Water Hose Fitting Gardena 1197-20

The GARDENA Water Distributor (compatible with Water Computer MasterControl or MasterControl solar) enables sequential automatic irrigation of up to six separate garden areas. Connected to a Water Computer, the distributor opens individual water outlets one after another according to the programmed schedule, allowing different irrigation methods—sprinklers, drip lines or watering devices—to operate in sequence. The distributor can be set to supply from two up to six outlets by deactivating unused outlets with the setting lever. It has G 3/4 (26.5 mm) male threads and is supplied with five Tap Connectors and three end caps. The unit can be mounted on a wall or placed on the ground plate and removed when needed; all outlets are oriented in the same direction to save space.

Advantages

The Water Distributor provides automated, sequential watering to avoid overloading limited water supply and to match different plants’ water needs by using the Water Computer’s individual program durations. It is space-efficient due to aligned outlets, flexible in use with adjustable number of active outlets, and easy to install or remove from its ground plate. The included Tap Connectors and end caps simplify connection to existing garden hoses and fittings.

Suitable for

• Lawns with sprinkler systems
• Flower beds and borders with drip irrigation
• Potted plants and balcony boxes

• Gardens with limited water pressure or supply

Key specifications

• Included accessories: 5 Tap Connectors (Art. No. 901) and 3 end caps

How to use

Mount the Water Distributor on a wall or place it on the ground plate and secure it. Connect the distributor’s G 3/4 thread to the Water Computer supply and attach the Tap Connectors and hoses to the required outlets. Use the Water Computer to program the watering sequence and set individual watering durations for each outlet. Deactivate any unused outlets with the setting lever to reduce the active number of zones. The device will then open the outlets one after another according to the controller program.

Usage recommendations

Use the GARDENA Water Distributor when sequential watering is needed or when water supply cannot feed all irrigation accessories simultaneously. Program individual durations for each zone on the Water Computer to match plant water needs and avoid simultaneous operation of multiple heavy-demand devices.
