I just want to know for certain if the connector you connect your hose to is made of brass and not some other metal.

Brass. I've had mine nine years, not a single problem. Left outside three seasons a year.

Connectors were brass. Unfortunately mine leaked and for my use in a finished basement a simple washer hose did the job.

The end of the hose that attaches to it is metal but the connection on the unit itself is plastic like everything else. I have had mine a little over two yearsand the plastic reel inside the unit has deteriorated and broken just from thestress of winding the hose on it. I had originally given it a two star rating butnow I would change to one star.

Depends what model you get. Mine is a metal hose but as I recall it cost a bit more than the plastic hose model.

Hard to say... I wasn't aware that a standard water hose wasn't drinking water safe. There is a 3 foot lead as you have noted... but only Ames can tell you about any lead content...although it looks like all brass fittings to me.

The gears on ours are actual brass. Works great and we don't have to worry about teeth breaking off the gears, like on a previous piper we had.

I have not done that, but I don't know why not. It is regular hose connectors. Best hose ever-NO KINK

I don't know 100% becuase i haven't tried it, but I think its very likely. The connection hose appears to be a standard snap-type connector.

There was a brass connection suggested by Amazon when I placed the order. It worked fine and prevented hose leaking. I can't be anymore specific as the unit is currently at our vacation home.

You would need to contact the manufacturer to find out that info. It appears to be brass and it works really well. But I have no idea about the metal composition of this nozzle. Sorry!

Dont know mine broke !!!! where you connect to the hose its made of plastic and not a replacable piece not worth the money !!

It's not brass. I am not in front of it so I can't remember of the top of my head if it is plastic and stainless steel or just plastic. I know at least the fitting area is stainless steel. It still works great and cleans up easily. No issues so far.

My adapters were brass. The nylon was to be used as a gasket if you needed a gasket.

I had the same problem with the hoses with plastic fittings. This hose has metal and to date it has not given me any trouble. Guessing time will tell.

On mine, the threaded part is brass. The plastic is is there to offer a better grip.

Metal ... brass where hose screws on to faucet connection. This is a fine quality faucet and after four years is not leaking anywhere. Has never required service ... What a relief to finally have an item that, so far, needs no tinkering ... I recommend this faucet model!

I use a quick connect, Nelson 50336 Brass Hose Quick Connectors Set, Male and Female and never have to worry about it.
