Taps and Faucets – Known as faucets in much of the word, including in America and Canada, Taps is the name given in the UK! Garden hose taps in England refer to the fitting which supplies water to sinks, baths and wash basins. Taps are often also outside, known as outside taps and gardens taps – generally only in place for the use of hose.

Popular sizes of hose connector include ½”, ¾” and 1”. Both male and female connectors are available.

Water distributors – water distributors are used when people need to split their water supply to enable them to direct water to different areas and zones within their gardens. Water distributors aloe people to split their water supply through multiple hoses without losing pressure. Water distributors can now only allow for water to be split in two ways either – some distributors allow gardeners to distribute their water supply by up to six separate ways.
