2 Pack Garden Hose End Caps with Washers, Brass Spigot Cap, 3/4" Female End Cap

I thought I reviewed these a while ago, but I was just reminded to review them, so for some reason it apparently was never published. So I'm trying to enter it again. I bought this pair of hose end caps, not for my garden hose, but because they were recommended to solve a different issue that I had. With my elderly mother staying with us, we wanted to rig a washing machine upstairs in our kitchen so she wouldn't have to go to the basement, which has very steep steps. At first we were attaching the washing machine directly to our kitchen tap, but then you couldn't use the sink when the washer was running. So my son built in two outlets coming off the kitchen sink so the water wouldn't be interrupted. But there is also a side door right there, so you can't have the washer hoses in the way which they would be if you left them attached all the time, so we got an extra long hose that can sit on an elevated hook when in use so it flows well, and so the washer could be out of the way and still reach the sink. Unfortunately that left these two outlets with the potential of dripping and damaging the floor or accidentally getting knocked open when disconnected and the washer not in use (there is no shutoff under the sink). So someone suggested to prevent drips capping them off with regular garden hose caps. I measured and wasn't sure it would work, but they do fit and work perfectly. They are very sturdy and high-quality, with good seals, and once tightened firmly, I tested them and had no leaking whatsoever. So they seem to work great for our purposes.

I used this in tandem with a foam cover to keep my outdoor garden faucet safe during cold winters. Does the trick and is very well made.

They worked great. Stopped the leak on my water heater. Make sure the rubber washer is inside the cap.

I flushed my water heater on my own. Purchased these just in case after I closeclosed the value and it still drip. Had no issues using these anyway after I finished. Well made looks like it came with the water heater.

Works fine,

Definitely handy to have these for your water heater just to make sure there is no leaks. Great quality with a nice seal. Went on easily.

The garden hose end caps and plugs are heavy brass and the threads machined properly. I had no problems with threads binding. The kit came with the extra washers as described. I would purchase again from this vendor if I have the need for additional caps or plugs.

It's exactly what I needed and they're not made of plated aluminum but brass.
