Hozelock Hose Accessories: Which Connectors, Guns and Adaptors You Need
Hozelock's click-together system is what makes it so easy to use: fit a connector to the tap and to each end of the hose, and every gun, nozzle, sprinkler and reel in the range clicks on and off by hand. This guide covers the main Hozelock hose accessories, what each one does, and which you need for your set-up.
Start at the tap: tap connectors
The tap connector turns your tap into a Hozelock click connection. Choose the one that fits your tap:
- Threaded outside tap: the 2175 threaded tap connector fits 3/4" taps, with an adaptor for older 1/2" taps. It suits most outside taps in the UK.
- Tap with no thread: the 2176 round tap connector clamps over round or oval spouts 14 to 18mm across.
- Kitchen mixer tap: the 2177 mixer tap connector, or the 2274 multi tap adapter, which fits both mixer and round taps.
- Indoor threaded tap: the 2304 indoor tap connector.
- A metal option: the Pro 2041 metal tap connector, for taps that get heavy use.
Our Hozelock tap connector guide explains how to measure your tap if you're not sure.
On the hose: hose end connectors and AquaStop
Each end of the hose needs a connector. There are two kinds, and most people need one of each.
- Hose end connector, for the tap end. The 2070 Soft Touch connector fits 12.5mm (1/2") and 15mm (5/8") hose and has a grip that's easy to hold with wet hands. The 2166 is the standard version, and the 2050 Plus is the heavier-duty one.
- AquaStop connector, for the accessory end. It shuts off the water when you unclip a gun or sprinkler, so you can swap accessories without going back to the tap. Choose the 2075 AquaStop or the 2055 AquaStop Plus.
Tip: the AquaStop goes at the accessory end. At the tap end, use a standard hose end connector.
If you're starting from scratch, the 2385 hose connector kit and the 2352 complete connector kit with nozzle include the connectors you need in one pack.
Spray guns and nozzles
These click straight onto the AquaStop on the end of your hose.
- A simple adjustable nozzle: the 2292 adjustable nozzle twists from a fine spray to a jet.
- A nozzle with more patterns: the 3-in-1 variable nozzle, also available as a kit with a 2075 AquaStop.
- A multi-pattern spray gun: the 2669 Multi Spray Gun has a gentle shower for seedlings, a jet for cleaning and settings in between. The 2679 pack comes with an AquaStop connector.

More than one hose from one tap: tap splitters
A splitter lets you run a hose and a timer, or two hoses, from one outside tap, each with its own on/off lever.
Further down the hose, the 2293 Y connector splits one hose into two.
Joining, repairing and adapting hoses
- Join two hoses: fit a hose end connector to each and click them into a 2291 double male hose joiner, or the metal Pro 2044 joiner.
- Repair a split hose: cut out the damaged section and join the two ends with a 2100 hose repair connector.
- Use a threaded accessory with Hozelock: the 2289 accessory adaptor screws into any fitting with a 3/4" female thread and turns it into a click connection.
- Connect a flat or spiral hose: the 2170 adaptor screws onto the threaded end so it works with Hozelock fittings.
- Replace a hose reel inlet: the 2169 hose reel adapter connects your supply hose to a Hozelock reel or cart.
Automatic watering accessories
The same tap can run a water timer and a micro irrigation system.
- Water timers fit between the tap connector and the hose. Compare them in our Hozelock water timers range.
- A pressure regulator goes after the timer when you run drippers or micro sprays. The 7022 pressure regulator suits Hozelock micro systems.
- 13mm supply tube and 4mm micro tube, with drippers, sprays and fittings, make up the watering system itself. Read our Hozelock automatic watering guide.
Which accessories do I need?
- Basic hose for hand watering: a tap connector, a hose end connector, an AquaStop and a spray gun or nozzle.
- Hose plus a sprinkler: the same, plus a Hozelock sprinkler. With the AquaStop you can swap the gun for the sprinkler without turning the tap off.
- Hose plus a timer or drip system: add a tap splitter, so the hose and the timer each have their own outlet.
- Two hoses joined for a long garden: add a hose end connector to each and a double male joiner.
Looking after your accessories
- If a connector starts to drip, check the O-ring and the hose end. Cutting a few centimetres off a worn hose end and refitting the connector often fixes it.
- Bring connectors, guns and timers indoors before the first frost. Water left inside can freeze and crack them.
- Hozelock click fittings also work with most other click-system brands, but within one set-up it's simplest to keep to one brand.
