HOZELOCK - Multi-Tap Connector 2-Way : Ideal for Creating 2 Circuits on a Single Tap, With Independent Flow Valve for Each Outlet [2252 0000]

Great bit of kit to save swapping hose pipes all the time. Well made & no leaks as expected

Read all the reviews escpecially the negatives, but bought it anyway to make my own mind up. Glad I did.It's perfect for me but it was bought for my wife because of the on / off rotating dial which are large enough for small arthritic hands, rather than the little lever types, my wife struggled with to open. I use all 4 of the connectors which supply various gardening items Watering the garden/pond/cat scarerjet washer and have no issues especially leaks.. Hozelocks are generally very good and this is no exception. Sturdy strong and a doddle to install and use

Works well, but purchased to replace identical model which had sprung an irreparable leak. So, I expect a similarly limited life.

I have this connected to an outdoor tap on a lower balcony. One connector is used for a hose on that balcony and the other to a connector hose which is on the balcony above. It's easy to install and use. The tap is mains pressure and there has been no leaking. I bought this one because it has the two independent valves which provide another layer of leak protection vs the version without.

This is a great piece of kit for the garden, especially if you have a green house etc that needs watering and you don't want to drag a hose pipe in each day. From one outside tap I have been able to run a hose to the polytunnel with the four way garden tap. This then splits off to a hose for inside the polytunnel, the sprinkler system and a hose that does the rest of the garden and still have one connector free!It is good that the connector can be fed water from either side of the unit and that each tap can individually be turned on or off. No leaks so far either. Obviously you can't really run all the taps at the same time due to pressure loss.Downsides are that the bracket to mount it to the wall allow the connector unit to slip out quite easily. Also if you have an automated timer attached, unless you connect it to end connector you will end up covering the adjacent tap. The only way around this is to run a length of hose to the timer rather than connect it directly to the four way connector, which does add extra cost and connectors.Other than those two issues I am really pleased that it has worked so well.

This item replaced a previous one which was broken slightly a different design, but does the job

I’ve recently set-up a new hose and irrigation system in our garden, and I required a manifold to be able to split the water around the various locations. I wanted to be able to place an automated irrigation hub, while also maintaining a permanent connection to the Hozelock auto-reel hosepipe in my rear garden, hose that feeds a smaller Hozelock hosepipe in the front garden and leaving one tap available for other applications. Yeah, I could just unplug things but that’s just manual labour and we can do better than that can’t we?!This Hozelock 4-way tap connector fitted the bill perfectly. It was very easily to install and has worked flawlessly so far. It mounts to the wall with two fixing screws holding a plastic bracket in place. You then snap the manifold over the top of it and hook up your pipes. This arrangement allows you to disconnect the manifold and store it away over winter should you not wish to risk freeze-damage.A good solid product from the market leader.

This product is good quality and does the job well. But the taps operate in a back to front way. Eg To turn on you have to turn them clockwise. I think this is poor design but Hozelock were not interested.
