Product Information
Full details
The Hozelock Hose Connection Set is designed for home gardeners who need a reliable, quick-connect link between their outdoor tap and a hose reel or cart. It provides a convenient, ready-to-use solution that prevents water leaks and saves time during irrigation tasks. While it excels at simplifying setup, users should note that the 1.5-metre length is strictly intended for bridging the gap from the tap to the main hose unit and is not meant for direct garden watering applications.

FAQs
Does this set include the tap adapter?
Yes, the set includes a versatile tap connector designed for standard outdoor taps.
Can I use this as an extension for my regular garden hose?
While technically possible, it is designed as a connection link. Its 1.5m length makes it impractical for general watering.
Is this hose compatible with other brands of connectors?
The Hozelock system is widely compatible with most standard quick-connect hose systems.
Can I leave this connected outside all year?
While durable, it is recommended to store it in a frost-free area during winter to prevent the plastic and seals from becoming brittle.
What should I do if the connector is leaking?
Check if the rubber washer inside the connector is worn or missing. Replace the washer if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking at the tap connection
Ensure the washer is present and the connector is screwed on straight and firmly.
Connector is difficult to click into place
Check the internal o-ring for debris; a small amount of silicone lubricant can help if the connection is stiff.
Hose kinked near the tap
Adjust the angle of the hose reel or the orientation of the tap connector to allow for a smoother hose flow.
Pros and Cons

- No assembly required out of the box
- Ensures a secure, drip-free connection

Cons
- Fixed 1.5m length limits placement of carts

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply screw the tap connector onto your garden tap until it is hand-tight. Ensure the washer is properly seated to prevent drips. Connect the male end of the pre-fitted hose to your reel or cart input until you hear a secure click.
Compatibility: This set is compatible with standard garden taps. If you have a tap with a unique diameter or threading, you may require an additional adapter.
Care: To prolong the lifespan of your set, disconnect the unit from the tap during winter months or extended periods of non-use to prevent damage from frost. Keep the connector seals clean of grit or sand to ensure a watertight fit every time.
