Garden hose intake

The garden hose intake is an essential accessory for anyone wishing to optimize the irrigation of their garden or vegetable patch.
Designed to draw water directly from tanks, cisterns, or containers, the intake ensures a constant and clean flow thanks to the integrated filter, which retains impurities (medium-small).
The connection is compatible with common garden hoses, a simple pressure/snap connection.

Perfect for domestic irrigation systems, electric or manual pumps, and transfer systems, the intake represents a practical and efficient solution for those seeking reliability and convenience in daily irrigation.

Dimensions:

Upper part - diameter 15 mm, height 46 mm.

Lower part - diameter 45 mm, height 41 mm.

Square holes - side 2 mm.

! I personally printed the piece in PLA because I didn't need high performance; if greater durability and resistance are desired, one should opt for other materials more suitable for this kind of use. !

[Tip] To ensure a secure and leak-free connection between the garden hose and the intake, it is important to firmly secure the hose to the connector.
You can use:

• a metal hose clamp (screw-type or with a wing nut), ideal for a stable and durable tightening, especially in the presence of pressure;
• a plastic clamp (electrician's tie), suitable for quick and temporary fastening, useful when water pressure is low or for temporary connections.

For a fixed irrigation system or for use with pumps, a metal clamp is recommended, as it offers a stronger and more durable seal over time.
