## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the fittings british threads or are the ght? do you sell an adaptor for the ght to make it compatable with the british thread?**
A: The outlets are standard BSP British threads. Hozelock (and other British make) fittings screw straight on. Funny really, you would expect them to be Garden Hose thread, but they don't seem to be. I must have a closer look!

**Q: Can I use a hose connector to supply water as my external tap has been replaced by a direct connection to a hozelock 4 way tap connector, with timers.**
A: Hello,

Many thanks for your query.

The unit has a 3/4” female inlet BSP thread, which is the standard outdoor tap in the U.K.  If your outlet has a quick connect (most common in Hozelock), you may need to get an adapter.  This said, with this unit and the options it provides you, you would not need a four way outlet.  Of course, without knowing the full intended application.  If you would like, please send us a photo and we will be happy to provide you possible options and advice. 

Kind Regards
The IrrigationHubTeam

**Q: Can this be rigged up to a water butt?**
A: Hi Nick, Thank you for your question. The minimum operating pressure is 1.72bar (25 PSI) to open the valves which is unlikely to be achieved from a water butt, although we have had some customers in the past who have hit that pressure from their water butt. However it is designed and tested to work from a garden tap. Regards, The irrigationhub team.

**Q: Is the 94143 compatible with Hozelock fittings i.e can you fit the Hozelock pressure reducer to the output side of the valve.**
A: Thank you for your question. Yes a Hozelock pressure reducer can be installed on one of the outlets. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance. Regards, The irrigationhub team.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Water on tap!
*by M***S on 7 July 2015*

This bit of kit just plugs in and works. Even the bracing bar works better than I thought it would. Great design, although the programming is a bit naff.It works though but could be more flexible and intuitive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good System, Astonishingly High Price!
*by B***A on 1 August 2019*

I bought this package back in November 2015 and it's now well into its fourth year of operation. No problems encountered - highly reliable. However, it only cost me £69 back then, not the £129 currently charged!! Also, I bought two additional valves at about £10.50 each - they are now nearly £33 each!! So I couldn't recommend this system at the vastly inflated prices of today. Only down side is that the thread that attaches to your outside tap is of poor quality metal that totally rusted on and would require a lot of work to release. The grip feature around the screw thread to attach to the tap is totally useless and merely slips round. Recommend thinking carefully about rust prevention for this particular feature. Also, as long as you remove valves and control unit before any frosts then it should last for many years. Control unit is totally waterproof (or at least mine is). You can leave the manifold attached over winter as long as you drain it of water and leave the taps open. I live in SE England, so winters are relatively mild, but it has survived a few nights of seriously low temperatures and heavy frosts over the four years without a problem (as long as you do the above!)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Watering problems solved - hame it's been so wet!!
*by D***H on 30 June 2016*

easy to set-up, instructions are okay but do need to be read. this has worked brilliantly, when it hasn't rained so not been used often yet.one thing to remember you can adust the flow through each controller if your using sprinklers rather than drip feeders or soaker hoses.brilliant kit.
