Match the manifold system before buying a coupler
A swivel union is useful because the connected parts can be separated for service without cutting the entire line. That benefit depends on matching the manifold connection. Compare the existing system and seals carefully; hose threads and pipe threads are different jobs.
Living with it in the garden
Check connections for leaks after installation.
Keep serviceable seals and fittings accessible.
