Eley Hose Quick Connector Caps

Description

Eley makes some fantastic quick connectors for garden hoses that use a standard buna O ring to seal.  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.  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.

They can be installed loose, or have a hole in them to attach a tether to the hose.

All of mine were designed for and fit great when made from PETG.  I recommend aligning the seam position.  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.

Print the cap with the large flat face on then bed to prevent any need for supports.
