Full details
The Claber 8589 Two Way Tap Connector is designed for gardeners and homeowners who want to simultaneously connect two watering devices to a single 3/4" male threaded tap. Its key benefit is doubling the tap's utility, allowing for independent operation of two hoses or timers. A potential caveat is that it requires a 3/4" male threaded tap for compatibility. This adapter features a durable construction and provides a secure, leak-free connection for expanding irrigation capabilities.

FAQs
What size is the male thread on this connector?
The connector features a 3/4" male thread, designed to fit taps with a corresponding 3/4" female thread.
Can I use this on a tap with a female thread?
No, this model (8589) has a 3/4" male thread and is designed specifically for taps that have a 3/4" male thread.
How do I install the connector?
Simply screw the connector directly onto the compatible 3/4" male threaded tap by hand until snug.
Can I control the water flow to each outlet independently?
The connector itself does not have individual flow control valves. Independent control depends on the devices (e.g., timers, shut-off valves on hoses) connected to each outlet.
What materials is the connector made from?
The connector is constructed from durable materials suitable for outdoor use and regular water exposure.
Will this work with standard garden hoses?
Yes, provided your garden hose has a standard 3/4" female hose connector, it will attach to the outlets of this adapter.
Troubleshooting
Leak at the tap connection
Ensure the tap has a 3/4" male thread and the connector is screwed on straight and hand-tightened securely. Check the tap's thread for damage. A rubber washer may be needed if not integrated into the tap.
Leak at the hose connection
Verify that the hose connectors are properly seated on the adapter's outlets and are tightened. Check the hose washers for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
Reduced water pressure
Water pressure is dependent on your home's supply. Using two devices simultaneously may divide the available pressure. Ensure no other taps or significant water users are active in the house. Check connected devices for internal blockages.
