G'day Gary,
The female coupling you describe would be suitable for one hose, but the other one needs the male connector. To screw it in my mate would have to twist 10's of metres of hose.




You aren't understanding how the threaded female side of the American hose coupling works.

The Female ferrule is free turning around the stem, using a replaceable neoprene compression washer to prevent leakage.

So the entire hose does not have to twist at all.

Your quick coupler is faster, but we aren't that stupid this side of the water. We also have quick couplers that can be installed on the ends of the "standard" threaded garden hose connectors. Available separately and used for situations where the hose is to be constantly connected and disconnected.
