Hi Roland I thought I was the only one with this problem. My hose has
a male connection and so does my long handle sprayer neither of these
can be changed because of the screw conectar the othe end of the male.
So what I need is a double female connector to connect them, you would
think I was asking for the moon. But it seems no one does one. So I'm
stumped
All I can see is male to male connectors.
Every hose I have seen actually ends in a female connector .
Any future in actually cutting off the end you have now and making
good with a female connector hose end.

Just remember to use the hose the right way round!
Alternatively, does this not do what the OP wants?

Nope, well don't think it does (I am not the OP so don't know the
specifics) . That connects hose to hose it does not
connect to a sprayer(or indeed an accessory of any type).
That does not accept plugs of any type it screws down over hose ends.
OK, I agree. Perhaps the hose should have a female connector, and be
used with a double male if it needs to connect to a female
when this type of fitting first appeared, hoses had a male end - just like
a tap. Then suddenely hoses had female ends.

That must have been a while ago. Have only ever seen hoses with female
fitting ends but then have only had a garden for eighteen years.
Surely a hose at that age will need replaced .

At the very least lose the end of the hose, and put on a fitting to
turn the end of the hose to female. All(?) the accessories sold
nowadays assume the hose will be fitted with a female end.
