HYDRO MASTERHeavy Duty 3/4" Brass Shut Off Valve with Large Handle, Full Flow Garden Hose Connector

So far limited use, but it was easy to install and it works as described.

There's nothing I found with this product that would prevent me from recommending it. Be advised, it is well made and it's heavier than I thought if would be. But for what I needed it for, it's stationary as a on and off water valve. The other reason I got this one was the shut off valve, which is longer and heavier made.

Item is not in use as yet. Needed for mechanical class.

Great little gadget to get full flow control on hose. Only downside is that any throttling sprays the water, so it is either full flow or spraying. Wish there was a way to control a smooth flow of water but turning off the flow and reducing at the faucet is not to hard.

What makes this special is that it is truly full-flow, the gaskets aren't exposed like some competitors, and it's incredibly sturdy. A few, years ago I bought a different brand, no longer available, that had all these features, and was upset I hadn't bought more. I bought a different brand that seemed to be the same, but it had a lot of faults. When I ran across this one, I hoped it would at least be an improvement, but it was exactly what I was looking for. I should order more before it's discontinued or tariffed.

While I won't be able to definitively speak to the durability of this shutoff valve, for some time to come, I am enthusiastically hopeful that it will far surpass the plastic, aluminum, and other such shutoffs I have purchased over the years. It feels substantial and beefy.I appreciate the "full flow" of the shutoff, as well as the "not stubby" lever for flow control or on/off basic function. The lever movement is smooth, positive, and agreeable. Pleased with this purchase — for now. 😉

I gave this five stars because it looks really sturdy and it fits our purpose. It was a bit stiff at first, like really stiff. I wondered if I was going to get a chunk missing out of my finger with the force needed to move it initially. However, once I got it moving, it was great. My 7 year old can move it. We have it attached to the end of the hose we use to water our little goat herd. It does require two hands to operate. And it still is a bit stiff to move, so those with hand mobility issues may want to use WD-40 or look for a different product. But for us, this is perfect. It allows us to turn on the faucet, about 100 feet away from the end of the hose without it just running. Over it, I have a spray nozzle with no moving parts, perfect for children and farm animals.

I use them on the end of the hose to be the shutoff between a dramm hose end and the spigot. Work great, but when pulled along the grass, they can easily turn on and start spray water everywhere. All other valves that I have used don't hold up as well, but also don't suffer from opening up when drug. I am still looking for something better, but have not found anything yet.
