Quick Connect Interchange Types

Dunno if this will be useful, but it can't hurt: Different "interchange types" for quick connect fittings... Note that these are AIR fittings & may not be at all relevant. Like I said, dunno.

From Grainger

Defeats the purpose, no?

You get a hose of larger diameter not because it is heavy to carry and unwilling to bend, but in order to maximize water flow. But this...

this fitting is designed to block the water flow of the larger size hoses.

Amazon apparently doesn't care. They'll put anything up for sale.

I like the design of this fitting

This:

The upper part is a hex fitting, designed to be turned with a wrench. That's the NPT side obviously, the National Pipe Thread side.

The lower part is a round fitting, designed to be turned by hand. That's the GHT side, Garden Hose Thread.

I use a wrench sometimes on garden hose fittings, but only because arthritis makes my grip sub-par. Took me a while to learn this secret: NEVER TIGHTEN GARDEN FITTINGS TIGHT WITH A WRENCH. With a wrench, just a hint of snug will do. If it still leaks, change the rubber washer.

Yeah, I don't like the price too much, but I like the design.

I'm trying a different rule

I can't go by that "cut off no more than one-third" rule when I mow. I'm trying a different rule: If I mow once every four days, I don't get piles of clippings that make the lawn look bad.

Even this rule is difficult to follow. But I'm trying.

I figured it out

I've seen it said, a couple places on the internet¹, that when you mow the lawn you should cut off no more than one-third the length of the grass. So for example, if you mow when the grass is 3 inches tall and you cut it down to two inches, you cut off one-third of the original length.

Yeah. But a lot of my lawn is in a low, wet area, and it grows as much as an inch a day. So I cut my lawn to two inches tall, and the next day it's three inches tall and ready to be cut again.

To follow that "cut off no more than one-third" rule, I'd have to mow my lawn every day!


Note:
1 -- It might have been one place on the internet, which I found more than once. Can't rightly say.
