Review on Dixon BMA974 Fitting Adapter Female by Edris Holwell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Leak-proof and superior to other models thanks to the innovative NPTF thread

Fine workmanship, no leakage, ideal for connecting a standard shower head to a garden hose. Includes a washer and NPTF thread so it won't leak without PTFE Teflon tape. I had a hose with a broken tip. I noticed that the tip uses a standard hose connector, so I used that to attach the shower head instead of the tip. This works very well. The GHT (garden hose thread) end has a washer to prevent leakage, the other end has NPTF threads which I prefer over standard NPT. NPT requires PTFE "Teflon" tape or other sealant to ensure a tight connection, NPTF threads are tighter with no leaks.

Pros
  • Easy to assemble
Cons
  • Something different
