FAQs

What thread sizes are included?

The connector comes with both ¾″ BSP (26.5mm) and ½″ BSP (21mm) threads, making it suitable for a wide range of taps.

Is it compatible with other brands of hose connectors?

It is primarily designed to work with the Hozelock quick connect system. While it may fit other brands, optimal performance is guaranteed with Hozelock components.

How do I attach the hose?

Simply click your hose connector into the Hozelock male tap connector until you hear a click. This will ensure a secure and leak-free connection.

What material is the connector made of?

The connector is made of durable plastic designed to withstand outdoor conditions.

What should I do if the connector freezes?

If the connector freezes, disconnect it from the tap and hose. Allow it to thaw completely before attempting to use it again.

How do I maintain the connector?

Regularly check for any damage. Clean it periodically with warm, soapy water. Store it indoors during winter to prevent damage from freezing.

Where can I buy replacement parts?

Replacement parts, such as washers and adaptors, are available at most hardware stores or through Hozelock retailers.

Troubleshooting

Connector leaks at the tap connection.

Ensure the connector is tightly screwed onto the tap. Check the rubber washer for any damage and replace if necessary. Use PTFE tape if needed for a tighter seal.

Hose leaks at the connector.

Make sure the hose is properly connected to the quick connect fitting. Check that the connection is fully engaged. Inspect the connector and hose for any damage and replace faulty components.

Connector is difficult to screw onto the tap.

Make sure you are using the correct thread size adaptor for your tap. Clean the tap threads and connector threads with a brush to remove debris.
