Will this valve connect directly to the hose faucet outdoors? Or do I need a special connector kit? I'm doing a full smart-phone op. system.

pipe thread and hose thread are different, you will need an adapter, which any hardware store will have

Same diameter as a hose thread, but it requires a fine thread. Hose thread to too course and won't fit.

No, you cannot connect the valve directly to hose faucet. The threads on the valve are not compatible with the threads on the faucet. There are PVC fittings available that you can use to fabricate an intermediate link that enable you to hook the valve to the end of a section of hose that is attached to a faucet, but it cannot be hooked direct.

No, You will need a fitting that is male pipe on one end and female hose thread on the other end. I would recommend a fitting with out a swivel.

Get a brass 3/4" mnpt to 3/4" male hose thread and it will work. About $1 at hardware store, they will have it as its a very common part.

This unit comes with everything you will need to connect to the plumbing under say a kitchen sink. It will connect to a standard sized cold water hose. It has an adapter piece. You disconnect your cold water sink hose from the cold water shut off, screw the adapter on the shut off then attach your sink hose to the adapter. There is a connection on adapter that feeds the ro system - this is a pex hose. To connect to a well, I would think you would have to install a tee and reduce the end going to RO. This unit IS NOT a whole house system -

One of the problems is their instructions are limited. It connects to a hot and a cold line. The plumber will need to use a CPVC plastic fitting to connect to the their supplied connector.

Only if you have a faucet in your house with a standard " Hose-Bib" connection. If you're unsure of what need look at the hose connection on the out side of your hose for watering your yard, that is the type of connection needed. One further comment, unless you are intending to use conditioned water (soft water) and need it could be attached to your outside faucet. In most metropolitan areas the outside faucets are tied to the same water your drink inside the house.

You shouldn't need anything else. It can be attached directly to the faucet. It comes with a 'Male Quick-Click connector' to connect the outlet to your hose.

Yes, this hose connects to the standard outdoor water faucet and spray nozzles.

Unless you get to the existing plumbing and valve from the back (wall on the other side of the tiles), you will have to take out a few tiles around the existing valve to remove it and attach connectors that will connect to the two lines of this unit. I was able to do that and then I left the hole open since it gets covered by this unit

Shamrock, you will need a Rain Bird FCKIT1PK - Faucet Connection Kit to connect the 1/2" tubing to the faucet. The other end is closed with a Rain Bird- EC50-1/2" -Closure Pack. I also included a battery operated Melnor 3100 2-Zone Aquatimer Sprinkler Control that connected to the Faucet Connection in order to water automatically using a 2 hose set up. The unit works well for me and I have been well pleased with it.

You will need a faucet adaptor with a pressure regulator and filter, like the Rain Bird FCKIT1PK - Faucet Connection Kit http://www.amazon.com/Rain-Bird-FCKIT1PK-Faucet-Connection/dp/B000FJYT1C/ref=sr_1_16?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1407034468&sr=1-16&keywords=drip+irrigation The emitters on this hose start near the end so you will probably need some plain black " hose and a slip connector as well.

We have ours hooked to a hose that runs from the outdoor water faucet to our garden since the garden is about 75' from the faucet. It would certainly hook up directly to the faucet as well.

Yes the connection is standard. BTW be sure to tighten all the hose clamps before installing. I didn't and several months later it started leaking like crazy. Not a big deal totake it down and tighten the clamps but better to not have to.

Yes. The connection at the rear fits with the regular connection hose system as you might use to connect a hose to your backyard faucet

I'm afraid I don't know Steven. I had to use an adapter in order to install the system on my faucet in the first place.

This one, LDR 500 2050, worked for me just fine connecting it to my bathroom faucet... however, be careful with the pocket hose... if you have full pressure from the faucet and close off the pocket hose, it might pop. It has never happened to me, but it would be a good idea to be cautious.

There was a brass connection suggested by Amazon when I placed the order. It worked fine and prevented hose leaking. I can't be anymore specific as the unit is currently at our vacation home.

It comes with an adapter to connect to an inside faucets and can connect to an outside hose faucet as well. You should not need any other adapters.

No, you will need one that is called a direct connect. It's the same, except that the hose doesn't have that pig tail you see in the picture.
