How can I add brass hose connectors to this sprinkler? This one has a male connector that cannot be removed. Other Gardena sprinklers are different.

A male connector is attached to the sprinkler and is used to attach another hose and sprinkler in tandem but the other side with the quick disconnect is set up for any type of male fitting and that is where the supply line is.

You simply splice in some sprinkler wire to add the length/distance you need. Use waterproof wire nuts for sprinkler systems. You may put the splice in a waterproof electrical box if you like. Or in my case,.......I mounted this near a valve box and tied into the existing valve wire to hook up in the sprinkler controller. (Had two extra wires on the existing valve wires to tie into.)Hope this helps.

Richard: Yes, the knob on the front top is the overflow drain. It would be possible to hook up a garden hose to it if you have the right diameter fitting to muscle it in from the outside and w/o actually blocking it. It may be possible to get a male fitting from the inside (through the top rectangular vent) but I suspect it would be hard because of the small area to work with within the knob cavity itself. I have mine hooked up to the gutter with the Oatey 14209 Mystic Rainwater Collection System. I actually punched a hole on the top of the barrel with a paddle drill bit to get a perfect fitting with the hose. Good luck. Richard: Yes, the knob on the front top is the overflow drain.

yes just get a spike base with a in and out hose connection, these sprinklers work great

I can't tell you specifically as the unit I received had a solid stream of water that shot out of the rear of the flow control knob. After trying to contact Gardena to find out if I could repair it or if this was normal operation, I got no response so I sent the unit back. Beware....for the price of these sprinklers one would hope that Gardena could offer better support. There are these type of adjustable sprinklers available that work great...check around.

You don't need the Gardena 36004 Quick Connectors to connect two garden hoses, just screw them together. The Quick Connectors attach to the faucet and the female end of the garden hose to quickly connect or disconnect the hose.

Not a good idea, if there was an attachment. There is a rubber attachment for a garden hose (several sizes) that uses water pressure. It has worked for me. Try a good hardware store.

It's actually quite easy, assuming you buy the correct fitting. I.E. male / female. You simply cut the end of the existing hose fitting, slip the collar onto the hose, and screw the collar onto the end of the fitting which you put into the hose end. This provides a quick disconnect fitting which I have never found to leak, and I have many on my yard sprinkler distribution system. It greatly improves the ability to take down the system in the cold Northeastern winters, and saves on hose replacement.

yes you can attach a garden hose to this faucet, faucet comes with a 5/8" male hose end on the end of the spout.

The male part (one above the bottom) seems to have male threads also, that is it can be made up to female threaded end of hose (normal faucets usually have male threads). The orange side of bottom part is female end where the male end of top part goes into (not threaded, but a matching profile to accept the male end of that top part) . Bottom end of this bottom piece has also a female threaded connection where it can be made up to a faucet (with male threads) or male-threaded end of garden hose.Hope this helps you.

Yes, it can be connected to a sprinkler. Keep in mind that when the water flow is opened fully the hose will retract a little depending on the water supply. However, it will settle at a point where the pressure and the length of the hose are all balanced.

Yes, it attaches to the hose or, if you have a regular sprayer, you can attach it to that. It is the best mister on the market - we have them on all our hoses and the plants love the gentle spray! By the way, we normally go through about 3 sprayers each summer and my last one of these lasted for years!

Yes, you can connect the two together, but you might need to obtain an additional brass fitting depending what type of hose you have. Can be found at any good hardware store. Be sure to use GAS rated Teflon tape (yellow), not water pipe (white).

The connections are all standard garden house connections. You can find adaptors for that in any hardware store that can then go to any size PVC pipe you want. I split mine to two different areas of my garden (trees on one leg and veggies on other) so I could run two different watering times. This is incredibly easy to use and battery life was better than any other unit I've had.

I have no idea but since it is made from Brass i would think it would be ok. No lead in Brass. I would assume any garden hose connection would be for potable water.

Claber connectors last forever and work exceptionally well. I probably own 20 or more of these connectors. Make sure you match the connector size with the hose size. It is okay to use a bigger connector size than hose size but do not go the other way. Hose menders work well also. I use the complete system, sprinklers, sprays and connectors. When I locate these in the hardware store I buy all on the shelf. I could be a spokesman for Claber, that is how sold I am on this product.

I had the same issue, as I was watering a vegetable garden that wasn't close to my spigot. I used a regular 25' hose and then added the soaker hose to that.
