If I am using these with automatic timers, do I attach it at the spigot going to the timer? Or, from the timer going to the hose?

If would say put it above the timer. The first priority is too prevent backflow into a well or household pipes and second to protect the spigot and pipes from being damaged by freezing water. Your timers and hoses are not to worry about. Besides good rubber hoses shrug off a freeze. I put three of these siphon-breakers on early this spring and they have done the job through three frosts. I should add that backflow into a well or a municipal water supply can get you in serious trouble. Looking at the answer below,I have to admit that my experience is not based on an automatic valve -- it is based a manual spigot. So I'd listen to DougO in your situation.

I installed mine from the timer to the hose. When the timer/valve goes shut, the remaining water in the hose will vent/drain thru the vacuum breaker.

I ordered the attachment to hook up to a water hose...However I just fill it with a Sprinkler can every other day...not a big problem.. I could hook it up sometime..but for now I am happy.

Yes, there is a piece inside the storage box that connects to the hose. There is also a small connection hose (about 2 feet long) that comes with the box/storage unit that connects to the spigot. The small connection hose is brown in color if that helps.

You put it on the end of the hose. Make sure you secure it tightly with the enclosed zip ties. Good luck.

Yes. My set-up is actually, spigot to timer to filter to 3/4" adapter/connector (that you've asked about) to 1/2" tubing. Hope this helps.

The way i made it fit is I got a heat gun (you can use a blow dryer) and heat the hose end up till it got very flexible. Don't burn it and force it in with force and twisting motion. This must be done before you connect it to the spigot.

I'm not sure but mine is attached directly to the water spigot at the side of my house. I think it is a great product and I have gone through a number of timers. For us old farts, it is nice to be able to read the numbers and setting it is simple. Cheryl L.

Hi Richard. Yes I only bought one of these hoses, but after the third use it came apart at the fitting that attaches to the water spigot. Was not impressed with it. When I have that kind of a failure soon after purchase I don't try it again. I won't purchase another. Hope this was helpful. Good luck.

It is an end piece...you attach it to a watering wand that has a shut off on the wand. Yes you can attach it right to you hose.

We use it with a Galcon 9001D Hose End Tap Timer with Programmable LCD Display, which is one of the rare irrigation timers that connects to a hose and can be programmed to come on for more than 4 hours. We set the timer to come on every night from 10pm to 6am, and it keeps raccoons out of the yard without spraying our cats during the day.

That should not happen unless the little water sprinkler icon is visible on the display OR if the batteries need to be replaced.. If that icon is visible it means that your timer is currently on and allowing water to flow. I had an issue with some cheap batteries not working well in the unit. I have to replace them with name brand batteries for it to actually shut the water off. hope that helps

Since this is a timer with built-in valve, anything it is hooked up to will be shut off when that is called for by the timer. Any other restriction will depend on what is attached to the outlet side of the valve. If you have another hose on the outlet side, it will flow just as well as if the timer were not there when it is open.

There is a short hose that you attach to the wall spigot and the other end goes to the box. Then you attach your hose to the box end and then wind your hose over the spindle inside the box. You use the handle on the right side to wind it up or to unwind it. The box is basically a storage box.

I only water my tomato garden with the soaker, so I cut it down to the size needed. I have a leader hose that leads up to it, so only the tomato bed gets watered. At the spigot I put a splitter. The soaking hose is attached to one "outlet" and to the other outlet is a regular hose I use for uses like filling up a watering can, etc. If I misunderstood your question, feel free to ask again.

A black hose on at the outside it connects to your water source... Probably the Spicket on your house.The inside one connects to your hose. You connect it and then wrap it around by using the circle motion. The end of the hose will hang outside when it is wrapped up I hope this helps!

This timer is designed to be used with standard yard hoses. It has 2 threaded female outputs, that you can use with a regular garden hose.You would have to fabricate your own reducer.

If I am not mistaken you have to attach your water hose. Unfortunately this product lasted so little we didn't have the time to try the sprinkler part
