RAINPOINT 1008 – Installation & Use

This article explains how to connect and operate the RAINPOINT 1008 10-Pattern Hose Nozzle.

Installation Instructions

Step 1: Check the Hose Connection

Before installation:

• Make sure the garden hose connector is clean.
• Check that the built-in rubber washer is correctly positioned.
• Confirm that the hose uses a compatible 3/4" connection.

Step 2: Connect the Nozzle

Screw the garden hose onto the threaded inlet of the 1008.

Tighten the connection securely by hand.

The manual describes this as a simple screw-on connection between the hose and nozzle.

Step 3: Check for Leakage

Turn on the water and inspect the connection between the garden hose and nozzle.

If the connection leaks:

1. Turn off the water.
2. Disconnect the garden hose.
3. Add a rubber washer.
4. Reconnect the garden hose.
5. Tighten the connection securely.
6. Turn the water back on and check again.

The manual specifically recommends adding a rubber washer when leakage occurs at the connection.

Step 4: Select a Spray Pattern

Rotate the spray head to choose one of the 10 available spray modes:

• FULL
• VERTICAL
• SHOWER
• STREAM
• FLAT
• MIST
• JET
• CENTER
• ANGLE
• CONE

Rotate the spray head until the desired pattern is selected.

Step 5: Adjust the Water Flow

Use the flow-control adjustment on the nozzle to regulate the amount of water.

The adjustment range is: OFF → Maximum

Turn toward OFF to reduce or stop the water flow.

Turn toward Maximum to increase the water flow.

Before Regular Use

• The hose is securely connected.
