Installation Instructions

1. Prepare the Faucet: Ensure your garden faucet is either 26.5 mm (G 3/4") or 21 mm (G 1/2"). The splitter is compatible with both sizes.
2. Connect the Splitter to the Faucet: Align the nut of the splitter with the faucet outlet. Turn and tighten the nut securely by hand. No special tools are required for this step.
3. Connect Hoses: Attach your garden hoses or other watering devices to the two outlets of the splitter. Ensure a tight connection to prevent leaks.
4. Open Water Supply: Once all connections are secure, open the main water supply to the faucet.
5. Activate Outlets: Use the individual on-off valves on each outlet to control the water flow to your connected devices.

Operating Instructions

• Individual Water Control: The GRIFEMA GE1401-2 allows you to connect two watering devices or irrigation timers simultaneously. Each outlet features an independent valve.
• Adjusting Water Flow: Turn the orange levers on each outlet to regulate the water flow. You can fully open, partially open, or completely shut off the water to each connected device independently.
• Multi-task Irrigation: This splitter is ideal for managing multiple watering tasks at once, such as watering different garden areas, washing pets, cleaning cars, or operating machinery.

Maintenance

• Regular Cleaning: Periodically inspect the splitter for any dirt or debris accumulation, especially around the connections and valves. Clean with water and a soft brush if necessary.
• Winter Storage: In freezing conditions, disconnect the splitter from the faucet and hoses. Drain any remaining water and store it in a dry, frost-free location to prevent damage.
• Check Gaskets: Ensure the leak-proof gaskets are in good condition. Replace them if they appear worn or damaged to maintain a watertight seal.

Troubleshooting

• Leaks at Connection Points: If water leaks from the faucet or hose connections, ensure all connections are tightened securely. Check the rubber gaskets for proper seating and any signs of damage. Replace gaskets if necessary.
• Low Water Flow: Verify that the main water supply is fully open and that the individual valves on the splitter are completely open. Check hoses for kinks or blockages.
• Difficulty Turning Valves: If the valves are stiff, ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving parts if needed, but avoid petroleum-based lubricants.
