Description
A hose connection from a suitable indoor tap
Use a compatible kitchen or basin tap for watering plants, filling containers or light cleaning.
This screw-down adapter fits around a downward-facing spout and provides a male garden click-lock outlet. Check the spout shape, size and control clearance before ordering.
Will it fit your tap?
Start with the downward-facing spout. It needs to enter the adapter's cage and sit squarely against the rubber seal. A spout that fits through the opening can still have a shape that does not seal properly.
The pictured guide shows a cage opening of approximately 30mm wide × 35mm high, an orange cap approximately 60mm wide and an overall height of approximately 120mm. These dimensions describe the adapter, not a guaranteed compatible tap size.
Check the space above and around the spout too. The orange cap must clear the tap body and allow the control or lever to move through its normal travel. Leave room below for the hose connector without straining the tap.
Choose the parts for your hose
The two options use the same tap adapter.
Adapter
One screw-down tap adapter with its male garden click-lock outlet. Choose this if your hose already has a compatible female quick-connect fitting.
Adapter & Connector
One tap adapter plus one black and orange female hose-end connector. The extra connector clips onto the adapter's male outlet. Check its hose-side fit before assembly.
What is separate?
Hose, tap, sink and spray accessories are not included. The adapter's quick-connect outlet does not clamp directly onto a bare hose; it needs the matching female hose-end fitting.
Align the seal before tightening
A careful fit matters more than extra force.
- Turn off the tap. Place the rubber washer in its seat and position the adapter around a suitable spout, keeping the outlet aligned with the seal.
- Tighten gently by hand. Use the orange screw cap to secure the fitting. Do not overtighten; forcing it can damage the adapter or the tap.
- Connect the hose fitting. Clip a compatible female garden connector onto the male outlet. Arrange the hose so it does not pull the adapter sideways.
- Check with water gradually. If water escapes around the spout, turn off the tap, remove the adapter and check the washer and alignment. Do not keep tightening a poor-fitting connection.
Turn off the tap and release hose pressure before removing or readjusting the connection. Remove the adapter when it is no longer needed.
Before choosing your tap adapter
Will it fit any kitchen mixer tap?
No. It needs a compatible downward-facing spout, a suitable sealing surface and enough clearance for the cage and orange cap. The pictured measurements help you compare the adapter with your tap, but shape and control movement matter too. Check the full movement of a nearby lever before ordering.
Do I need to remove the tap's aerator?
This is a screw-down cage adapter, rather than a threaded aerator replacement. It fits around a suitable spout and seals against the rubber washer. Check that the complete spout and its outlet can sit correctly in the adapter; do not assume it will fit simply because an aerator can be unscrewed.
What is the difference between the two options?
Adapter includes the screw-down tap fitting only. Adapter & Connector includes the same tap fitting plus one black and orange female hose-end connector. Both options have the same male click-lock outlet on the tap adapter. Hose is not included.
What should I check if it leaks around the tap?
Turn off the water and release hose pressure first. Remove the adapter, check the washer is correctly seated and realign the spout against it. Make sure the hose is not pulling the fitting out of position. If the tap shape cannot make a proper seal, use a different suitable connection rather than overtightening this one.
