Aquor’s connectors are hose connection devices used to engage hydrant water flow. Aquor utilizes a quick-connection system, eliminating the need to thread hoses onto outdoor faucets. 

So, what are the differences between each connector, and which connectors are best for your water access setup? Let's find out! 

Straight Hose Connector 

Attach the Straight Hose Connector to your hose for streamlined water access. 

We recommend pairing the Straight Connector with any Aquor hydrant when you want a simple hose connection and don't need a vacuum breaker built into the connector. 

• Made from Acetal Polymer 
• Viton O-Rings for a water-tight seal
• Compatible with any garden hose
• Check valve for backflow prevention
• Included in the House Hydrant V2+ kit, Ground Hydrant kit, Universal Hydrant kit, and Marine Deckwash kit

Removable Faucet Hose Connector 

Attach the Removable Faucet Hose Connector to your hose, or use it on its own for streamlined water access. 

We suggest using the Removable Faucet for flow control, when you don't need a vacuum breaker built into the connector. Pair with the House Hydrant V2+ to fill a bucket to wash your car, or use the ball valve to adjust sprinkler pressure while attached to your hose.

Wide Grip Vacuum Breaker Hose Connector 

Attach the Wide Grip VB Hose Connector to your garden hose for streamlined water access.

We recommend pairing the Wide Grip with the House Hydrant V1+ for backflow protection, when flow control isn't necessary. Leave the Wide Grip attached to your hose and use a spray nozzle to regulate water pattern.

Vacuum Breaker Hose Connector

Attach the Vacuum Breaker Hose Connector to your hose, or use it on its own for streamlined water access.

Aquor Connector Comparison Chart

*All connectors are compatible with all hydrants. Recommended use is based on vacuum breakers—if the house hydrant does not have a built-in vacuum breaker, we recommend using a connector that includes a vacuum breaker, and if the hydrant does have a built-in vacuum breaker, there is no need to use a connector that also includes a vacuum breaker.

Aquor Terminology

Acetal Polymer - An engineered thermoplastic with high wear resistance.

Vacuum breaker - Prevents backflow. Meets ASSE and CSA plumbing code requirements. Located in the Wide Grip VB Hose Connector, Vacuum Breaker Hose Connector, Comfort Grip VB Hose Connector, and the V2+ hydrant faceplate.

Check valve - Prevents the back-flow of dirt and debris. Not as robust as a vacuum breaker.
