Product Information

Full details

The Hozelock Dual Tap Connector Adapter is designed for gardeners who need to run multiple hoses from a single outdoor tap. Its key benefit is providing independent control over two connected hoses, allowing you to manage water flow precisely for different tasks. A potential caveat is that it requires a standard threaded outdoor tap for direct connection.

FAQs

What size taps does this adapter fit?

It fits most standard outdoor taps with 3/4″ (26.5mm) BSP threads. It also includes an adapter to fit older 1/2″ (21mm) BSP taps.

Can I control the water flow for each hose separately?

Yes, the adapter features independent control valves for each of the two outlets, allowing you to adjust or turn off the water flow for each hose individually.

Do I need any special tools to install it?

No, installation is straightforward. It simply screws onto a compatible threaded tap. You might need to tighten it by hand or with a gentle grip from pliers if needed.

What are the included hose connectors?

It comes with two Hozelock male quick-release couplers, designed for easy attachment and detachment of compatible hoses.

Can I connect more than two hoses?

This adapter is designed for two hoses. For more complex setups, you could potentially use it 'inline' with other Hozelock connectors, but the adapter itself provides two outlets.

Is it suitable for indoor taps?

No, this adapter is specifically designed for outdoor, threaded taps typically found in gardens.

Troubleshooting

No water from one outlet

Ensure the individual control valve for that outlet is fully open. Check that the hose is securely connected.

Low water pressure

Verify that both control valves are fully open. Check for kinks in the hoses. Ensure the tap is fully turned on. Clean any debris from the tap threads and inside the connector.

Connector leaks at the tap

Ensure the correct thread adapter is used for your tap size. Tighten the connector firmly onto the tap. Check the tap washer and connector seal for damage or debris and replace if necessary.

Hose connectors won't attach

Ensure you are using Hozelock compatible male connectors. Check the quick-release mechanism on the adapter and the hose connector for debris and ensure it moves freely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Allows two hoses to operate from a single tap.

  • Compatible with most standard garden taps.
  • Simple screw-on installation.

Cons

  • Requires a threaded outdoor tap for direct connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your outdoor tap has a standard threaded outlet (either 1/2″ or 3/4″ BSP).
  2. If using the 3/4″ (26.5mm) BSP thread, screw the connector directly onto the tap.
  3. If using the 1/2″ (21mm) BSP thread, attach the included adapter to the connector first, then screw onto the tap.
  4. Attach your Hozelock compatible hose-end connectors to the two outlets.

Compatibility:

  • Fits standard 1/2″ (21mm) and 3/4″ (26.5mm) BSP threaded outdoor taps.
  • Compatible with Hozelock quick-release hose-end connectors.

Care:

  • Periodically check the rubber seals for wear and tear. Replace if damaged.
  • Clean the exterior with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • In freezing conditions, disconnect from the tap and store indoors to prevent damage.
