Gardena Pipeline Water Connector

Can replace the connector to fix 1/2 inch pipe. A neat and tidy choice for a garden watering system.

This product is brilliant for buried pipes. The quality is excellent. These look very smart buried in the garden. Be aware that the connectors are 3/4 and not typical 1/2 but can be easily swapped with a 3/4 hose end connector

Honestly, this is making my garden so much nicer and providing great functionality. Really easy to use and set up, but as you go down this route of enlightenment and tranquillity in the garden, it becomes quite expensive. But no regrets. I will continue to grow my system in due course

Have nothing to compare it with, pops up as it should, a lot of digging required to about a foot deep. I am happy with it although I'd say the spread will depend on your water pressure and I wouldn't personally put the frost valve in again as it dumps all the water in the pipes out every time, so if you have a long pipe that's a lot of water, really how likely is it going to be affected by frost in the uk buried a foot deep, I not convinced its necessary. Also the automatic connectors for me are not fool proof, you need the pipe to be perfectly straight going into the connector or it will leak.Overall Id say if installed correctly and tested before being covered over you'll be happy with this. Id like to experience a different set up so I could compare.

I have a rainwater harvesting tank below ground complete with a pump and a supply pipe routed below ground and with these Gardena connectors at strategic points around the garden it saves a long trailing hose. it is brilliant

Coverage from the sprinkler is not very good

The drain valve does not work as it needs a lot of pressure to keep it shut. The pipe is much bigger than a usual U.K. pipe, that being said you do get all the fittings needed, but with a much bigger pipe you simple don’t have the required water pressure. The sprinkler does just that, it sprinklers a few feet as the drain valve simply won’t stay shut. I spoke to Gardena support and they said I needed to buy a pump. Have opted for a U.K. brand with standard U.K. size hose and it’s working a treat. I don’t have low water pressure but this system is simply not designed for U.K. water pressure. You can’t fit smaller hose as the fittings won’t allow this. Great product and I love it if only it worked for me. I love Gardena products normally as they are high quality and do the job, sadly this one let me down.

All good
