Flexible enough with multiple size internal sealing rings to stretch around a variety of fittings. It is not meant to fit on a higher pressure connection, keep that in mind, it will blow off. Would have to use a band clamp. Example: Many RV dump stations have a non-potable water hose that turns on for maybe 40 seconds. It is high pressure with usually has no end fitting. If you want to use this for your black tank flush fitting, it will pop off, holding it will get you wet but sort of works.

We spent 6 months RVing around the US and there were times that water got scarce (california) so certain parks changed their fittings so that you couldnt connect your hose.... unless you had this guy, which fit over any fitting that I tried it on. We barely had to use it but when we did, it was a life saver so we could at least fill up our water tank

Perfect for My Faucet Without Threads

My kitchen faucet has a decorative bell shaped end that can't be removed, and since I rent I can't replace it. I have multiple fish tanks, so I've been wanting to use a python system to change the water, but I couldn't because my faucet's decorative end has no threads. This solved the problem perfectly. It fits right over the end of the faucet and seals well. It can be a little hard to get on, but I think if it was any easier it wouldn't seal properly. It does exactly what I need it to do and I haven't had any issues with it.

DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT ONE IN YOUR TRAVEL TRAILER

I was told by an RVer that this was a tool/product that I should have in my travel trailer. He wasn't wrong. On our 6 month trip from Arizona to Alaska, we used it numerous times. It is useful when the faucet has not threads. But we also used it on our 6-gal water jugs to attach a spout and refill our trailer when we weren't near a faucet. I recommend that you install two hose clamps on it though, one at the metal screw hose end and one on the open rubber end. The rubber blew off the metal screw hose end with moderate pressure.

A very handy tool!

I have a truck camper and my drain for my kitchen sink goes to a garden hose connection outside the camper which on my truck just happens to be about 1.25 inches above the bed rail. I tried a couple different 90 degree elbows but they would not fit unless I used the camper jacks to lift the camper first. I was beginning g to think my only option was to slide a 3/4 inch sheet of plywood under the floor of my camper to give me enough room for the 90 degree elbow. Then I stumbled upon this handy tool and my problem is solved! The water bandit is flexible enough to turn the corner and slip right over the kitchen sink drain connection. Yet, it is rigid enough that it does not kink. And since it is flexible, it doesn't go the full 90 degrees, it's actually closer to a 45 degree bend now, and the water flow seems to have improved. I bought 2 of these, one for my drain and 1 as a spare. I like it so much I'll probably buy a couple more to keep around just in case.

Military Water Can Pour Spout Adapter

Manufactures of the military style water can use a non-standard thread on the pour-spout cap making it impossible to screw a fitting on to attach a pour-spout. The Water Bandit solves that.. Adding a valve, tubing adapter, 1/2-inch ID tubing and a turn-key clamp to secure the water bandit to the water can. I now have a pour-spout to attache to my military water can.

Very Helpful Tool

We ordered the Water Bandit after failing to be able to hook the potable water hose for our travel trailer because the spigot was not threaded. We were forced to go to another water source a distance away to refill the tank. We ordered the Water Bandit and later returned to the same water spigot to give it a try. It worked exactly as described by the supplier. The hose must remain open when using the device because pressure building up in the hose forces it to "blow off" the spigot, but it works perfectly if the hose remains open. it also works great in the tall red lever type water source used in most National Forest campgrounds. Very Helpful tool!!

Wish I would have boughten this sooner!

Couldn't find anything for my sink. This will fit tightly around your faucet spout . No need to take out the filter. Just slids right on. Wish I would have gotten this last summer. Don't have an outside faucet so I run a hose from my sink to fill up the kids pool every summer ! Work great!

when used correctly, this is the best when "stealing" water at the RV dump station

I have used one of these for about 9 years and it's nearly worn out. It's just now showing signs of dry rot. The package explicitly say it's not for any use that will create back pressure. However, as others have pointed out and I have done for years, 2 hose clamps cures any issues with the item coming off the hose that it's on. I have used this with excellent results to connect to the RV tank flush connection. Most if not all RV dump stations, have a hose that has a male connector that is beat to crap or no connector at all. I slip this on, tighten a hose clamp, and connect it to the trailer. I do recommend you use 2 hose clamps: 1 just behind the male end of the water bandit and 1 for the hose connection being attached. Tighten securely! Another reviewer suggested these KOEHLER EZ clamps https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XAKHCLW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and they will work better than the one's I have now that require a screwdriver! Use these correctly and water won't spray everywhere as others have commented. Beware using any type of valve down stream from this, or else it will either burst or the connecting hose come off the end. Even with the hose clamps, it's not meant for any connection with back pressure. For instance, if you have one of those long clean-out wands the are put through the commode into the holding tank and there is a valve on the wand, the back pressure will quickly blow the hose off the end of the water bandit if the valve is closed. I highly recommend this water bandit tool when used with common sense.

Life Saver at Camp Grounds

Going camping this year we found the camp ground personal had filed off all the threads on the water pumps that you could no longer use a hose to fill your trailer or, RV fresh water tank .. We later found other camp grounds had done the same. Ever try to fill a 40 gal tank with a one gallon jug? Presto! Along came the Camco Water Bandit. We now pull up to one of the water pumps and fill our tank. Its not like we are stealing the water. we use all 40 gallons and more at the same camp ground..
