Garden Hose Y Valve

One of the Y Valve splitters cracked after 10 months of outdoor usage. After we contacted Support, they arranged to get a replacement sent to us as no cost.

Been using this for two years with no issues. Easy to open and close great for elderly and children to operate. Other kinds Ive had didn't last more than a year before breaking at the plastic handle or other spots.

This valve appeared to be of strong construction with ball valves that appear to be stainless steel and are easy to turn on and off. All connectors sealed easily and well. I purchased two of these valves that are used at the same time under 20-50 psi of pressure for a travel trailer filter system. The valve shown in the pictures was about 10 months old and was stored over the winter dry. It was only used under pressure about 6 times for a total of about 4 weeks. There is what appears to be a welded seam at the front of the ball joint and in front of where the threaded connectors attach. It started as a few pinhole leaks that quickly expanded to a clear separation of the ball valve "container" seam. While it is most definitely a premature failure, I'm more upset about it because of the high price I had to pay at the time (there were no other valves of this type readily available, although several additional brands now are). I do not feel I received value for the money. I'm replacing this broken valve and the other valve with a new brand.

FOR - Manufactured to a high standard using high quality materials. - Description on Amazon is correct. - The lever handle at 3 1/2 inches is longer than alternatives and suitable for weak or arthritic hands. - The handle opens when it is pulled towards the user. - Some handles don't, according to Amazon reviews posted by others that I have read. - Tested by my elderly relative with arthritis, who is delighted with it. - The big box stores in my area (south TX) have nothing as good. - Was delivered with 4 spare outlet washers. - More costly than alternatives, but worth it. R0OM FOR REMOVEMENT - Extend the valve brass casing at the back of the unit. - To provide a 'T-Bar' with a hole at each end. - So that the unit can be screwed to a timber backing, e.g. post. - I fashioned a 'work around' to achieve the stability needed for my relative. - But it's not ideal.

Worth what I paid for, which is probably different than what Amazon is listing right now. Giant handles! Yes! Perfect for children and people with painful hand joints! My kids do the farm chores (watering animals), and this is beautiful for them. Plus, the red handles makes it easy for them to tell when the water line is open. Easy to install. It dripped a tiny bit, but really, just a tiny bit. We bought it to replace something that dripped a whole lot, so we'll take the tiny dripping. We'll just put a bucket under it and use it for duck/chicken water. Waste not, want not!

The brass body cracked along a casting seam after only 4 months of service. I purchased this unit in May 2025 and stored the valve in September to avoid freezing over the winter months. In April 2026, I discovered the crack. The valves were left in the open position (no water to freeze) when it was placed in winter storage. This valve appeared to be of strong construction with ball valves that appear to be stainless steel and are easy to turn on and off. All connectors sealed easily and well. This is definitely a manufacturing problem. The seller sent me a full refund with an apology. Because of the seller's rapid response to the problem, I would not hesitate to do business with them again

Well made and exactly what I needed.

Huge game changer. Fast on/off.

Facile d'utilisation et très solide. J'ai des problème d'arthrite au doigt. Je peux ouvrir et fermer l'eau très facilement. Je préfère payer plus cher sur le moment pour un article de qualité. Si on choisit le moins cher, il ne dure pas longtemps en plus il est difficile d'utilisation. A la longue, on gagne à acheter des articles de qualité. lison

Très bien fait. Solides, Faciles a installer, mais nécessite quelques tours de tefflon pour éviter le fuites. Vraiment bien.

Very good value for money, much better than homedepot

We were very impressed with the performance of the HQMPC Garden Hose Y Valve Hose Splitter Brass Hose Splitter with Stainless Steel Long Handle. Worked great the first few months. We kept it in the house over winter. The next season the brass split in a vertical line making it unusable. An obvious manufacturer's defect.

I've been using these hose splitters for a while now and they've worked exactly as expected. I did have to snug them up with a wrench when installing them on the spigot, but once they were tightened properly, they haven't leaked at all. The shutoff valves are a little stiff to turn, especially when they're new. It isn't a problem for me, but it could be something to keep in mind if you have limited hand strength or arthritis. I haven't had them through a winter yet, so I can't comment on how they'll hold up to freezing temperatures. So far though, they've been solid and do exactly what they're supposed to do. For the price, I think they're a great value, and I'd definitely buy them again.
