The Flo 89252 tap adaptor is a high-quality, durable fitting engineered to facilitate the connection between standard garden hoses and outdoor water taps. Constructed from robust ABS plastic, this component is designed to withstand regular outdoor use while maintaining a secure and reliable connection for your irrigation needs. Its dual-thread design allows for versatile compatibility with both 1-inch and 3/4-inch female connections, making it a practical solution for various residential plumbing setups.
Advantages
The primary benefit of this adaptor is its versatility, as it accommodates two common tap sizes in a single unit, eliminating the need for multiple separate fittings. The use of high-grade ABS plastic ensures that the product is resistant to corrosion and minor physical impacts, which is essential for tools exposed to the elements. Furthermore, the design focuses on providing a tight, leak-proof seal, which helps in maintaining consistent water pressure and preventing unnecessary water waste during garden irrigation or cleaning tasks.
Suitable for
- Connecting garden hoses to outdoor faucets
- Residential garden irrigation systems
- General outdoor cleaning and watering tasks
- Adapting 1-inch or 3/4-inch threaded water sources
When it may not be suitable
This adaptor is not intended for use with high-pressure industrial water systems or hot water lines, as the ABS plastic construction is optimized for standard cold-water garden applications. It is also not compatible with non-threaded faucets or specialized quick-connect systems that require specific proprietary fittings.

How to use
To install the Flo 89252 tap adaptor, ensure your water source is turned off. Align the appropriate thread size of the adaptor with your outdoor faucet. Screw the adaptor onto the tap in a clockwise direction until it is hand-tight. Once secured, attach your garden hose to the outlet end of the adaptor. Slowly turn on the water supply to check for any leaks and ensure the connection is firm before proceeding with your watering tasks.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify the thread size of your existing outdoor faucet
- Ensure the faucet has a standard male thread
- Check if your hose connection is compatible with the outlet side of the adaptor
Usage recommendations
For optimal longevity, remove the adaptor from the tap during freezing winter temperatures to prevent potential cracking of the plastic material. Always ensure the threads are clean and free of debris before installation to maintain a proper seal.
