Product Information
Full details
The Grass Warehouse 2-Way Garden Tap Connector is designed for homeowners and gardeners who need to manage multiple watering tasks from a single outdoor faucet. Its primary benefit is the ability to run two hose lines or a sprinkler and a hose simultaneously, saving you the effort of constantly swapping connections. Please note that while it is robust, it requires careful handling during winter months to prevent damage from freezing water trapped inside the valve mechanisms.

FAQs
Will this fit a standard household outdoor tap?
Yes, this connector is designed to fit standard 3/4-inch outdoor garden taps.
Can I use both outlets at the same time?
Yes, the device is specifically designed to allow both outlets to be used simultaneously or individually.
Does it come with hose connectors?
Yes, the package includes two 1/2-inch quick-connect hose adapters.
Is it made of metal or plastic?
The connector features durable materials suitable for garden use; ensure it is removed during winter to prevent weather damage.
Can I control the pressure to each hose?
The independent valves act as shut-off controls, allowing you to regulate the flow to each hose fully on, fully off, or anywhere in between.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking at the main tap connection
Ensure the rubber washer is properly seated inside the connector. If it remains loose, consider using PTFE plumber's tape on the tap threads.
Difficulty turning the shut-off valves
Check for debris or grit trapped in the valve mechanism. Rinse the unit with water and operate the valves repeatedly to dislodge any obstructions.
Pros and Cons

- Independent valves allow for targeted watering
- Fits standard 3/4-inch tap sizes
- Fast installation with included quick-connect adapters
Cons
- Not suitable for extreme high-pressure industrial systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, screw the main body onto your existing 3/4-inch outdoor tap until hand-tight. Ensure the washer is seated properly inside the connector to prevent leaks. Attach your 1/2-inch quick-connect hose fittings to the base of the valves. For maintenance, periodically check that the valves move freely. If you live in an area that experiences freezing temperatures, remove the unit from the tap before the first frost, shake out any trapped water, and store it in a dry location to avoid internal cracking.
