HQMPC Garden Hose Y Valve Splitter With Stainless Steel Long Handle - Brass 2 Way Water Adapter, 3/4" GHT Thread

One of the Y Valve splitters cracked after 10 months of outdoor usage. After we contacted Support, they arranged to get a replacement sent to us as no cost.

Update: I've noticed the price has dropped a lot since I purchased this splitter. It's dropped in price by at least $10 since I first purchased it. Bummer for me. That said, I do have to say that this product has stood up to the pounding sun and I'm still quite happy with this splitter. There are a lot of inexpensive plastic hose splitters. This isn't one of them. I decided to bite the bullet and buy a brass one. Yes, it's spendy, but it works well. I expect it to last. I wish the long handles weren't red, but that's a minor quibble because they are so easy to turn on and off. The reason is that my gas shut off valve is red. I'd rather not have them both be red so that in an emergency, someone won't think they're shutting off the gas since the handles are quite long, like those on a gas shut off valve.

This valve appeared to be of strong construction with ball valves that appear to be stainless steel and are easy to turn on and off. All connectors sealed easily and well. I purchased two of these valves that are used at the same time under 20-50 psi of pressure for a travel trailer filter system. The valve shown in the pictures was about 10 months old and was stored over the winter dry. It was only used under pressure about 6 times for a total of about 4 weeks. There is what appears to be a welded seam at the front of the ball joint and in front of where the threaded connectors attach. It started as a few pinhole leaks that quickly expanded to a clear separation of the ball valve "container" seam. While it is most definitely a premature failure, I'm more upset about it because of the high price I had to pay at the time (there were no other valves of this type readily available, although several additional brands now are). I do not feel I received value for the money. I'm replacing this broken valve and the other valve with a new brand.

A solid Y and shutoffs

I purchased this to replace a smaller brass splitter in my fenced garden. I have one side hooked up to a hose and watering wand and the other side hooked up to my timer and drip irrigation. I am very happy with my purchase. The splitter is heavy duty, nice and solid. I like that the levers are larger, it makes it easy to open the valves, even though I leave them open through the growing season for the most part. I used silicone plumbers tape and hose washers on my connections and I have not had any leaking at all from this splitter. I was hesitant to order this based on the price point being a little higher than most hose splitters but I am glad I took the chance. It really is better quality and easier to use than my old splitter. I would definitely purchase again if I ever needed another two way splitter.

The brass body cracked along a casting seam after only 4 months of service. I purchased this unit in May 2025 and stored the valve in September to avoid freezing over the winter months. In April 2026, I discovered the crack. The valves were left in the open position (no water to freeze) when it was placed in winter storage. This valve appeared to be of strong construction with ball valves that appear to be stainless steel and are easy to turn on and off. All connectors sealed easily and well. This is definitely a manufacturing problem. The seller sent me a full refund with an apology. Because of the seller's rapid response to the problem, I would not hesitate to do business with them again

Worth what I paid for, which is probably different than what Amazon is listing right now. Giant handles! Yes! Perfect for children and people with painful hand joints! My kids do the farm chores (watering animals), and this is beautiful for them. Plus, the red handles makes it easy for them to tell when the water line is open. Easy to install. It dripped a tiny bit, but really, just a tiny bit. We bought it to replace something that dripped a whole lot, so we'll take the tiny dripping. We'll just put a bucket under it and use it for duck/chicken water. Waste not, want not!

We are using these and they are heavy duty, solid and well made.

Très bien fait. Solides, Faciles a installer, mais nécessite quelques tours de tefflon pour éviter le fuites. Vraiment bien.

Works great... doesn't leak and the ball valve handles are so much easier on arthritic hands compared to a regular faucet. It's really nice to have another outlet available so I don't have to disconnect the hose when I just need a bit of water for something. Just be sure to remove it if there's a danger of frost because it will crack if it freezes.

Very good value for money, much better than homedepot

This is the second time I've bought this item. The first one broke after 1 week and this new one only broke after 3 days because had cracked. It may feel heavy duty and good quality but I'm not the only one that has had this cracking problem with this specific product. If I could give it 0 stars I would.

I've been using these hose splitters for a while now and they've worked exactly as expected. I did have to snug them up with a wrench when installing them on the spigot, but once they were tightened properly, they haven't leaked at all. The shutoff valves are a little stiff to turn, especially when they're new. It isn't a problem for me, but it could be something to keep in mind if you have limited hand strength or arthritis. I haven't had them through a winter yet, so I can't comment on how they'll hold up to freezing temperatures. So far though, they've been solid and do exactly what they're supposed to do. For the price, I think they're a great value, and I'd definitely buy them again.
