Bosch 05HC2GT 2-Pack Green Thumb Brass Hose Cap, Original Version

Good quality brass caps !

I bought these to put on the Washing machine water outlets inside our 5th wheel. Since we do not have a washer in the camper yet (maybe someday) I wanted to cap the water outlets in the closet to make sure just in case the on/off levers got hit that water did not leak out and damage the camper. Water leaks are the bane of all campers.Put these on and tightened them as much as I could by hand. Then just to check and be brave, I turned the water on slowly on the water outlet. NO LEAKS!. Worked like a charm. Turned the water off and left the caps on of course. Now if the levers (not turn wheels) are accidentally hit taking something out of the closet, nothing will leak!This was recommended by the service person at the dealership we bought it from. He had the same unit that had these leak when someone hit the lever taking something out of the closet and got water sprayed all over. Glad he told me!

Works great if you want to cap off the spigot for winter, etc. but I bought it to stop the leaking valve. It didn’t work, even though I used pipe sealing tape. But I still think these are good quality and will work to cap off hoses etc., to keep dirt out or the threads clean!

Our house has a hot water heating system. The boiler that heats the water has a bunch of valves that look like a typical hose spigot, so water can be drained from the lines. This year our new HVAC technician pointed out that putting a brass cap on those drain valves will prevent leaks when the valve eventually wears out.Basement floods are no fun. These brass "hose caps" fit those drain valves perfectly. The threads were cleanly cut so they screwed on easily. The knurling on the outside was effective for easily gripping and twisting the caps.Now we have one less risk to worry about.

Perfect item to provide a positive seal on unused wash machine faucets - even though the valves were turned off, I wanted to be certain there would be no water damage in case the valve seals eventually leaked. These are made of brass with a resilient washer that sealed perfectly. Exactly what I needed.

Open a drain valve and now it drips? Don't want to replace the valve seat? Garden hose / boiler drain thread. Saves the day.

They work perfectly for me to close extra brass garden hose spouts that I'm not using. I always order soft rubber hose washers because I've never had any luck with provided washers, they all seem to be cheap plastic that can't stand being smashed multiple times. The washers with this seem to be doing just fine tho, and in the several different applications I've used these for (plastic threads on watering tools designed to be inlined, brass and other metal spouts, soaker hose ends, and I used one on a culinary line) I've never had a single drop get past them.

These hose caps seem fine and I expect that they will perform well. I am just perplexed as to why they are represented as being from Bosch, when that name is nowhere on the packaging. Instead, the name on them is Green Thumb, and it is stated that they are manufactured in China for, and distributed by, True Value. I am also puzzled at the warning on the package that this product, which is stated to be "Ultra Durable solid brass", can expose me to chemicals including lead. Finally, it has a 10 year limited warranty from True Value. But if I'm not buying it from True Value, who is providing the warranty?
