Hose Adapters
Hose Adapters keep your caravan or motorhome water supply flexible and leak-resistant. Match diameters, threads and materials to connect tanks, pumps, filters and taps with confidence. With the right water hose adapters—from quick-connects to reducers and swivels—you speed up setup, simplify upgrades and prevent leaks at every pitch.

Hose Adapters
With the right hose adapters you can connect fresh water tanks, pumps, filters and taps quickly and securely. Matching diameters and thread types prevents leaks, protects flow and makes maintenance easier throughout the season.
Caravan And Motorhome Hose Adapters Basics
Confirm inner and outer diameters and check thread standards across all components before you buy. Use food-grade materials for drinking water and temperature-resistant options near heaters. Keep adapters to the minimum needed to reduce restriction and potential leak points.
Understanding Diameters In Hose Adapters
Fresh water lines commonly use 10–12 mm ID hose, while some appliances need larger sizes. If you must step up or down, choose smooth-bore reducers sized to your layout to maintain steady pressure.
Identifying Threads For Water Hose Adapters
Many accessories use BSP threads. Confirm male or female orientation and seal with suitable gaskets or PTFE tape as recommended by the manufacturer.
Quick-Connect Hose Adapters For Faster Setups
Quick-connect couplers speed up filling and draining at service points and make winterising simpler. Colour-coded sets help you trace hot and cold lines at a glance during troubleshooting.
Swivel And Angled Hose Adapters
Swivel connectors reduce stress at taps and pumps, while 90° and 45° elbows prevent kinks in tight lockers and under benches, preserving flow and component life.
Non-Return And Shut-Off Hose Adapters
Inline check valves prevent backflow from elevated tanks. Add compact shut-off valves before appliances so you can service a single line without draining the entire system.
Push-Fit Hose Adapters And Connectors
Push-fit systems simplify installation and future upgrades. Use straight couplers, tees and elbows to keep runs tidy, then add reducers only where needed. Ensure full pipe insertion depth for a secure, leak-tight seal.
Transition Hose Adapters Between Materials
When mixing flexible hose and semi-rigid pipe, use dedicated transition fittings that match both OD and ID. Secure flexible sections with quality clamps to prevent chafe on rough roads.
Sealing Tips For Water Hose Adapters
Clean threads and mating faces, avoid overtightening and pressure-test after changes. Replace worn O-rings and keep spare gaskets, clamps and a universal adapter for quick fixes.
Frost Protection With Hose Adapters
Low-point drain adapters make winterising straightforward and reduce the risk of burst lines. Pair them with frost valves where temperatures can fall below freezing.
Maintenance Checks For Hose Adapters
Inspect adapters each trip for abrasion and micro-leaks. Re-seat push-fit connections if disturbed and refresh PTFE tape during seasonal service.
Waste Water Hose Adapters And Routing
Grey-water adapters should match hose diameter for smooth flow. Use angled connectors to maintain a gentle fall to the tank or drain and add caps to keep odours in check when travelling.
Choosing Materials For Waste Hose Adapters
Select robust, temperature-resistant plastics or corrosion-resistant metals. Rinse lines regularly to prevent residue build-up and odours.
Upgrading And Expanding Your Hose Adapters Kit
An organiser with common reducers, elbows, tees and quick-connects saves time on the pitch. Label sizes to speed up repairs and keep duplicates of frequently used parts.
