Product Information

Full details

The AP Supplies Three Way Tap Splitter is an ideal solution for homeowners and professional gardeners who need to manage multiple irrigation lines from a single 3/4 inch BSP outdoor tap. Its primary benefit is the ability to independently control water flow to three separate hoses, streamlining tasks like lawn watering, patio cleaning, and vehicle washing simultaneously. While highly durable, users should note that it requires a standard 3/4 inch BSP threaded tap and is optimized specifically for Geka type quick-connect couplings, which may necessitate an adapter if you currently use standard snap-on plastic connectors.

FAQs

Does this fit a standard garden tap?

Yes, it is designed for a standard 3/4 inch BSP threaded garden tap.

Can I use standard plastic garden hose connectors?

No, this unit is specifically designed for Geka type quick-connectors. You would need a Geka-to-standard-hose adapter to use plastic snap-on fittings.

Is the material lead-free brass?

The unit is made of high-quality brass with a nickel finish; it is intended for irrigation and outdoor use, not for potable water drinking systems.

Can I leave this outside year-round?

While the nickel plating is corrosion-resistant, it is best practice to remove and drain the unit during periods of freezing temperatures.

Will this reduce my water pressure?

Running all three hoses at maximum capacity may cause a pressure drop depending on your main water line's flow capacity, but the independent valves allow you to balance the flow as needed.

Troubleshooting

Leakage at the main tap connection

Ensure the rubber washer is inside the splitter inlet and that it is tightened securely against the tap threads.

Hose connector will not lock into the Geka outlet

Check the Geka fitting for debris or dirt and ensure you are using a compatible Geka-style coupling on your hose.

Stiff or hard-to-turn valve handle

Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the valve stem to ensure smooth operation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable brass construction ensures long-term reliability.
  • Nickel-plated finish prevents corrosion in outdoor environments.
  • Independent valves allow for precise flow management.
  • Geka couplings offer a more secure seal than standard plastic fittings.
  • Efficiently expands a single tap into a multi-hose irrigation hub.

Cons

  • Requires Geka-style connectors on your hoses.
  • Adds significant length to the tap, which may restrict space in tight areas.
  • Does not include standard 1/2 inch plastic snap-on adapters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your main outdoor tap is turned off. Screw the 3/4 inch BSP female inlet of the splitter onto your tap, ensuring the internal washer is seated correctly to prevent drips. Once hand-tightened, attach your hoses equipped with Geka-type connectors to the three outlets by pushing them into the fitting and rotating to lock.

For care, periodically wipe the nickel-plated body with a damp cloth to remove grit or debris. During winter months in freezing climates, it is recommended to disconnect the splitter from the tap and drain any residual water to prevent internal expansion damage, even though the brass construction is highly weather-resistant.
