How to Design a Winter Garden: Color, Texture, and Cold-Hardy Plants

The Female Hose Plug is a specialized protective fitting designed to seal off female hose thread connections when they are not in use. Featuring standard 3/4" Male Hose Threads (MHT), this plug screws into female swivel adapters, essentially acting as a stopper to prevent insects, dirt, and moisture from entering your open lines.
This component is one of our most recommended irrigation fittings for winterization. When you disconnect your mainline from the faucet for the season, screwing this plug into your female hose start (swivel) ensures the system stays clean and ready for spring.

Use this plug when storing your system.
Step 1: Disconnect System
Unscrew your female hose swivel adapter (the start of your drip line) from the faucet or timer.
Step 2: Check Washer
Ensure the hose washer is still seated inside the female swivel. This washer is necessary for the plug to seal tightly.
Step 3: Insert Plug
Screw the Female Hose Plug into the swivel adapter. Hand-tighten until snug.
