Not for use with a timer
I had one of these put ahead of a Gilmour 9400 timer on a hose bib connection. BAD IDEA. The timer shut-off causes a lot of water hammer and this broke the tee. That is, the hammer, after about a month, caused a crack in the tee that allowed a LOT of water leakage.
If you're just looking for a tee for convience then this is a nice one. The knobs on the valve are big and easy to use.
Just DO NOT use it in a constant supply situation where there will be any sort of hard shut off as the plastic WILL crack.
Great way to attach two hoses to one outlet
It was so simple to install and works like a charm. Doesn't leak at all and when one or both sides are switched to off, not a drop of water is allowed through.
Great for ordinary use
I don't use this with a timer, like the previous reviewer. It's attached to a hose bib and two hoses (with quick connects.) It works.
Better yet, it's held up under the hot south Florida sun for quite a long time, with no obvious deterioration and no bleaching. I wish I could say that about my hoses and other hardware.
Amazon's pricing is a bit startling. Right now the price is listed as $66.99 with a significant discount which makes the price slightly better than the $5 and change I paid at Lowe's. I'd pick another one up if I thought I'd need one anytime soon, but I expect this to last a long time.
