October 21, 2013

Expand the reach of your outdoor tap with a simple piece of hardware: an adapter that instantly multiplies the number of hoses you can connect.

We’ve rounded up a variety of tough weatherproof brass adapters that will allow you to connect two or four hoses to one tap simultaneously. Our selections offer individual shut-off valves for precise control of water flow.
