Mechanical watering timer Gardena 01169-20

GARDENA Mechanical watering timer 01169-20 is a manual tap timer that enables timed irrigation without batteries or an external power source. The device attaches to a standard outdoor tap and provides a water outlet for a garden hose or a GARDENA sprinkler. A rotary dial lets you set an irrigation duration between 5 and 120 minutes, after which the timer mechanically stops the water flow. The permanent flow position allows uninterrupted water supply from the tap without removing the timer. The product is manufactured in Germany and designed for straightforward installation and operation.

Advantages

This mechanical watering timer requires no batteries or electrical connection, reducing maintenance. The simple rotary dial offers precise, stepless setting of watering duration from 5 to 120 minutes. Automatic shutoff prevents overwatering by stopping the water flow after the set time, while the permanent flow option allows continuous water use when needed. Compact construction and compatibility with standard garden hoses make it easy to integrate into existing irrigation setups.

Suitable for

• Garden beds and flower borders
• Small lawns and terraces
• Connecting to GARDENA sprinklers and hose-end irrigation
• Users who prefer a battery-free, mechanical solution

How to use

Screw the watering timer onto a compatible outdoor tap and connect a garden hose to the timer's outlet. Attach the hose to a sprinkler or other hose-end irrigation accessory as required.

Select the permanent flow position on the dial if you need continuous water supply without removing the device.

Recommendations

Check the tap and hose connections for leaks after installation and use the permanent flow mode only when continuous supply is required. Store the timer indoors during freezing temperatures to prevent frost damage.
