Product Information
Full details
This Hozelock Threaded Tap Connector is for gardeners and homeowners looking to easily connect their watering systems to outdoor taps. Its key benefit is providing a secure, leak-free connection that adapts to most common tap sizes, ensuring your hose is ready for use. A potential caveat is that very non-standard tap threads may require a specific adapter. The connector securely attaches to your outdoor tap and converts it to the Hozelock quick-connect system, making it simple to attach and detach hoses and accessories.

FAQs
What size taps does this connector fit?
It is designed to fit 95% of outdoor taps, primarily those with a 3/4in BSP thread. It also includes a 1/2in adaptor for older or different tap sizes.
Do I need any tools to install this connector?
No, the connector is designed for hand-tightening onto the tap thread. No tools are typically required for installation.
Is this connector compatible with non-Hozelock hoses?
The connector converts your tap to the Hozelock quick-connect system. Therefore, you will need a hose end connector that is part of the Hozelock system or is compatible with it to attach your hose.
How do I clean the tap connector?
You can clean the connector with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaning agents that could damage the material.
Can I leave this connector on the tap all year round?
While durable, it is recommended to remove the connector during freezing winter months to prevent potential damage from ice expansion. Store it in a dry location.
What is the purpose of the included adaptor?
The included 1/2in adaptor allows the connector to fit older taps that may have a slightly different thread size than the standard 3/4in BSP.
Troubleshooting
Connector does not fit tap
Verify your tap thread size. Use the included 1/2in adaptor if your tap has a smaller thread. If the tap thread is non-standard, a specialized adapter may be required.
Water leaks from the tap connection
Ensure the connector is screwed on tightly to the tap. Check the tap's thread and the connector's internal seal for any damage or debris. Consider using a rubber washer if one is missing or worn.
Hose accessory is difficult to connect/disconnect
Ensure the accessory is a Hozelock-compatible quick-connect fitting. Check for debris in the connector or accessory nozzle. Lubricating the O-ring on the accessory slightly can sometimes help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your outdoor tap has a 3/4in BSP thread. If not, or if the thread is a different size, check if the included 1/2in adaptor is suitable.
- Screw the connector directly onto the tap thread until it is snug. Hand-tightening is usually sufficient.
- Attach your Hozelock-compatible hose end or accessory to the connector's quick-connect nozzle.

- Primarily designed for standard 3/4in BSP threaded outdoor taps.
- Includes a 1/2in adaptor for older or alternative tap sizes.
- Fully compatible with all Hozelock watering accessories and hose end connectors.
Care:
- Periodically check the connector for any debris or limescale buildup, especially after winter storage.
- Clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Store in a dry place when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
