Attaching a battery operated timer to a hose bib can be made convenient by the use of quick connects. The awkward angle that results from this method puts strain on the quick connect and frequently results in leaks or drips. The short, high quality hose connector relieves that stress making battery installation and other tasks far easier without the need for frustrating re-dos.
Considering all the items hanging from the faucets - timers, backflow preventers, filters, and alternator valves, this hose is a great way to limit pressure on the faucets, as well as preventing possible damage to the equipment and connections.
I have used and discarded too many poor quality hose savers in the past and wanted a quality one for my drip system this time. This one is worth the little extra.
Moving lines in an irrigation system can pull on the faucet assembly and possibly break the timer where it connects to the faucet. Installing this 8" high-pressure hose between the timer and the faucet will give a little wiggle room and prevent damage to the timer and prolong it's life.
