What size is the tap connector?

Is this splitter compatible with all garden hoses?
It is compatible with 'Hozelock' style hose connectors, which are very common. Please ensure your hose connectors match this standard.
Can I use this splitter indoors?
Yes, it can be used indoors for tasks like connecting dishwashers or washing machines to a water supply, provided the tap is compatible.
How do I control the water flow for each hose?
Each outlet has an individual on/off valve that you can turn to precisely control the water speed and pressure for that specific hose.
What is the splitter made of?
The splitter is constructed from high-quality, solid brass, making it durable, eco-friendly, and resistant to corrosion and pressure.
Do I need any tools to install this splitter?
No, installation is tool-free. You simply screw the splitter onto the tap by hand and connect your hoses.
Will this splitter fit a non-standard tap?
It is designed for standard 3/4" taps. If your tap has a different thread size or type, it may not fit correctly.
Troubleshooting
Water leaks from the tap connection.
Ensure the splitter is screwed on tightly by hand. Check the tap thread and the splitter's internal seal for damage or debris. A rubber washer may be needed if the tap connection is worn.
Water leaks from hose connections.
Verify that the hoses are securely attached and that the 'Hozelock' connectors are properly seated. Check the hose end washers for wear or damage.
Low water pressure from one or both outlets.
Ensure the individual on/off valves are fully open. Check hoses for kinks or blockages. Verify that the main tap is fully open.
Difficulty turning the on/off valves.
Gently try to work the valve back and forth. If stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant applied to the valve stem (away from water contact) might help, but avoid over-lubrication.
