Gardena Twin-Tap Connector

It is easy to install and the turn on off is a much improvement over earlier models

Seems like a very nice piece, but the adapter that fits it to the tap in the wall is a cheap but if plastic and is threaded, so won’t fit right, and leaks. I emailed Gardena in Canada, and they said they’d send me that one piece, but I’m still waiting.

The adapter that comes with this is NOT for the standard, 3/4" male hose thread commonly used in the U.S. The packaging indicates it's for "G 3/4" - 26.5mm thread", presumably what hose faucets in Europe have.

Wow! The fitting that attaches to the faucet came with an adapter for standard outdoor faucets which are installed all across the USA. That adapter, however, was the weakest link in the quality of the overall item. The threaded portion of this adapter was only about 1/2 of the length needed to screw onto the faucet and screw into the Gardena unit so that the Gardena unit could do its job effectively, leak-free, and with stability. We purchased this unit to pair with a smart valve for watering the lawn in our backyard. Because of the poor adapter quality (threads would have stripped easily if we had cranked it) and because of the shortness of the threaded area of the adapter, the unit would never be able to attach well to the outdoor faucet. As a result, this unit now spends its time on a shelf in our garage waiting for a better adapter. This was our worst experience with Gardena products. The rest of our Gardena products have exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend them. We hope this story helps you.

THIS ITEM WILL NOT WORK WITH GHT. IT'S A EUROPEAN THREAD. DO NOT BUY IF YOU LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES YOU WILL NOT BE HAPPY UNLESS YOU WANT THINGS TO LEAK A LOT

Ho acquistato il distributore Gardena 08193-20 per organizzare meglio i collegamenti del mio impianto di irrigazione e devo dire che si è rivelato un accessorio davvero utile. ✅ Cosa mi è piaciuto Qualità Gardena: il materiale è solido, ben rifinito e progettato per durare. Appena in mano si percepisce che non è un prodotto “economico”, ma pensato per un uso intenso da giardino. Compatibilità perfetta: si integra senza problemi con gli attacchi Gardena standard. Nessuna perdita, nessun allentamento, tutto si collega con un clic. Organizzazione e praticità: grazie al distributore posso collegare più dispositivi (tubi, irrigatori, lancia, ecc.) senza dover continuamente staccare e riattaccare tutto. Funzionamento fluido: le valvole scorrono bene e si manovrano facilmente anche con le mani bagnate. Ottimo per impianti complessi: se hai diverse zone da irrigare o strumenti differenti, questo pezzo semplifica davvero il lavoro.

This is a far more attractive water distributor than the Y splitter that it has replaced. As with all Gardena products, its build quality is second to none. It comes with two hose adapters which fit onto each of the 3/4” threaded outlets. I kept one in place for our garden hose and attached a water timer to the other outlet, connected to a micro-drip watering systems for our pot plants. We have a standard British garden tap with a ¾” thread. The Gardena is designed to work with both 1” and ¾” taps via an enclosed adapter. I tried screwing the Gardena adaptor tightly onto my tap but had a significant leak. I solved the problem by using thread tape, which had usefully been provided with the water timer that I was testing. I think the problem is mainly related to my old garden tap than any fault of the Gardena device. The plastic ¾” connections at the bottom end fitted perfectly to my water timer with zero leaks, whilst the supplied hose adaptor also worked perfectly. I am very pleased with the product and it looks as if will last for many years, providing that it is removed each year before the onset of frosty weather in winter.

Muy fácil de instalar, se nota la calidad en cuanto lo tienes entre manos y es conectarlo al grifo y ni una pérdida, los dos grifos cierran y abren sin problema, estoy muy contento con el producto y la marca.

Bardzo dobry produkt. Spełnia moje oczekiwania. Bardzo dobra jakość.

Avec Gardena la qualité est au rendez-vous. Cela me permet d'équiper mon arrosage auto avec deux possibilités. Facile, robuste. Aucun souci depuis des années.
