*The female connector screws directly onto rubber hose without the need for a separate adapter. You
’ll need a female connector (ferrule) and a male adapter (stem) with the same hose ID to make a connection. Screw the female connector onto hose, then thread the male adapter into the female connector. When assembled, the fitting compresses against the hose, forming a strong seal. Also known as reusable fittings, they can be unscrewed from the hose end and used on a new hose.
