Product Information
Full details
The Hozelock Round Mixer Indoor Tap Connector is an essential tool for gardeners and homeowners who lack threaded outdoor taps, allowing for a secure link between indoor mixer taps and standard garden hoses. It is specifically designed for round or oval spouts with a maximum diameter of 24mm, providing a reliable, leak-free connection for both indoor and outdoor watering tasks. While it offers excellent versatility, users should note that it is best suited for low-to-medium water pressure and requires careful tightening to prevent the connector from slipping off rounded tap surfaces.

FAQs
Does this fit square-shaped taps?
No, this connector is specifically designed for round and oval-shaped spouts up to 24mm in diameter.
Can I leave this on the tap permanently?
It is designed for temporary use; leaving it on permanently may cause the rubber seal to degrade or deform, leading to potential leaks.
Will this work with hot water?
This connector is designed for use with cold water systems. Using it with very hot water may cause the rubber seal to soften and fail.
What is the maximum diameter this will fit?
The connector is designed for taps with a maximum diameter of 24mm.
Do I need any tools to install it?
No tools are required. The stainless steel clip is designed to be tightened and loosened by hand.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking from the top of the connector
Ensure the rubber seal is properly seated against the tap and tighten the stainless steel clip further to increase pressure on the seal.
Connector slips off the tap when water is on
Clean the surface of the tap spout to remove soap scum or lime scale, then ensure the clip is tightened securely. Reduce water pressure if the tap is too tapered.
Difficult to attach to the spout
Loosen the stainless steel clip as far as it will go before attempting to push the connector onto the spout.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, loosen the stainless steel clip completely and position the connector onto the tap spout. Tighten the wing nut or screw until the rubber seal is compressed against the tap material. Check that the connector sits square on the spout to avoid unnecessary side-loading. The unit is compatible with most standard garden hose quick-connect systems. For maintenance, periodically inspect the internal rubber seal for debris or cracks. After use, it is recommended to loosen the clip and remove the connector from the tap to prevent the rubber from deforming under constant pressure. Keep the stainless steel clip clean to ensure smooth operation during adjustments.
