Claber 8974 Aquapass Hose Cassette with 50-Feet 1/2-Inch Hose

Product Description

Water feeds through hose when partially or completely wound . Lightweight and compact it is easy to carry into your autos, boats, campers and exceptionally easy to store. Includes zinc-plated steel wall bracket for a secure wall mount. Spray nozzle patterns are (clockwise) wide cone, narrow cone and straight; counter clockwise for off position. Complete with quick-click couplings for practical faucet attachment and female hose connector with water-stop feature that automatically shuts off water when hose is detached from the nozzle (to use with any other type of nozzle, male accessory adapter is needed, sold separately). Made of UV-stabilized polypropylene plastic. Ready to use. Handles water temperature up to 104°F and outdoor temperatures up to 122°F.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good engineering, but fits nothing., August 31, 2008

Good materials:

Poor assembly: (it flew into five pieces on first attempt to unreel and, even being better than average at mechanical skills, it took ten minutes of creative frustration to figure out how they went back together and tighten down the friction-fit pieces the way they should have been tightened at the factory (same for the end fittings). I'm still unsure of whether the slip washers are in the right position, but it seems to be holding together.

Lousy Fit: There are four fittings (snap fittings and threaded fittings) and all are either proprietary Clabor design (or, possibly, metric) so they fit no standard English threaded garden faucet or standard English nozzles, sprinkers, couplings etc. Even their snap-fittings are non-standard and don't allow purchase of supposed equivalent snap-fittings from your big-box garden supply. Even if they would fit, it comes with no standard threaded male termination to the business end of the hose (and the female... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Price, Great Product, July 15, 2011

This review is from: Claber 8974 Aquapass Hose Cassette with 50-Feet 1/2-Inch Hose (Lawn & Patio)
The Claber is easily the best hose we have ever used. It was easily attached and very easily re-coils after use. This is a European product and uses (a supplied) adapter to connect to US style outlets. We bought a second adapter so that the hose could be easily carried from one outlet to another. It comes with a simple spray pistol. If you want something different, you must use an adaptor or purchase a model that uses this standard (widely available at garden centres). We have found the ease of use far outweighs the need for an adapter.

unlike the first poster, i found that claber connected well to our current "hose system" -- specifically the snap-fit connectors which worked well with the melnor brand we picked up at home depot.

trouble is (and here is where the first poster has a bit of a point), the hoses themselves are 1/2in (12mm), whereas most US sizes are 5/8in... however the fittings themselves are 3/4in M/FHT (male/female hose thread), so other than the smaller line size, it's a perfectly working system that snaps or screws to any US hose accessory (imho).

in fact, the smaller line size means less bulk and a more supple hose and the loss of volume is barely noticeable -- and, in our case, the water is coming from a 1/2 in copper house line and (again, in our case) going to another 1/2in sprinkler line, so a 5/8in or 3/4in hose would be overkill anyway.

the best attribute of the claber hoses is the hose-to-fitting connection (where the rubber hose meets the plastic end)... Read more
