FAQs

What size thread does the splitter use?

The splitter uses standard 2cm B.S.P. threads.

Can I use this with a pressure washer?

Yes, you can use one outlet for a pressure washer and another for a standard hose, provided your water supply can handle the flow requirements.

What materials is the splitter made of?

The splitter is made of plastic.

How do I prevent leaks?

Ensure all connections are tight but not over-tightened. Check the washers and replace them if necessary.

Is this splitter suitable for hot water?

It is designed for standard garden use and is not recommended for high-temperature applications.

Can I use this splitter with different types of hoses?

Yes, as long as your hoses have standard connectors that fit the splitter's outlets.

Troubleshooting

The splitter is leaking.

Ensure the splitter is securely attached to the tap and the hoses are properly connected. Tighten the connections if necessary, but do not overtighten.

Low water pressure from one or both outlets.

Check if the shut-off valves are fully open. Ensure the water source has sufficient pressure. If using both outlets simultaneously, the water pressure may be reduced.

The splitter is difficult to attach to the tap.

Make sure the tap threads are clean. Apply some PTFE tape to the tap threads before attaching the splitter to improve the seal.
