Description
Connect a hose from a suitable kitchen tap
This blue kitchen tap adapter clamps around a compatible downward-facing spout and provides a male garden quick-connect outlet. It offers a removable connection for watering or rinsing when a suitable indoor tap is the convenient water source.
One adapter supplied. Hose, female hose connector and tap are not included.
Check the tap before choosing the adapter
The illustrated guide shows a maximum tap width and height of approximately 3.5cm. Measure the area the frame must pass around, then check that the white seal can sit squarely beneath the water outlet.
The tap must have a suitable downward-facing spout and enough room for the frame and lever. A tap within the guide dimensions can still be unsuitable if its shape, angle or outlet position prevents the seal from aligning.
Pull-out spray heads and broad decorative spouts need particular care when checking compatibility. This adapter fits around the tap; it does not screw into an aerator thread.
Position the seal, then adjust the clamp
Loosen the lower section and open the blue lever so the frame can pass around the tap. Position the white seal against the downward-facing outlet, close the lever and hand-tighten the lower section until the adapter is held securely.
A compatible female garden hose connector clips onto the male nipple below. The standard quick-connect format works with suitable Hozelock/Gardena-style female fittings; a bare hose cannot attach directly to the nipple.
Support the hose so it does not pull on the adapter. Open the tap slowly and inspect the seal. If water escapes around the spout, turn off the supply and reposition the seal; overtightening is not a substitute for a correctly aligned, suitable tap.
A removable connection for watering
Check the tap fit first, then connect your hose.
Match the spout
Check the illustrated clearance guide and the direction of the outlet. The white seal needs to meet the water outlet squarely.
Add the hose fitting
Fit a compatible female quick connector to your hose before clipping it onto this adapter. Choose the hose-end fitting for your hose size and wall.
Finish and disconnect
Keep the supply attended during use. Turn off the tap and release pressure before detaching the hose or removing the adapter.
Questions about the blue tap adapter
Will it fit any tap smaller than 3.5cm?
No. The dimensions are an approximate clearance guide. The spout must face downward and its shape must allow the frame to fit and the white seal to align with the outlet. Check the illustrated guide and your tap's shape before ordering.
Is it a threaded aerator adapter?
No. The frame fits around the outside of a suitable tap, with the white seal beneath its outlet. The blue lever and threaded lower base adjust the clamp. They do not replace or screw into the tap's aerator thread.
Can I connect a bare hose directly?
No. You need a compatible female garden quick connector on the hose end. The adapter has a male garden quick-connect nipple. A hose and its female connector are separate from this single-adapter product.
What should I check if water escapes around the spout?
Turn off the tap, release pressure and check that the white seal is centred against the outlet. Reposition the adapter and hand-adjust the base. Do not keep tightening against a poorly aligned or unsuitable tap; overtightening can damage the fitting or tap.
