Full details

This Faithfull Plastic Y-Hose Connector is designed for gardeners with medium to large outdoor spaces who need to efficiently manage their watering system. It allows users to split a single water source into two, extending reach and convenience.

FAQs

What size hose is this connector compatible with?

This connector is designed for standard 12.5mm (1/2 inch) bore garden hoses.

Can I use this connector with hoses from different brands?

Yes, it is compatible with most other leading brands of hose fittings and accessories.

How does the 3-point fixing system work?

The 3-point fixing system uses three points of contact to create a secure and watertight seal between the hose and the connector, preventing leaks.

Is this connector suitable for all weather conditions?

It is made from durable ABS plastic with a TPR grip suitable for general use. For extreme temperatures or heavy impacts, metal alternatives might offer greater resilience.

How do I split my water supply into two?

Connect the Y-Hose Connector to your tap. Then, attach two separate hoses to the two outlets on the Y-connector. Water will now be supplied to both connected hoses simultaneously.

What is the benefit of the soft grip coating?

The TPR soft grip coating provides a comfortable, non-slip surface, making it easier to connect and disconnect hoses, especially when your hands are wet.

Troubleshooting

Leaking from the connection point

Ensure the hose is fully inserted into the connector and the 3-point fixing system is properly engaged. Check for any debris obstructing the seal.

Difficulty connecting or disconnecting a hose

Ensure the quick-release mechanism is fully pulled back. Check the hose end and the connector for dirt or damage. If the hose is stiff, try running warm water over the connector briefly.

Low water pressure at one or both outlets

Verify that the main water supply is fully open. Check both hoses and any connected accessories for blockages or kinks. Ensure the Y-connector is not the sole point of restriction; check the tap's flow rate.
