Eley Hose Quick Connector Caps

prusaprinters

<p>Eley makes some fantastic quick connectors for garden hoses that use a standard buna O ring to seal. &nbsp;If the connector is stored on a hose or watering devise outside, the sun and rain break down the silicone grease on the O rings which leads to O ring damage and excessive friction when coupling the quick connects. &nbsp;These caps can be installed over the quick connectors and will protect the O ring and grease as well as keeping bugs out from the hose or watering device.</p><p>They can be installed loose, or have a hole in them to attach a tether to the hose.</p><p>All of mine were designed for and fit great when made from PETG. &nbsp;I recommend aligning the seam position. &nbsp;If the seam causes too much drag for the cap to easily slide on, it is only one location that will need to be sanded.</p><p>Print the cap with the large flat face on then bed to prevent any need for supports.</p>
