BRADAS Hose Connector - WHITE LINE with 2 caps GW 1"/34"

Product detailed description

This two-valve manifold is commonly used in garden irrigation, construction sites, and workshop environments where multiple hose connections are required. It enables installers to manage water flow to two separate hoses independently, making it ideal for applications such as simultaneous watering of different areas or for switching between tools and cleaning tasks. The manifold is suitable for integration into standard water supply systems and is designed for use with high-quality plastic hoses and fittings.

Its compact and lightweight design allows for easy installation and handling, while the use of high-quality plastic ensures durability and resistance to common environmental factors. The manifold is particularly useful in scenarios where space is limited but multiple hose connections are necessary, such as in sheds, garages, or at construction sites where temporary water supply setups are required.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

To install the manifold, first ensure that the water supply is turned off. Connect the manifold to the water source using the 1 inch or 3/4 inch HVZ fitting, depending on the system configuration. Attach the two hoses to the respective valve outlets, ensuring that the quick coupling connections are fully engaged. Verify that each valve operates independently and that there is no leakage at the connection points. A common mistake during installation is failing to secure the quick coupling connections properly, which can lead to water leakage and reduced system efficiency.

Compatibility and accessories

This manifold is compatible with standard garden and construction hoses that use HVZ quick coupling connections. To complete the setup, additional components such as garden hoses, nozzles, or irrigation fittings may be required. It is recommended to use hoses and fittings of similar quality and material to ensure long-term performance and system integrity. No specific alternative products are listed for this model.

Technical background for designers

The operating principle of the manifold is based on the use of two independent ball valves that control the flow of water to each hose. The high-quality plastic construction provides resistance to corrosion and wear, making it suitable for outdoor and semi-permanent installations. The integration of the manifold into a water supply system requires consideration of the system pressure and flow rate to ensure optimal performance. The service life of the product is influenced by the quality of the connections and the operating conditions, such as exposure to UV light and temperature fluctuations.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the quick coupling connections and valves is recommended to ensure continued performance. Check for signs of wear, leakage, or blockage, and replace any damaged components as needed. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data, but it is advisable to perform routine checks, especially after prolonged use or exposure to harsh conditions. The lightweight design facilitates easy access for inspection and maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

Can this manifold be used with high-pressure hoses?
It is not designed for high-pressure applications and should be used with standard water supply systems only.

Can the valves be replaced individually?
The valves are integrated into the manifold and are not designed for individual replacement.

Is this product suitable for permanent outdoor installation?
Yes, the high-quality plastic construction is suitable for outdoor use, but long-term exposure to UV light may affect the material over time.

Can the manifold be connected to a standard garden tap?
Yes, provided the tap has a 1 inch or 3/4 inch HVZ connection or can be adapted to one.
