2. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to properly connect your Twinkle Star Brass Adjustable Twist Hose Nozzle to your garden hose.
- Inspect O-Rings: Ensure the nozzle has its O-ring seals in place at both the front and back connections to prevent leaks. Replacement O-rings are often included with the product.

3. Operating Instructions
The Twinkle Star nozzle offers adjustable spray patterns for various tasks. The primary adjustment is made by twisting the nozzle head.
- Adjusting Spray Pattern: To change the spray pattern, simply twist the nozzle head.
- Twist counter-clockwise for a wider, gentler spray or mist, suitable for watering delicate plants.
- Twist clockwise for a narrower, more powerful jet stream, ideal for cleaning tasks.
- On/Off Control: This model primarily controls water flow via the twist mechanism. Some variants may include an additional shut-off valve for immediate water control at the nozzle. If present, use the lever on the valve to turn the water flow on or off.

4. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your brass hose nozzle.
- Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the nozzle head to remove any mineral deposits or debris that may affect the spray pattern. Use a small brush or needle to clear the nozzle holes if necessary.
- Check O-Rings: Inspect the rubber O-rings at the hose connection and within the nozzle assembly for wear or damage. Replace them if they appear cracked, flattened, or worn to maintain a leak-free seal. Extra O-rings are often provided with the product.
- Winter Storage: In colder climates, disconnect the nozzle from the hose and store it indoors during winter months to prevent freezing and potential damage.
5. Troubleshooting
- Leaking at Connection:
- Ensure the nozzle is securely tightened to the hose.
- Check the O-ring at the hose connection. Replace if damaged or missing.
- Irregular Spray Pattern or Low Pressure:
- Inspect the nozzle tip for blockages from debris or mineral buildup. Clean the holes as described in the Maintenance section.
- Ensure the water supply is fully open and there are no kinks in the hose.
- Verify the nozzle head is twisted to the desired spray pattern (e.g., fully clockwise for maximum jet pressure).
