FAQs

What tap sizes does the Flopro Dual Tap Connector fit?

It includes adaptors for both 3/4in and 1/2in BSP standard garden taps.

Can I use different brands of hoses with this connector?

Yes, the Snap Fit connectors are designed for compatibility with all major watering brands, ensuring easy connection to most standard hoses.

How do I control the water flow to each hose?

Each outlet on the connector has an independent control valve. Simply turn these valves to adjust the water flow to each connected hose.

Is the connector suitable for outdoor use year-round?

Yes, it is made from premium grade, UV-protected plastic, making it durable for outdoor use. However, storing it indoors during harsh winter months can prolong its lifespan.

Does this connector reduce water pressure?

The connector itself does not inherently reduce water pressure. However, splitting the flow from a single tap to two hoses will result in lower pressure at each individual outlet compared to using a single hose.

How easy is it to install?

Installation is straightforward. It typically involves screwing the adaptor onto the tap, attaching the connector, and then connecting the hoses. No special tools are usually required.

Troubleshooting

Water leakage from the tap connection

Ensure the tap adaptor is screwed on tightly. Check the rubber washer inside the adaptor for damage and replace if necessary.

Low water flow from one or both outlets

Check that the individual control valves are fully open. Ensure the tap is fully turned on and that there are no kinks in the connected hoses. Verify that the main tap water pressure is sufficient.

Connector won't attach to the tap

Verify that your tap has a standard 3/4in or 1/2in BSP thread. If not, a different type of adaptor may be required.

Plastic appears faded or brittle

This may indicate prolonged exposure to intense UV light. While the plastic is UV-protected, extreme conditions can eventually affect it. Ensure proper storage when not in use.
