Haus & Garten Heavy-Duty Brass Shut Off Valve

So far so good. No leaks. Feels very solid. Working as described.

Easily attaches to hose. No leaking from either the valve or the threads. Heavy duty quality product.

I had a China made pistol grip hose nozzle. Lasted one season before it started leaking from multiple areas. As the old axiom, you get what you paid for. I reversed course and bought a USA made brass hose nozzle and coupled it with the Haus & Garden brass shut -off valve. Both fittings were top quality USA made devices that worked together tightly without a single errant drip. Both were precision brass fittings unlike the overuse of plastics in China products. Quality products made with top materials are actually cheaper over a lifetime.

Very good shut-off valve, well built, just a little pricey.

Easy to put in service on a hose for watering three horses in a barn. Previously I had nozzle that needed a long trigger pull to fill six 5 gallon buckets, 2 to each stall, and they wore out in just 3 to5 months. This valve allowed an on / off process which made it easier to get the job done. I recently bought my second one of these valves when the first one became a little bit leaky after about 22 thousand on-off cycles, when the bushing for the ball stem got slightly loose. I could have probably gotten another three years usage with only a tiny leakage to stop by turning off the garden valve overnights. But these are not expensive, built like military tanks, and handy to use. The perfect solution in my situation. I wish more products were this good and reliable.
