Replacing split hose connector

[Actionmainly]

So today for reasons unknown the connector in my outside tap hose decided to split causing a minor flood. Luckily it has an isolation valve and is now turned off. No idea why it split since it hasn't been touched in years.

My question is, can the connector be taken off and replaced? I assume I would need to remove the whole part from the silver clip up to the connector and replace. Is it just a hose connector like this

with a jubilee clip around it or is their a better option? Worried if I did that it might not hold under the pressure and pop off. I know I could replace the whole hose pipe but reluctant to do that since its very secure in the wall and would mean essentially digging it out.

That 2nd photo is for a trap and a completely different size. I don't think you can replace the connector, and a new one or a decent job in copper would be best. You may be able to twist it out of the wall.

Yeah it wouldnt twist out, it's in pretty solid with plaster on the outside wall. Its nothing I cant chip away but was wanting to avoid doing it.

The only other thing that may work, is to purchase a washing machine hose, and try to get the connector to fit? Bit of a bodge, but might work.

Get it ripped out and plumb in a new external tap with check valve and isolation. While you are at it, remove the Y piece and fit 2 washing machine valves.

That is a burst pipe waiting to happen.

It does have an isolation, its turned off at the moment. Think the y valve is because of the dishwasher.

I am with Andy. The plastic Y pieces aren't the best quality, given the use of that and the cheap outdoor tap kit, I'd seriously engage someone to sort it out properly, remove the Y piece, fit 2 appliance valves, and plumb the outside tap in correctly using copper pipework. Leaving that as is wont end well, sooner or later something else will give, and if you're asleep or out at the time, it's not going to be pretty.

Insurance may not cover the damage either if poor workmanship is evident.

What is it thsts so wrong with the y connector? It was put in by a plumber as part of a new kitchen.

Or get a brass one -

+2 with the chaps there, certainly needs a new outside tap installed, that looks like one of those really bad self cutting DIY jobbies from one of the sheds.
