Heavy Duty Brass Shut Off Valve Garden Hose Shut Off Valve Garden Hose Connector (2PCS) +4 Extra Pressure Washers

These are great garden shutoff valves. Some may complain that the shutoff levers are too short. But this is a minor issue, considering the great price. I've got them spread all over my 3 acre area of our property and love using them. My suggestion has to do with you hose hookups at the main spigot, and at any connections. First, if you have a lot of hoses that you are constantly unscrewing and transferring to other locations, I would purchase quick disconnects to for ANY screw-in connections to make your life easier. Also, purchase some Permatex 80078 Anti-Seize Lubricant with Brush Top Bottle, 8 oz. This is because after a few months at least where we live) the screw-in connections will "glue" themselves together, making it impossible to unscrew without a big pipe wrench. I think that this is due to galvanization of the pieces at the connection point threads, and it is almost akin to rusting. I had a heck of a time prior to doing this as there are times when I change how I want to position hoses and connectors. Anyway, the anti-sieze will prevent the "glueing" effect, and allow you to easily and safely unscrew your connector threads many months later.

Work great, nice to have a shut off at the end of the hose!

Nice quality, works well. Just a couple issues: 1. The opening for water to go through is pretty small compared to the inside of a hose. Maybe only 1/4". So may cause some flow restriction. 2. The valve is too close to the male threaded end, so screwing on my particular hose nozzle would stop before fully sealing because the nozzle contacted the valve.

I have one of these on the end of every hose I own. Being able to change nozzles without having to turn the water to the hose off is fantastic. These are all metal and should last for a very long time. I previously had some with plastic levers and those would sometimes break so I appreciate the lack of plastic.

I recently purchased the Heavy Duty Brass Shut Off Valve and I must say that I am extremely impressed with its performance. The valve is made of 100% solid brass materials, which makes it rustproof, sturdy and long-lasting. It is much more durable than other garden hose connectors I have used in the past. One of the best things about this product is that it doesn’t leak. The connectors and fittings are precisely processed and fitted with O-ring seals at the back and front to prevent any leaks. What’s more, you don’t need pliers to install it! You can hand tighten it and then use it right away. The package includes 2pcs brass garden hose shut off valve and 4pcs pressure washers. The garden hose connector size thread standards are 3/4" GHT thread easy to turn on and off. Lastly, I would like to remind you that the shut off valves contain Pb. In fact, all brass contains Pb more or less. If you mind Pb, please buy other material. However, we provide a 3-year guarantee for this product. If you have any slightest problem with these products, we will 100% refund you or replace a new set for you.

I use these as hose ends then screw on the the sprayer. Keeps you from returning to the main faucet to change sprayers.

Perfect size for outdoor faucet

I purchased these valves hoping for a reliable way to control water flow between hose attachments, and while they do mostly get the job done, there are a few issues that hold them back from being great. On the plus side, the brass construction feels solid and durable, and the valves do a decent job of stopping water flow when turned off. The extra pressure washers were a nice bonus, and I appreciated that the connectors fit snugly onto standard hoses without leaks most of the time. However, the valve handles are quite stiff and hard to turn, especially when water is running through at higher pressure. Over time, this gets annoying — especially if you're switching attachments frequently. I was also expecting a bit more quality control between the two pieces, as one worked better than the other out of the box. Overall, they’re functional and far better than cheap plastic alternatives, but for something marketed as “heavy-duty,” I was hoping for smoother operation and more consistency. A solid middle-of-the-road product — not bad, but not perfect either.
