The quick connection fittings are bigger than standard Hozelock compatible domestic connections and are 26mm in diameter. This 3-way connector splitter splits from a 1" connection to 2 x standard Hozelock compatible sizes. The quick connection diameter is 26mm. It is compatible with 1" quick fit connectors and splits the flow into two standard Hozelock compatible sizes, making it versatile for various gardening and irrigation needs.
The Cellfast 3-Way Splitter is designed for gardeners and landscapers needing to efficiently manage water flow from a single 1-inch hose connection to multiple standard hoses. Its key benefit is the ability to split a heavy-duty 1-inch connection into two standard Hozelock-compatible outlets, offering versatility. A minor caveat is that the primary connection is specifically 1-inch, requiring an appropriate source.

FAQs
What size are the standard Hozelock-compatible outlets?
The two standard outlets are designed for a 26mm quick connection diameter, which is typical for Hozelock compatible fittings.
Can I connect this to a standard 3/4" garden hose inlet?
This splitter is primarily designed for a 1" heavy-duty hose connection. You may need a specific adapter to connect it to a standard 3/4" hose inlet, depending on the adapter type.
Will this reduce my water pressure significantly?
While splitting flow naturally divides pressure, the heavy-duty 1-inch inlet is designed to maintain good flow. Significant pressure loss would more likely be due to the limitations of the connected devices (e.g., sprinklers) or the main water supply itself.
Is this splitter suitable for high-pressure cleaning systems?
It is designed for heavy-duty hose connections and can handle moderate to high water pressure from a garden tap. For specific high-pressure washer requirements, always check the compatibility with your pressure washer's inlet specifications.
How durable is the grey plastic material?
The splitter is constructed from durable materials designed for outdoor use, providing resistance to weather conditions. However, like all plastic components, it should be protected from extreme conditions and physical impact.
Can I connect three hoses to this splitter?
No, this is a 3-way splitter that connects one inlet to two outlets. It allows you to split one line into two separate lines.
Troubleshooting
Water leaks from the 1-inch connection
Ensure the 1-inch hose is fully and securely pushed onto the splitter's inlet. Check the washer/seal on the hose connection for damage and replace if necessary.
Water leaks from the standard outlets
Verify that the standard hoses are properly clicked into the 26mm quick-fit connectors. Ensure the hose ends and splitter ports are clean and free of debris. Check the seals on the standard hoses.
Low water flow from one or both outlets
Check the main water supply for adequate pressure. Ensure no kinks are present in either the main hose or the connected hoses. Clear any potential blockages within the splitter's internal channels or connected hoses.
Splitter does not split flow evenly
This is normal as flow is influenced by the resistance of connected devices (sprinklers, etc.). Ensure both connected hoses are functioning correctly and that the primary water source provides sufficient flow.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Allows connection of two standard hoses to a single 1-inch heavy-duty source.
Provides flexibility for managing different watering zones or tasks.
Features a secure 26mm quick connection diameter for reliable fittings.
Durable build suitable for outdoor and frequent use.
Compatible with widely available Hozelock-style fittings for easy integration.
Cons
Primarily designed for a 1-inch heavy-duty inlet; may require an adapter for smaller source connections.
The two outgoing connections are standard Hozelock size, not heavy-duty 1-inch.
Can potentially reduce water pressure if used with very high-demand systems on both outlets.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure your primary water source connection is a 1-inch heavy-duty hose connector.
Attach the 1-inch end of the Cellfast 3-Way Splitter securely to the water source.
Connect two standard hoses (with 26mm Hozelock-compatible quick-fit connectors) to the two outgoing ports on the splitter.
Turn on the water supply.
Compatibility:
Inlet: Designed for 1" heavy-duty hose connections.
Outlets: Compatible with standard Hozelock-compatible quick-fit connectors (26mm diameter).
Note: Not directly compatible with smaller domestic hose sizes (e.g., 1/2") on the inlet without an appropriate adapter.
Care:
After use, turn off the water supply and disconnect the hoses.
Store the splitter in a dry place, preferably out of direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Periodically check connections for wear or damage. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary.
