Hozelock 2150A0000 4-Way Tap Connector, Grey, Orange, Red, 15.0 cm*40.0 cm*25.0 cm
How to measure your garden tap?
There are multiple garden tap sizes and Hozelock offers a tap connector for every size, but which is the right one for your tap? Measuring your tap and buying the correct tap adapter can be confusing, as the measurement used is sized according to the standard British Standard Pipe, also known as BSP. This measurement refers to the size of the internal diameter of the pipe. So when you measure the outside diameter of your tap’s thread this doesn’t correspond to the BSP – refer to our handy conversion guide to ensure you purchase the correct connector.

After having bought a very leaky 1.
This make and model is far better easy to fit and even with bad hands easy to turn on and off and no leaks
Had one of these but after the recent freezing weather it started leaking so purchased another. Works well with no leakages.
I will mention though that whilst the image shows the connector on the left, mine was on the right. Not an issue for me but might be for someone else dependant on their configuratio
I needed to replace an identical one as my original was very old. I purchased this several weeks ago and have found it works as well as the one it replaced. The price was very competitive, so I was apprehensive as to whether it would work as well. I am pleased to say I am pleased with this purchase
As usual, this Hozelock fitting is really nice quality and went on without any leaks or need for PTFE tape. Worth paying a bit more than the cheapest plastic ones but less than a brass one. I’d recommend it.
Had tried two different “high quality” brass units and they (1) leaked and (2) leaked and failed when tightened to tap. The branded Hozelock 4-way block fits perfectly and was about the same price. It’s about the same cost as the alternatives too. I bought the alts first because I thought this being plastic would feel “cheaper” but this wins out on quality and effectiveness.
This item will leak within the first 12 months if the 3 that I have had are anything to go by,
I have given up on Hozelock as they seem to be inferior products nowadays. Might as well buy the much cheaper imitation products and replace them cheaper when they fail – a throw away world unfortunately.
does what it supposed to but the whole thing pushes down on to a bracket that screws to the wall and every time you push a connecting pipe up on to the connectors it pushes it off the bracket and also a little annoying the taps turn on clockwise and off anticlockwise every tap valve i have ever used turns off clockwise so takes some getting used to.
If you need different flow rates from different devices connected to the outlets, precise adjustment is tricky. The knobs need quite a firm twist to move them, then they twist too far, so it usually takes quite a few goes before it accidentally stops in the right place.
In all other respects, it’s great. It does exactly what we neede, and at a very good price.
Please with this in general my only comment would be that it would have been better if the outlet spacing was wider for at least one of the end outlets the reason being that I wanted to fit an electronic water flow control unit and with it in place the adjacent outlet ceases to be usable (you can’t fit a connection to it with the control unit in place). The unit can be left outside of course but I like to remove it for the winter and this is easy to do.
This Hozelock 4-way tap connector fitted the bill perfectly. It was very easily to install and has worked flawlessly so far. It mounts to the wall with two fixing screws holding a plastic bracket in place. You then snap the manifold over the top of it and hook up your pipes. This arrangement allows you to disconnect the manifold and store it away over winter should you not wish to risk freeze-damage.
A good solid product from the market leader.
The back plate is mounted by means of two screws (not supplied). In my case, that meant drilling two holes into an external wall near the garden tap.
The tap splitter assembly slides onto the back plate. The inlet may be adjusted to either the far left or the far right of the splitter by swapping the relevant connector and the grey end cap if required.
The connectors are then screwed onto the desired tap points.
Next, connectors are attached to each end of the hose (not supplied) which will connect the garden tap to the splitter inlet. If buying this item at the same time as a new hose reel, the best option is to measure out and cut off a length of hose corresponding to that needed to connect the garden tap to the splitter input before setting up the hose reel. Otherwise, a length can be cut off an existing hose and the relevant connectors attached, or a separate short hose may be purchased.
Check that all four of the splitter taps are closed before opening the now connected garden tap.
Hoses, watering timers and other Hozelock-compatible items may be attached and the four splitter taps turned on and off as and when required.
The tap splitter may subsequently be removed for winter storage simply by disconnecting it from the garden tap and sliding the tap splitter assembly off of the back plate, a process which takes under a minute.
Pros:
We have very high water pressure (8 bar rising to 11 at night) and this has now lasted 2 days hours without blowing up, which is more than ordinary hosepipes manage here.
The larger gap between ports 2 and 3 is useful for timer devices.
Cons:
Both full-on and off have the tap in the vertical position so it’s not obvious which way to turn the tap to be on or off, particularly when doing this in twilight. I imagine I’ll learn but for the moment, I turn the one unused tap on and watch water pour onto my foot before turning on the tap I want.
It’s not exactly subtle or pretty as you can see from the picture, but that’s hosepipes for you.
Other:
Other reviewers have mentioned the wall-clip as a weakness. It’s worked alright for me so far. It stays put and the hoses don’t drag it down on one side. Maybe it’s just the way the hoses balance out or maybe it’s early days still.
It is good that the connector can be fed water from either side of the unit and that each tap can individually be turned on or off. No leaks so far either. Obviously you can’t really run all the taps at the same time due to pressure loss.
Downsides are that the bracket to mount it to the wall allow the connector unit to slip out quite easily. Also if you have an automated timer attached, unless you connect it to end connector you will end up covering the adjacent tap. The only way around this is to run a length of hose to the timer rather than connect it directly to the four way connector, which does add extra cost and connectors.
Other than those two issues I am really pleased that it has worked so well.
