Hi all.  This is probably the wrong place to inquire but I figured I'd give
it a shot.  I found some "quick connect" garden hose adapters at the local home
improvement store.  These guys are analogous to air hose connectors
only they're for garden hoses yet, oddly, the orifice isn't much larger than
what you'd find on an air hose connector.  This, coupled with my already-low
water pressure (my spigots are supplied by 1/2" pipe) renders them basically
unusable.  

Has anybody found any such adapters that work well with lowish water pressure?
Perhaps one designed for a hose larger than 5/8" so that the plunger orifice
is larger?

Thanks.
