Description
Find the fitting for the job
A loose hose end, a threaded garden tap and a quick-connect accessory need different fittings. This white and grey range brings together hose menders, tap adapters, couplers, valves and filters so you can choose the connection your setup needs.
Start with what you are connecting: bare hose, a garden quick plug or a BSP thread. Then use the option guide below to check the connection at each end and the parts supplied.
Choose one item or kit from the selector above. The range photo shows alternatives; it is not the contents of a single order.
Which option should I choose?
Open the group that matches your task, then select the same item name in the menu above.

One female garden quick socket with a rear ¾-inch BSP female thread and water-stop function. It screws onto a matching male-threaded fitting, not onto bare hose.
Split or control the water flow
In Line Valve
One manual valve with a male garden quick plug at each end. Female hose connectors are separate.
In Line Valve + Connectors
One double-male inline valve and two female quick connectors for ½-inch hose.
3-Way Splitter
One Y coupler with three male garden quick plugs. It has no individual outlet valves; female connectors are separate.
3-Way Splitter + Connectors
One three-male Y coupler and three female quick connectors for ½-inch hose. No individual branch valves.
Male to Female Thread Valve
One manual valve with ¾-inch BSP male and female threads. Quick-connect adapters are separate.
Two Way Splitter
One WL-3032K manifold with 1-inch/¾-inch BSP female tap inlet and two male quick outlets, each with its own valve.

One two-outlet valved splitter with 1-inch/¾-inch BSP female inlet, two female connectors for ½-inch hose and one ¾-inch BSP male-threaded female quick socket.
4-Way Splitter
One WL-3034K manifold with 1-inch/¾-inch BSP female tap inlet and four male quick outlets, each with its own valve. Female hose connectors are separate.
Filter debris or reduce pressure
Water Filter
One removable fine-mesh tap filter with 1-inch/¾-inch BSP female inlet and male garden quick outlet.
Transparent Water Filter
One clear-bodied filter with ¾-inch BSP female inlet, removable filter and male garden quick outlet.
Pressure Reducing Valve
One WL-2233 pressure reducer with removable mesh filter, ¾-inch BSP female inlet and male quick outlet. Specified reduced outlet pressure: 1 bar.
A female socket can have a male thread
The two adapters shown both accept a male garden quick plug at the white socket. The difference is behind that socket: the left adapter has an external ¾-inch BSP male thread; the right has an internal ¾-inch BSP female thread.
These are the two “Expanding Hose Fitting” options. They attach to matching threaded parts rather than gripping bare hose. The female-threaded version is marked STOP; do not assume that feature applies to the male-threaded adapter or every connector in the range.
BSP is a nominal pipe-thread size, not the hose bore. Check the thread and sealing arrangement as well as the quick-connector shape.
Filtering and pressure control are different jobs
The Water Filter shown here has a removable fine-mesh element and fits 1-inch or ¾-inch BSP male tap threads. The Transparent Water Filter is a separate clear-bodied ¾-inch BSP model. Both provide a male garden quick outlet.
The Pressure Reducing Valve is another option: it combines a removable filter with a specified 1-bar reduced outlet pressure. A manual inline valve lets you adjust or shut off flow, but is not the same as a pressure regulator.
Turn off the supply and relieve pressure before opening a filter for cleaning. Tap, hose and accessories in installation photographs are not included. These garden filters are for debris filtration, not drinking-water purification.
Three checks before connecting
Check both ends
Identify bare hose, male plug, female socket or BSP thread at each joint. The mender is for ½-inch hose; threaded and quick-connect sizes describe different interfaces.
Check the kit contents
Single couplers and manifolds do not automatically include hose connectors. Choose a “+ Connectors” option when you need the stated hose-end fittings as well.
Assemble with the water off
Use the correct seal for each threaded joint. Start plastic threads squarely, tighten by hand and avoid forcing them. Restore the water gradually and inspect every joint.
Common fitting questions
Does the hose mender fit ⅝-inch hose?
The mender in this range is specified for ½-inch hose only. Choose it for two bare ½-inch hose ends; do not treat a quick coupler or a BSP adapter as the same type of repair fitting.
Do all the splitters have separate outlet valves?
No. The simple 3-Way Splitter is a Y coupler with three male quick plugs and no individual branch valves. The Two Way Splitter, 4Way Splitter and Tap Splitter + Connectors options have separately controlled outlets.
Are the photos one large connector kit?
No. The main range image shows different available items. Your order contains the selected fitting or the components stated for that kit. Hoses, taps, spray guns and other accessories are separate unless expressly included in the option guide.
Can these fittings be used with Hozelock-style connectors?
The garden quick-connect plugs and sockets are intended for compatible standard garden quick fittings, including matching Hozelock-style connections. Check the actual mating plug or socket. Bare-hose grips and BSP threads must also match separately; compatibility does not mean every item fits every hose or tap.

What is BSP?
What is BSP thread size?
BSP (British Standard Pipe) is a nominal pipe-thread size, not a direct measurement of a fitting’s bore or outside diameter. For example, a ½-inch BSP male thread measures about 21mm across its outer thread crests.
These figures are approximate outside diameters of male BSP threads, to help identify the nominal size. They are not inch-to-millimetre unit conversions:
- 3/8" BSP → 16.66 mm
- 1/2" BSP → 20.95 mm
- 3/4" BSP → 26.44 mm
- 1" BSP → 33.25 mm
- 1.25" BSP → 41.91 mm
- 1.5" BSP → 47.80 mm
- 2" BSP → 59.61 mm
- 3" BSP → 87.88 mm
- 4" BSP → 113.03 mm
All our BSP threads are parallel (BSPP, to ISO 228), not tapered.
Measure across the outside of a male thread, then check its pitch and whether it is parallel or tapered. Diameter alone does not confirm compatibility. Check the product’s stated thread specification before connecting.
