The Hose Y With Valve is a convenient, dual-outlet connector that instantly transforms a single outdoor faucet into two separate water sources. Available in economical Plastic (HYV) or durable Brass (HYVBR), this essential accessory allows you to operate a drip irrigation system on one side while keeping the other outlet free for a hand-held garden hose.
Designed for everyday gardening tasks, these irrigation fittings feature independent shut-off levers, giving you complete control over water flow to each zone. Whether you are setting up automatic water timers or simply need to fill a watering can without disconnecting your main system, this splitter offers the flexibility you need at the spigot.

Ensure the rubber washer inside the female swivel inlet is in place. If worn or missing, replace it with a standard hose washer to prevent leaks.
Step 2: Connect to Faucet
Screw the top swivel connector onto your outdoor spigot. Hand-tighten only. Caution: Do not use wrenches on the Plastic model, as over-tightening can crack the body.
Step 3: Attach Hoses or Timers
Connect your garden hose, hose thread filter, or water timer to the male outlets. Adjust the levers to open or close flow to specific sides.
