Garden Watering Hardware From One Factory
Ninety six models across fittings guns sprinklers reels wands timers and hose, built so every part in the range actually mates
Reels and Carts With Capacity You Can Check
Every reel and cart states its capacity against 1/2 inch or 13 mm hose, and every carton publishes size quantity CBM and weight
Private Label Watering Ranges Since 2005
Plain soft coated zinc and chrome plated versions of the same body, so a house brand can tier a wall without changing the fit
One Factory for the Whole Watering Wall
YIMAY makes the watering hardware that hangs on a garden aisle peg hook. Hose connectors and menders, tap adaptors, spray guns and nozzles, impulse and pattern sprinklers, hose reels and carts, telescopic water wands, mechanical water timers and PVC garden hose.
Who We Serve
Garden retail chains, DIY and hardware buyers, importers running their own house brands, and supermarket seasonal programmes that need a complete watering range from one factory instead of five.
The Problem We Solve
A watering range falls apart when the connectors leak, the packaging does not scan and the carton data is wrong at the port. We ship one coherent range where the 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch fittings mate, every model has a declared pack format, and every carton has a published size, quantity, CBM and net and gross weight.
Why Buyers Choose Us
Two decades on one product family. Soft coated, zinc, chrome plated and plain plastic variants of the same body, so a buyer can build a good better best wall from a single supplier. Recognised as a high-tech enterprise in 2021.
How to Start
Send us the shelf you are trying to fill. We map it against the 96 models in this catalogue and reply with the models, the pack formats and the carton data you need to price it.

What We Will and Will Not Claim
These four figures come from our own records. Where a figure is not confirmed, this site says so on the page rather than publishing an estimate.
Built for Buyers Not for End Users
Garden retail chains, DIY and hardware buyers, importers running their own house brands, and supermarket seasonal programmes that need a complete watering range from one factory instead of five.
Garden Centres and DIY Retail
A garden aisle has to work as one wall. The customer who picks up a spray gun walks three metres to the connectors and expects them to fit. We build t…

A house brand only works if the products underneath it are consistent. Our catalogue is deliberately built as variants of a small number of bodies, so…

Why Watering Ranges Fall Apart
- Connectors from one supplier that will not seat on tap adaptors from another
- Reel capacity claims with no hose size attached so they cannot be checked
- Approximate carton data that becomes a freight problem at the port
- Peg walls assembled from four card formats that never look like one range
- One clip geometry across the fitting spray gun and wand families
- Capacity always stated against 1/2 inch or 13 mm hose
- Carton size quantity CBM and net and gross weight published per model
- Five pack formats produced in house so one artwork system covers the range
How a Programme Actually Runs
Four routes through the catalogue, each written around a decision a buyer has to make rather than around what we would like to sell.

Most watering ranges are assembled by category buyer rather than by water path. The result is a wall where the parts do not connect. This is how we bu…
