How to connect garden hose to soaker hose?

Elbow connector male/female 12mm to connect garden hose with soaker hose

I would like to find an elbow connector, preferably metal, that can connect this 12mm male soaker hose to a 12mm female garden hose.

Hi @Michael1111,

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

Unfortunately, I am not aware of an elbow connector that could be used to directly connect your garden hose to a soaker hose.

You could connect a Holman 12mm Brass Sprinkler Adapter to the garden hose, then connect a Brasshards 20mm Brass Male / Female Threaded Elbow LF to the sprinkler adaptor. You could then attach a Holman 12 x 20/25mm Brass BSP Tap Adaptor to the male thread of the elbow and use a Holman 12mm Double Ended Hose Connector to connect the soaker hose to the other end.

Physically, it can be done, but it would require a few adaptors that would make the connection rather bulky.

Let me know what you think.
