Hose pipes have a water stop feature that’s present at the tail end of the pipe, which helps the gardener change accessories without going to the tap every time. The auto-shutoff feature stops the water flow when you make any swaps. Connect the garden hose to the nozzle by having both the male and female connectors in place. The male connected should be attached to the end of your nozzle while the female connector should be attached to the hose. Rings provided must be pushed to lock both these connectors together. The lock could be removed by pulling them apart.
