I was having leaks etc with my previous plastic hose pieces that had failing o-rings. I popped these on instead and was so surprised to not even see a single drop leaking from my hose to the pressure washer. Super impressed. They’re solid metal and quality. The claps works so smoothly. Been several weeks now, and they have withstood the weather. No rust or anything. Very impressed.
In this multi-product listing I’m reviewing the 3/4 brass hose connectors.
I’m finding that these work well for me. The male tap connector threads onto my outdoor taps with no issues, and I used new rubber washers to ensure a watertight seal. The female hose connectors are easy to attach to hose, and grip well. I highly recommend you dunk your hose in a mug of hot water for a few minutes before fitting the connector, as it will soften the rubber and make fitting the end connector and achieving a reliable connection MUCH easier.
The latch mechanism that locks the two fittings together is positive and reliable. I’ve lubricated mine with a little silicone grease, and helps keep it super-smooth.
Before switching to brass, I used to use the plastic type of connector, but they always go brittle and break after a while. Brass doesn’t – it’s bomb proof.
Just bought this and fitted it. Major concern is leaks as I use it to water plants on a timer so tap is open all the time. Went on like a dream and no leaks. Long May it last but it looks solid.
Was creating an outside sink area and needing a water feed from the outside tap. I also needed to keep the existing garden hose connection. I suppose you could keep exchanging the connection depending on your needs but this y splitter seems to be able to allow two outputs from the outside tap.
It is quite a weighty splitter being made from brass and all the fittings fit well including the hose connectors.
What I found very useful is that you are able to regulate each output depending on your needs but also switch them off as well.
The shut off system is a ball type and I think this tends to be more reliable. I did not notice any drop in watter pressure when using this splitter but naturally when you are using both sides then there will be a noticeable drop.
For the money I think this is a good deal especially as it is all metal construction.
I am slowly in the process of upgrading all of my plastic host connectors to metal ones. There are various advantages I feel,
– They grip the hose better
– They tend to leak less around the connector
– They hold together better within the connectors
Additionally, after many uses the plastic (and to some extent the metal ones too) connectors will start to leak. With the metal connectors this is usually fixed by replacing the (cheap) O-ring and then they are as good as new.
These connectors fit well with the sets that I already have. To connect them, usually you need to pull the ring back then push them together, which is slightly different to plastic connectors.
The only thing missing from the sets, is a hose-to-hose connecto
The Sylken 3/4″ Tap Y Splitter Brass offers a practical solution for efficient garden water management.
It has a substantial, sturdy brass construction and is definitely durable, making it suitable for outdoor use in various weather conditions.
The 2-way design with individually controllable valves allows for control over water flow, enabling users to connect multiple hoses and adjust the flow rate according to their watering needs.
This feature is particularly convenient for me, having one tap and being able to water the front and back areas of the garden simultaneously, pretty easily.
The splitter has a high flow rate, which ensures sufficient water pressure for optimal use without getting lacklustre dribbles of water at either end.
Installation is quick and straightforward, thanks to the universal 3/4″ tap connector, which fits most standard outdoor faucets. The ergonomic design of the splitter also ensures a secure grip for easy attachment and removal.
I do have a small amount of leakage with it however. It may be able to go a bit tighter but expect that there will be some leakage out of the seals.
Way better than the plastic version I had previously though!
Overall, the Sylken 3/4″ Tap Y Splitter Brass is a reliable and practical addition to any garden or outdoor watering system.
Its durable construction, efficient design, and high flow rate make it a great tool for maintaining your garden with minimal effort.
