The valves for each hose are very hard to turn on or off. And they do not turn off completely and let a small amount of water flow into the hose which is turned off. Next, the nuts on the hose valve levers fall off and get lost.
Only bought this recently, but so far it is working great. Sprinklers are working better now that I am using this high-flow Y, even though I haven’t yet changed to the wider (3/4) hoses.
Received the small garden bed kit last week and it was easy to set up and working well.
Handles were a little tough to turn initially . . . but then . . . I was wowed. Truly high flow, sturdy, no leaks, easy to control. And, as always, great service DripWorks. Thank you!
This splitter is brass and works well. My hoses don’t leak.
Seems like the Y valves from the big box stores and national hardware stores just do not hold up long. This one is compact and solid and should last longer than the others.
This is heavy duty. I'm tired of buying and throwing away brass Y shut off valves for my hoses. This thing is not like the ones you get in the store. This one will last. Thanx, Dripworks. This was exactly what I was looking for.
The valve works very well, I bought it for its unrestricted high flow ball valve
I finally found a valved Y with true 1/2" ID ball valves. No pressure drop. Love them. Their full-flow Y with no valves, which I also purchased, is also the best flowing one I have used or tested.
Valve is not full flow, being constricted by the smaller diameter hole in the ball valve that controls flow. Also, the valve ball retaining ring unscrewed when I attempted to remove a hose from the wye assembly. Later, the nut holding the valve handle onto the valve shaft unscrewed. It has neither lock-washer or a thread lock substance to keep it in place. Overall, this is an attractive concept whose weaknesses are in the execution of a moderately good design.
Run two drip systems (with or without timers) from one faucet or leave one outlet available for a garden hose.
The new high flow brass hose Y offers more than double the flow of a standard brass hose Y. It will split an existing faucet into two outlets that can be either used at the same time or individually. The metal shut off handles are much more durable than the plastic handles commonly found on hose Y fittings. The longer body style and the easy grip swivel hose connection make installation much easier.
