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.

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.
