Assembly
1. Prepare the hoses. Unroll the black soaker hose and green garden hose and lay them in the sun to increase exibility.
2. Attach the quick-connect with coupler to the garden hose. Unscrew the threaded cap from the rounded end of the quick-
connect with coupler and slide the cap over one end of the hose. Push the end of the hose rmly into the exposed end of the
adapter until it stops. Slide the cap over the threads of the adapter and twist it rmly into place. Push the faucet adapter into the
quick-connect.
3. Attach the garden hose to the faucet closest to your garden. To operate the quick-connect feature, slide the barrel toward the
hose in the direction of the arrows, and pull away from the faucet.
4. Lay out the black soaker hose in the area to be watered. Customize your layout by alternating sections of garden and soaker
hoses. Use soaker hose to deliver water only where you want it. Cut to the desired lengths and connect with couplers (see next step).
5. Connect the green garden hose to the black soaker hose with a coupler. Unscrew the threaded cap from one end of the coupler
and slip it over the end of the green hose. Push the end of the hose rmly into the exposed end of the coupler until it stops. Slide the
threaded cap over the coupler threads and twist it rmly into place. Repeat the process to attach the black soaker hose to the other
side of the coupler.
6. Attach the end cap to the black soaker hose. Attach the end cap to the open end of the soaker hose, following the procedure in
step 2. To drain the hose, unscrew the at end of the end cap.
Tips for Use
• Alternate sections of garden hose and soaker hose to customize the Snip-n-Drip for your garden. Use couplers to insert sections of
garden hose to cross paths and other areas you don’t want to irrigate.
• Add extra lengths of garden hose, if needed, between the faucet and garden.
• You may use the faucet connector on a standard garden hose if you need a longer length of hose to get to the area where you want
the soaker hose to begin. Systems with low water pressure may experience reduced output over long distances.
