Hose connector with filter Cellfast Ideal 3/4" (model 52-255)

The Cellfast Ideal 3/4" hose connector with integrated filter (model 52-255) is a plastic coupling designed to join 3/4-inch garden hoses and irrigation fittings while preventing debris from entering sprinklers, drippers and valves. The connector incorporates a fine mesh filter that traps sediment and particulates, reducing the risk of clogging in small-scale irrigation installations. Its compact, lightweight design suits domestic garden watering systems and simple retrofit connections to existing hoses and equipment.

Advantages

The integrated mesh filter captures leaves, sand and other particles before they reach irrigation emitters, helping to maintain consistent water flow and reducing maintenance frequency. The plastic construction resists corrosion and exposure to outdoor conditions, while the standardized 3/4" size ensures compatibility with common garden hoses and fittings. Installation and cleaning are straightforward, allowing rapid inspection and removal of trapped debris without specialised tools.

Suitable for

• Domestic garden watering and lawn irrigation
• Small-scale drip and micro-sprinkler systems
• Connecting hoses to sprinklers, valves and taps
• Retrofit of existing garden hoses to add basic filtration

Key specifications

• Connector size: compatible with 3/4-inch hose fittings
• Material: durable plastic body and components
• Filter type: removable fine mesh filter for sediment and particulate capture
• Application: designed for low-pressure domestic irrigation and garden use
• Weight and dimensions: compact, lightweight design for easy handling

How to use

Attach the connector to the 3/4-inch hose or fitting by pushing or threading it onto the mating part according to the hose system in use. Ensure a secure seal to avoid leaks. Periodically disconnect the connector and remove the mesh filter for inspection and cleaning; rinse the filter under running water to remove trapped debris and reassemble. Follow normal winterisation procedures for garden irrigation components to prevent frost damage if used in cold climates.

Usage recommendations

Check the filter regularly when using water with visible sediment or after heavy rainfall; cleaning frequency depends on water quality and system usage. Avoid using the connector with hot water or in high-pressure industrial applications beyond typical garden irrigation parameters.
