Manufactured in New Zealand from glass-reinforced nylon composite, this connector offers exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion and electrolysis, making it ideal for long-term use in harsh marine environments.

Designed to work with TruDesign Aquavalve hose tails, the connector allows you to attach different hose sizes (typically 19mm–38mm), giving you flexibility when designing or upgrading your plumbing system.
