3. Setup and Installation

The Bradas WL-2199 Faucet Connector is designed for easy, tool-free installation.

1. Identify Faucet Thread Size: Determine if your water faucet has a 26.5 mm (G 3/4 inch) or 33.3 mm (G 1 inch) thread. The connector is supplied with a 3/4 inch internal thread and a 1/2 inch reducer.
2. Prepare the Connector:
   • For 3/4 inch faucets: Ensure the 1/2 inch reducer is removed from the connector.
   • For 1/2 inch faucets: Ensure the 1/2 inch reducer is securely inserted into the 3/4 inch internal thread of the connector.
3. Attach to Faucet: Screw the faucet connector onto your water faucet by hand. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the threads or the connector.
4. Connect Hose: The other end of the faucet connector features a standard DN 15 (1/2 inch) plug-in system. This allows for quick connection to any garden hose equipped with a compatible quick-connect coupling. Simply push the hose coupling onto the faucet connector until it clicks into place.

Ensure all connections are snug to prevent leaks.

4. Operating Instructions

Using the Bradas WL-2199 Faucet Connector is straightforward once installed:

• Connecting a Hose: Align your hose's quick-connect coupling with the faucet connector and push it firmly until it locks. You should hear a click.
• Disconnecting a Hose: Pull back the collar on your hose's quick-connect coupling and pull the hose away from the faucet connector.
• Water Flow: Once the hose is connected, you can turn on your faucet to begin water flow.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Bradas WL-2199 Faucet Connector, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the connector with water to remove any dirt or mineral deposits. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the threads and the quick-connect mechanism for any signs of wear or damage. Check the rubber seals for cracks or hardening.
• Winter Storage: In freezing conditions, disconnect the faucet connector from the faucet and store it indoors to prevent damage from ice expansion.
