Brass is corrosions resistant and can withstand extreme temperature changes. Review: Leaky non-leak hose connector - Purchased this hose connector because of apparent quality. However, when I hooked it up it leaked. I made sure connection was very tight, I got a new quality washer, and I even hooked up a hose so as to relieve the water pressure on the valve and it still leaked. Leak is between housing and attachment nut. This shouldn't leak when washer is tight? I looked inside the attachment side of housing and noticed several irregular small gaps/bumps along the bottom thread. This is all I can see that could cause problem. Sent back for new item. Hope new connector will work properly. It did seem to be well built. Maybe they need better quality control. It boldly says on package it came in "Life time no leak guarantee". As usually desertcart has made the replacement easy. Here's hoping. GardenSmith 677171 2-Way Hose Connector with Shut-Offs Review: Works - How does It compare with Gilmour Is the question, It has been My experience brass Is valves are much better for high pressure and freezing cold weather than plastic, plastic will bust sooner and worse than brass and takes more time to thaw out. Gilmour Is thinner on the hose connection but Garden Smith the two 3/4 Inch connectors are screwed Into the main body and may come apart when disconnecting the hose and lose the washer and ball but If there Is a replacement washer and ball that would be cheaper than replacing the whole valve. Garden Smith Is also easier to turn on and off than Gilmour. ## Features - Attaches to tap or female hose end - Two adjustable flow controls - Leak free ball valves - Easy to group rubber knobs - Swivel connector ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 1.9 out of 5 stars 7 Reviews | ## Images ![GardenSmith 677171 2-Way Hose Connector with Shut-Off - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71yipBj0XaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Leaky non-leak hose connector *by J***A on April 1, 2011* Purchased this hose connector because of apparent quality.

The six sided collar rotates Behind a flange that is actually a part of the valve body. The washer rides on top of the flange. Time will tell whether this valve cracks or not (probably at the flange where it is mated to the valve body, seems to be the thinnest there). Brass is a relatively soft metal and does not hold up well to freezes, that is, if there is water in the valve when the temp falls below 32F/0C, the expansion will likely crack the valve at its weakest point. This has happened to brass fittings of mine many times and I have nobody to blame but myself. Another part of the valve that concerns me is the blue vinyl coverings on the shut-off knobs. Rubber/vinyl coatings always concern me but so far, after several months of constant on/off, there appears to be no tendency to peel or separate from the twist knob they encase. Only time will tell on this one. And if they do come off, well, the shut-off knob will still be there. Given it has worked flawlessly for the last several months, I have rated it 5 stars. If it breaks, you can bet I'll write an update. **UPDATE** 29 December 2010 as suspected, it will break if left outdoors in a pressurized system. Can't really blame the product, I was taught to drain water hoses and shut off the outdoor water supply during the winter...and, well, guess I should have. I have a system that I leave on all the time but it doesn't have a manifold in it and the nozzle is bullet proof. Still looking for the ultimate 2 way / 4 way manifold. If I find it, i'll update this review. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/31731284-gardensmith-677171-2-way-hose-connector-with-shut-off](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/31731284-gardensmith-677171-2-way-hose-connector-with-shut-off) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
