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

High quality and comes with extra washers.

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 chose brass because the plastic ones seem to break every season. These appear sturdy, and function very well, but I gave them 4 stars because they are difficult to use due to 1.) Small size and 2.) stiff lever. I do not expect them to wear-in or ease up in function. Perhaps with their durability comes the difficulty in use. (Be aware that I am old and my hand strength is diminished.) I do recommend them, just be aware that they are small and stiff. The nice bonus is that they come already loaded with washers and give you extra ones in the package. You can use them at the spigot source or at the end where you would attach a nozzle. You can also use them to control the water flow if you need a gentler spray.

Bought these to add a shut off upstream of my hose disconnects on the end of my expandable hose. Pressure in the hose was preventing release without purging all the water out, very annoying. Great price, local hardware store sells these for 10-15 a piece, here I get two with extra gaskets. Decent construction although threading on the male side is very short (3-4 threads only). There seem to be some small burrs on some of the surfaces particularly around the brass flats. Installed on my hose, first time I got a leak turns out that it was overtightened. Make sure when you install tighten it snug but not super tight or else you will crush the gasket, probably would have the same problem in any situation where the gasket is floating between two openings. Other than that they seem to work fine, I was able to cut off the water and disconnect my nozzle without any issues with the hose charged. It's nice to have a spare fitting and extra gaskets are handy. Can't comment on durability as I just put it on today but it's just a ball valve so unless the plastic knobs fall off I'm guess it'll be fine.

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!

Works as stated, seems heavy duty and the turn off feature works well.

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.

Used these for a summer and so far working very well. Have to be careful if throwing hose around as on off handle is made out of plastic. I broke one and had to fabricate another. They also work well as a spray nozzle. No complaints and will purchase more when required.

Appear to be a quality item. Arrived ahead of schedule. Cant wait to install them.
