- Inspect Gaskets: Ensure a rubber seal gasket is properly seated inside the nozzle's inlet connection. Three replacement gaskets are included with your purchase.
- Attach to Hose: Screw the nozzle onto the threaded end of your garden hose. Hand-tighten until secure. Avoid over-tightening, which can damage the threads or gasket.
- Check for Leaks: Turn on the water supply to the hose. Check for any leaks at the connection point. If leaks occur, tighten slightly or replace the rubber gasket.
