How it connects
The wand's round magnetic pad meets a magnet pad in a cup-shaped dock and is held by magnetic attraction. A lip or notch on the cradle locates it. It's dry, with no seal and no fluid path; the water comes in through the hose's 1/2" NPSM thread.
Male and female halves
There's no formal gender. The wand carries the flat round magnetic pad (the docking half) and the wall/arm cradle is the receiving cup. On the sample part, this port is the wand side.
Usually connects to

How to recognise it
Look for a round metal pad, often stamped 'MAGNETIX' and held by small screws, on the back of a Moen handheld shower head. The matching dock is a round cup with a centre magnet on the shower arm mount.
Often confused with
| Confused with | How to tell them apart |
|---|---|
| Hand shower holder / bracket (friction or cone holder) | A standard holder grips the wand's handle or cone. Magnetix uses a flat round metal pad marked MAGNETIX on the wand's back, which sits in a round cup. |
| 1/2 inch NPSM hose connection | That is the threaded water inlet at the wand's base. The magnetic dock is a separate dry feature on the back of the head. |
