Product Information

Full details

The Gardena 18220-50 Tap Connector is designed for homeowners seeking a reliable way to connect their garden hoses to a 13 mm (1/2") tap. Its primary benefit is the 'Anti-Splash' feature, allowing for convenient water removal without mess. A minor caveat is its plastic construction, which, while durable, may not offer the same long-term ruggedness as metal alternatives. This connector provides a secure, waterproof, and frost-proof link between your tap and hose, ensuring efficient garden watering.

FAQs

What size tap does this connector fit?

This Gardena tap connector is designed to fit taps with a 13 mm (1/2") connecting thread.

What does the 'Anti-Splash' feature do?

The 'Anti-Splash' feature reduces water spray when water is being drawn directly from the tap, making it convenient for filling watering cans or buckets.

Is this connector suitable for outdoor winter use?

The connector is frost-proof, meaning it is designed to withstand cold temperatures. However, for prolonged periods of extreme cold or when winterizing your hose system, it is advisable to disconnect and store it indoors.

Can I use this connector with any garden hose?

Yes, it is part of the Original Gardena System and is designed to connect securely to Gardena hoses and other compatible watering equipment.

How do I clean the tap connector?

You can clean the connector with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

What is the country of origin for this product?

This product is manufactured in Germany.

Does this come with a hose or just the tap connector?

This product is a tap connector only. It is designed to connect your existing garden hose to the tap.

Troubleshooting

Water leakage at the tap connection.

Ensure the connector is screwed on tightly and squarely to the tap. Check for any debris on the tap's threads or inside the connector. If the rubber seal inside is damaged, it may need replacement.

Water spraying excessively from the tap connection.

Verify that the 'Anti-Splash' feature is functioning correctly and not obstructed. Ensure the hose is securely connected to the connector's outlet.

Connector is difficult to attach or remove.

Ensure you are using it on the correct tap size (13 mm / 1/2"). Check tap threads for damage. Clean both the tap threads and the connector's internal threads if they appear dirty.

Connector cracks or breaks.

While frost-proof, extreme cold can still damage plastic. Store indoors during harsh winter conditions. Inspect for any pre-existing cracks. Contact customer support if the product appears defective.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Convenient anti-splash feature for mess-free water access.
  • Secure and waterproof connection.
  • Frost-proof design for all-weather use.
  • Easy to attach and detach from the tap.
  • Durable plastic construction.

Cons

  • Plastic construction may be less durable than metal options over extended periods.
  • Only compatible with 13 mm (1/2") taps; requires adapters for other sizes.
  • Quantity per pack is 1 pc(s), meaning multiple purchases are needed for different taps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the Gardena 18220-50, simply screw the connector firmly onto a compatible 13 mm (1/2") tap. Ensure the tap is turned off before attaching or detaching the connector. Once attached, connect your garden hose to the other end of the connector.

Compatibility: This tap connector is designed specifically for 13 mm (1/2") diameter taps. It is part of the Original Gardena System and is compatible with other Gardena hoses and connection devices. It is not designed for 19 mm or 33.3 mm (G1) taps; separate adapters or different models would be required for those sizes.

Care: Clean the connector periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Store in a dry place when not in use, especially during prolonged periods of frost or when the hose system is winterized. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
