Gardena Twin-Tap Connector: Connects Two Devices to The tap, can be Used with Gardena Water Computers and timers, Water Flow can be Regulated or Switched Off (8193-20)

This is a far more attractive water distributor than the Y splitter that it has replaced. As with all Gardena products, its build quality is second to none. It comes with two hose adapters which fit onto each of the 3/4” threaded outlets. I kept one in place for our garden hose and attached a water timer to the other outlet, connected to a micro-drip watering systems for our pot plants.We have a standard British garden tap with a ¾” thread. The Gardena is designed to work with both 1” and ¾” taps via an enclosed adapter. I tried screwing the Gardena adaptor tightly onto my tap but had a significant leak. I solved the problem by using thread tape, which had usefully been provided with the water timer that I was testing. I think the problem is mainly related to my old garden tap than any fault of the Gardena device. The plastic ¾” connections at the bottom end fitted perfectly to my water timer with zero leaks, whilst the supplied hose adaptor also worked perfectly.I am very pleased with the product and it looks as if will last for many years, providing that it is removed each year before the onset of frosty weather in winter.

I needed something that would allow me to use 2 hosepipes from the same outside tap. This was great - easy to fit and use and appears well made.

This is a very useful and effective tap splitter. It is simple to install and does not leak. I left it while away on holiday for 10 days and am pleased to say that it functioned perfectly. I had one tap on a slow drip and the other hooked up to a timer (bought separately) for a daily watering. The little orange dials let you control the flow of water to just what is needed.I bought a more expensive garden water hose splitter at the same time. The more expensive one is on the garage shelf, but this simpler, more straightforward one is still in use. I find it extremely helpful to have one hose going to a sprinker and the other to a watering nozzle gun. It saves me a lot of time and hassle in disconnecting and reconnecting the hose.The material being plastic, it receives 4 starts instead of 5. I expect that it will last only a few years before needing to be replaced due to the plastic becoming more brittle and eventually developing a leak or crack. But in terms of value for money, this is a fine item, and recommended.

If you have one garden tap but want to have a garden watering system plus a conventional hose you need a splitter like this. I have tried many both plastic and metal and this is the best. Screwed it on and worked perfectly which I cannot say for other products I have tried. Most need frequent adjustment to stop leaks.Do not forget to take it off in the winter. No splitter survives a cold winter.Note from the photo that it works well with products from other companies. There is a Hoselock connector to the hose and a Claber timing sustem.

Nothing much to say about this. It works fine. We've had one for a few years with no obvious signs of wear and tear, so bought another one for another external tap. Being plastic it's will most likely survive frosts, etc, but I took ours off over winter to put a frost cover on the tap anyway.

Very good value for money. Easy to fit. Easier to operate than the previous version with horizontal twist knobs.

I was slightly dubious on receipt that the item is made of plastic as the previous connector was metal. But it’s absolutely brilliant as there is no dripping at all compared to the former model when the tap is turned on. The only slight problem I found was that it needs to be screwed around the tap at the wall rather than using a push-up male/female connector. I encountered a bit of scraping on each side of the Gardena as it spun around hitting the wall at each turn! My tap is not noticeably close to the wall but I missed this detail when I ordered the Gardena. However, once installed I am very happy with it.

I measured before buying but the thread on this is different to my tap.I'd recommend it if it fits yours, my tap it's very old, I have bought several adapters and none of them fit, probably no longer exist.Apart from that it looks sturdy and well made
