Adapt to Hoselink

You can connect just about anything to our no-burst, no-leak fittings! 

There’s just one simple principle to understand about adapting to Hoselink’s connector ecosystem, and it’s that any watering accessory or device with a screw thread can be attached for a watertight connection. When accessories have a click-on fitting that cannot be removed, simply connect to it using our Click-on Adapter Set.

Taps

There are two common tap sizes found in Australia: 1” and ¾” BSP thread size. The Hoselink Universal Tap Connector will fit either size via the included size reducer. Rest assured, Hoselink will fit your garden tap!

Hoses

Hoselink’s Hose End Connectors are suitable for fitting on to most hoses and come in three sizes to suit a 12mm, 14mm or 18mm hose. 

Most household garden hoses are 12mm in internal diameter. External diameters will vary depending on the type of hose you’re using, as well as the quality

Sprinklers & Sprayers

  • If you’re switching your hose to Hoselink, then it’s a good idea to change the connection on your existing sprinklers and sprayers too. First, see if you can unscrew the ‘click-on style’ fitting. If you can, then replace it with either an Accessory Connector (most common) or Universal Tap Connector, depending on whether you need to fit a male or female thread.

Pressure Washers

  • Hoselink fittings are compatible with Gerni, Karcher and other brands of pressure cleaners to ensure a secure and stable connection between the hose and machine.

    All pressure cleaners are different, so at the water inlet unscrew the ‘click-on style’ fitting to check whether the machine has a male or female thread.

Fertiliser Bottles

  • There is only one way to connect ready-made fertiliser bottles such Yates Weed’n’Feed and other liquid hose-on products.

    The Click-on Adapter Set will connect your Hoselink hose to the ‘click-on style’ connection on the bottle.

Irrigation

Even irrigation systems can fail when used with ‘click-on style’ fittings. Even though not designed for use with 13mm black polypipe, many customers have successfully used Hoselink on their irrigation system to ensure a watertight connection

  • Fitting instructions differ slightly for irrigation pipes, so follow these steps to fit a Hoselink Hose End Connector directly on to 13mm black polypipe:

    1. Cut a 2mm gap into the split in the white split ring.
    2. Slide the nut up the hose.
    3. Push the white split ring on to the end of the polypipe, then push the pipe down to the bottom of the stem.
    4. Let the white split ring push down into the connector.
    5. Screw on the nut to secure.

Caravans

Connecting with Hoselink gives you peace of mind knowing you have a secure, reliable, burst-proof connection between your van and the tap.

Before you purchase any fittings, confirm what type of water inlet your caravan has. Some vans are fitted with a BSP threaded inlet (standard Australian connection), while others are fitted with an NPT threaded inlet (US). You’ll also need to note whether the van has a male or female thread. The great news is that Hoselink has a connector to suit any inlet type!

A sprayer can be handy in case you need to wash your car or van; therefore, we recommend a Water Wise Starter Set as a starting point, plus any additional components required.

Alternate Water Supply

Hoselink Connectors are suitable for use with all types of water supply

  • hoselink fittings connected to water tank

    Water Tanks

    Most water tanks have a conventional tap that will accommodate standard Hoselink connectors. As Hoselink fittings can withstand very high water pressure (550psi) without breaking or bursting off, even tanks installed with pumps are assured of a watertight connection.

  • Hoselink fittings used on bore water tap connected to water tank

    Bore Water

    Hoselink fittings are suitable for use with bore water. As bore water is often associated with low water pressure, we recommend using a straight-through sprayer (such as the Brass Spray Nozzle or Blaster), as opposed to one of the spray guns which can impact water pressure.

Recycled Water

Recycled water taps are configured with a reverse thread. By first attaching Hoselink’s Recycled Water Tap Adapter, standard hose connectors can then be attached to the recycled water tap
