Product Information

Full details

This AB Tools Round Mixer Tap Connector is for users needing a reliable way to connect standard garden hoses to non-threaded, round, or oval taps, particularly mixer taps. Its key benefit is providing a secure, leak-free connection on taps up to 18mm in diameter using a simple stainless steel clip. A potential caveat is that it is only compatible with taps within the specified diameter range and requires a non-threaded spout.

Troubleshooting

Connector is leaking

Ensure the stainless steel clip is tightened sufficiently around the tap. Check that the rubber seal is properly seated and not damaged. Verify the tap spout diameter is within the 14mm-18mm range.

Connector does not fit tap

Confirm the tap spout is round or oval and measure its diameter. This connector is designed for taps between 14mm and 18mm. If the tap is threaded or outside this size range, this connector will not be compatible.

Hose does not connect securely

Ensure you are using a Hozelock compatible hose fitting. The male end connector is designed for standard Hozelock fittings; check for any damage to the fitting on either the hose or the connector.

Clip is difficult to tighten

Ensure the clip is aligned correctly with the tap spout. If resistance is high, check for any obstructions. The clip is designed to be tightened firmly for a secure seal.
