I have had many adapters over time and this is the best. The quality exceeds any others. Plus it doesn't leak!!

Great connector. I love the fact that I can use two different hoses without unconnecting one hose in place of another. Also, the knobs to turn on and off the hose works well.

I bought one of these 2-way connectors cheaper but made of plastic which only lasted a little over a year before it started leaking internally. This one is of much higher quality and all metal construction. So far I really am impressed with it.

I used plumber's teflon tape at both of my hose connections, as they're more or less permanent. The valves operate smoothly and effectively, and none of the junctions leak.

I got more than expected when I purchased the Gilmour 2-Way Connector. Heavy brass construction and nice swiveling threaded adaptor on supply line connection makes it easy to connect without having to twist or fight hoses.

This is a very good quality connector. I've been using mine for about two weeks but it has a very small slow leak. It's such a slowly dripping leak that it really makes no difference for me, and it certainly is a 100% improvement over the plastic ones. This connector is very heavy and very sturdy.

The 2-way connector works fine. The only problem I find is that the on/off knobs are so close together it is hard to turn them. I am not the strongest person and it takes a few tries before I can turn the left knob on. Other than the little glitch I find the product sufficient to do what I bought it to do.

This was the perfect answer. I used this to connect both a garden hose and an automatic water bowl for my dogs. I keep one valve open and the other closed. It works great. A little leaking on the first day at the initial connection but stopped without any adjustment needed. Very solid.

So far, I have not been able to turn the valves to make this turn off. I plan to try WD40 or somthing to see if that will help. I have stronger hands than my husband so I am not sure what the problem is.

I have used dozens of adaptors and splitters over the years on the farm--this one is above average, but it is still junk. Beware! It may be brass but don't be fooled--they all have plastic connectors to the faucet and these break or leak--typically all of them last a year if you are lucky. DO NOT leave it with the water turned on. They will fail and you will have a huge water bill. This has happened twice, all with Gilmour products. It is easy to forget, since you THINK the water is off, only to find that these failed and you have flooded the yard aat a cost of over $100 IF you catch it in time. If someone made a quality splitter or adpter, I would buy it in an instant!
