're typically used as a solution to low water pressure.
Q. What are the locking tabs for?
A. Our 18mm hose fittings have been designed with locking tabs to ensure they never, ever twist apart. We DO NOT recommend you insert these to begin with as once installed, they cannot be removed (and may get in the way of easy use). They may be useful in situations where the weight and particular use pulls the fittings apart, such as at a hose join. In this instance, you can insert a locking tab (on one side only is necessary) to ensure the fittings won't twist apart.
Q. Why aren't the 18mm fittings green and yellow?
A. We wanted to make it easy for customers who use both 12mm and 18mm hose fittings to identify which is which.
