Default Any tips for preventing hozelok connectors coming off the hose, under pressure?

No - it's about 2bar, i.e., average. And I never have the tap turned full-
on either.

Pressure aside, you may have inferior quality fittings or hose. You
will know if that applies. Alternatively you may have a non-standard
fitting or hose


I think it's the hose. It ooks like the Hozelock type (dark green, with
criss-cross reinforcement, but the OD may be less than ideal. I don't
think
the teeth on the fittings are getting a proper purchase.

My hose looks just like yours but I've has no trouble with it. It may well
be your hose then.
