There is a standard US hose diameter on the outlets. That is equivalent to an outer diameter of 1 1/16 inches based on Wikipedia.
A part of it is made out of Chinese slag metal and not brass. That's trash.
Probably, the Gilmore unit is made of brass and has a small amount of lead. Mechanical engineers tend to believe those cancer warnings due to leaded brass, even though I have a great deal of experience in this field of study. There are real risks of loss, injury, and death in a world characterized by risk A cancer diagnosis is a difficult one. An object made of lead and brass that is used in the garden can seem pretty insignificant.

Here is a picture that doesn't correspond to what was On the picture, it appears that the barrels of the splitter are heavier(more material) than the other Chinese splitters on Amazon but, in fact, it is the same small diameter barreled splitter that all the others are selling! I have had a problem with the threads eventually splitting in this particular thread. I assume the threads originate from the same factory in China as the other In addition, both on the splitter and in the accompanying material, the company warns that the splitter is only fit for yard use because it is not entirely made out of solid brass and has lead mixed into it or on the In a way, I should be grateful that the warning about it being incompatible with potable water was at least given. I'm really surprised no one checked to see if the picture matches the product we received.
(Unlike quite a few other products), my item is exactly as pictured. In order to use it at the campground, I purchased this for the RV It is therefore not something you would use every day. The device has been hooked up for five days It began to leak after a few days. didn't know where the leak came from, so as soon as I got home from camping, I tested it. There are two types of Y-shaped curves The leak occurs in two places on the connector. The outdoor faucet and one of the Ys on the outdoor faucet It seems that the device leaks even though the water flow is closed or that a small amount of water leaks through the device. I should say that it worked for about four hours and then stopped. The deadline for acceptance is 5 days from now Then, at two out of three points where water flows through it, I discovered it was leaking. You need a Y-cord, so go to the box store and purchase one I returned my garbage Converter so you can get it back if it is garbage like mine.
My hose tap was fitted with a dog waterer, so I need to keep the tap constantly running. A garden hose is connected to the other half of the "Y". The hose fittings sealed up very easily with just hand pressure, and the paddle handle allowed the legs of the Y to seal up with the paddle handle so the watering hose did not These Ys can sometimes impede the flow of water, but this one works better than the leaky Y that had been in place previously. Just a little better ergonomics would make the thumb handles a lot better for me. You have to press kind of hard to turn them since they're a little small.
In order to provide water to my RV, I will only order brass fittings and connectors. In contrast to plastic, brass stays in place and on/off valves do not break off as easily as those in plastic. After two years of use, I had to replace it because the water at our RV has a high concentration of metals. In fact, I had previously purchased the brass fitting and had to replace it not due to any defect in the brass. It's a good product, I highly recommend it.
Due to its location, the cracks are sure to leak, almost no matter what you do (see photo). The reason why I can't figure out will not be worth my time. By all means, go for it if you need it for less than a year. If not, then you're out of luck!.
Trying another Y connector caused it to leak (and I returned it). The one here is a better choice for a few One of its benefits is that it does not The importance of that cannot be overstated. Another advantage is the on/off switches are easier to turn and it is easy to see if they are in the on or off position since they are marked with As long as the sprinkler is not turned on, you might not know if the water is on or off when the timer is activated when it is not time for the sprinkler. However, I also have a hose with a wrist spray nozzle that will let water flow only when the trigger is squeezed, so I cannot tell if water is flowing to that hose as well. As I often use the clock, I want to know that the water is on the timer side, and off on the other. Since the raised brass markings are permanent, I can see this, and I do not have to worry about the markings wearing off over time. Fortunately, the timer attaches to one side of this connector well, leaving just enough room for me to remove the programming module when I need to and then slide it back into place when I am done. In addition, I've had other connectors that created a lot of noise when an extension or a timer were added to one side and the water was left on that side. This one does not cause that problem. Despite my phobia about plastic, I don't feel that way. The short answer to my question is I am satisfied as long as it works, and so far, this is doing the job far better for me than a hose connector with plastic shut off tabs that I had for years even when they were left outside With regards to the price, it is a very good item and I.
Unfortunately, the manufacturer who constructed this device did not check it with some common hose accessories. It appears to be made of less brass because it has been redesigned. It's easy to see how close everything is in the picture. Even those with larger hands will probably struggle to adjust those two tiny switches. In addition, the smaller size comes with a number of other inconveniences. I am unable to use my quick change hose connectors as they were designed because the internals are jammed. When the water is disconnected, my pump cuts off the water supply. Currently, the body of the valve gets jammed open, bottoming out in the Y connector, so the valve is no longer functional. I can't concentrate on all the things going on at once.
In that case, it doesn't matter as A good example of this is the way this young man acted Brass was used to manufacture the connector The plastic connectors I previously had weren't sturdy and of poor quality, so I wanted something of better quality instead. Having read its description and looked at some reviews, I decided to order two of these items. For the first few weeks, I was absolutely delighted. According to their description, they did exactly what they said they would do-- This pair of valves did not leak, they fit perfectly, they controlled the flow nicely, the shut-off valves were perfect The shutoff valves were easy to use and the like. However, after only a few months, the plastic eventually broke down. Disconnect the valves after they've been opened - I found 4 of them (2 on each connector) - It was no longer possible to move around. The right hand in my right arm isn't as strong as it used to be due to a broken wrist a few years ago, and I had my gardener try them too, but he couldn't move them, too. In the end, I decided to use my trusty, big parrot Initially, I tried to force them with nose pliers, but then my better judgment kicked in. I didn't do it because I knew there was a very good chance it would break the valves. So now I'm stuck with these two, one of which will stop working tomorrow and one of which won't start at all It is common to find off valves that are locked in place, effectively rendering them These are completely unacceptable to me and I am unable to recommend them.
