Haus & Garten Heavy-Duty 3/4" Brass Garden Hose Shut Off Valve - Garden Hose Connector, Water Shutoff, Gardening Hose Nozzle Valve, Outdoor 3/4 Inch GHT Brass Shut Off Valve Attachment (2-Pack)

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.

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.

I'm trying to skate the replacement of a hose bibb. This valve lets me close the water with confidence and it buys me some time. The valve is well made and so far I haven't found any failures or weaknesses. I would recommend this as a way to shut off a hose outlet with confidence (at least so far).
