does it work with a 1/2 soaker hose?

I can't see why it wouldn't. I haven't hooked my soaker up to it, but all the other hoses I have used these connectors with work just fine.

I have used these on a soaker hose but I couldn't tell you what the size was. The connector I have leaks in this application but works fine connecting other items like hose to hose or hose to sprayer. I believe my leaks may be the soaker connector.

No reason why it shouldn't as long as the hose has standard threaded fittings.

John,The are just quick connect/disconnects devices and will work with any hose with standard hose threading! Bob

Yes, a soaker hose would just connect to the water line these just offer quick connect to same!

John, I don't know specifically about a soaker hose. But I think it would as long as the hose has standard hose threads on it.

The website states they will work with 5/8 and 1/2 hoses but the fitting size is the same. So if your 1/2 hose has a standard fitting then yes these will work. In other words if you can attach your 1/2 hose to a standard outside spigot then the Gardena line of products will work for you.

I bought a different pump unit with same volume. I tried normal soaker hoses and it took the pump forever to empty a100 gallon rain barrel. I purchased a large 1" diameter soaker hose and it works fine. If you go smaller diameter, yes the back pressure is there and the pump just can't overcome it.

The soaker hose is a flat hose and does not state a diameter. The hose fitting is a standard 5/8" fitting.

Do not believe it does. Mine is 2" hose so would likely need an adapter to neck it down.

I use 150 ft. of 1/2 inch. hose with my Nelson 1865 and it works perfectly.

It is two male hose fittings and two male 1/2" fittings. So two hoses will work, but you need a female female hose adapter

I have this and love it! Haven't used it with a soaker hose, but think it would be fine. I do use it with a spray nozzle, no problems.

No. I rigged something up to do exactly what you're asking and found that I didn't get even close to enough pressure/flow to my mini sprinkler or drippers. You really need the half inch and then use the barb coupling to come off that line to the 1/4. This will save you a lot of trouble.

yes, half a hose works just fine. I use a 4 foot hose and use it to just fill my watering can.

Yes. I used it for my humidifier in my basement. Not sure what the 1/2" measurement is, it seemed to be like a regular hose.

In my experience, the pump should work fine with a soaker hose or a drip feed watering system. I have had good luck using it with a watering wand, although the flow rate is not as great as one is used to using city water pressure.

Check with Gilmour. I can just say it has been the best soaker hose I have ever bought.

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.

It should work as it comes with a couple of adapters for connecting to the hose.

I have wondered the same thing... I'm sure the answer "yes" but make sure you measure it or take a piece with you to compare - to make sure when you order. Maybe ask the people at Garden Supply what the size of the soaker hose is. Sorry I'm not more exact.

They sit inside the end fitting of the hose, and all of the hoses have the same sized end fittings so that they will work with the typical standard residential water faucet that comes out of the exterior house wall. So a 1/2" hose has the same size end fitting as a 3/4" hose. So you should be able to use it with any size residential hose.

Not well. I hoped to use it with a soaker but was disappointed. I did use it with a normal hose to transfer water fromone barrel to another and it worked ok in that task.
