Expert Gardener Brass 4-Way Hose Faucet Manifold

This is a nice quality splitter. Because you have potentially 4 hoses hooked up thus adding extra weight to your faucet, it does come with a bracket and screws that you attach to the splitter and then to the wall behind the faucet. This provides extra support which keeps everything secure.

I received this product from the Spark Reviewer program. This 4 way shut off is a great thing for us. With having a pool and a garden and tons of flowers. We can all get the job done without waiting on the the hose. We now can have four people working at the same time. Since it's brass it's durable.

Has made watering my gardens %26 setting up outdoor water play a lot easier. No more needing to fiddle with multiple hoses to figure out which one i need. Now that I have 4 spigots to attach each hose to had made everything easier. I've bought other brands that have broken/started to leak within days %26 so far this one is holding up with no issues.

I bought this 4-way brass manifold because I have one outdoor spigot and about four different things I need to hook up to it. In the summer, I've got a garden hose for watering vegetables, a shorter hose for washing the dog, a drip irrigation line for my flower beds, and occasionally a pressure washer. Switching hoses every time was driving me crazy. The first thing I noticed when I pulled it out of the box is how heavy it is. This thing is solid brass, not that lightweight aluminum or plastic junk. The four outlets each have their own twist dial and they turn smoothly with a nice rubber grip. No squeaking or grinding. I attached it to my spigot with some plumber's tape and it threaded on easily without cross-threading. Here's what most people probably want to know. Does it leak? So far, no. I turned on the main spigot with all four dials closed and let it sit for an hour. Came back, felt around each connection, everything was dry. When I opened one dial at a time, the water flow was strong and consistent with no drop in pressure from the main line. My only complaint is that the dials aren't labeled in any way. I have to remember which outlet goes to which hose unless I grab a permanent marker and write on the brass myself. Not a deal breaker, just mildly annoying on a Saturday morning when I'm half awake trying to water the tomatoes. I'm hoping this manifold holds up through a few winters. I live somewhere with freezing temps so I'll disconnect it before the first frost. The brass feels like it could last years if I take care of it. Good for anyone with more hoses than spigots. Just bring your own labels. Four hoses, one brain cell left for labeling

Does the perfect job for my multiple hoses instead of constantly connecting and disconnecting hoses. Should have bought this a long time ago.

the shut off valves for each outlet are well constructed and seal off water flow . the inlet attachment fitting and the threaded hose ends seal well . No unwanted leaks anywhere. recommended !!!

I didn't know it was complex. I will not attach it to the bricks with the brace and screws provided. I just put some brick underneath to brace it. This was all they had, and they didn't have the 2 hose one that I wanted.

I like having the ability to connect 4 hoses. there is a metal support for the weight of the unit plus the 4 hoses, it says to remove the spigot every winter but I don't know how necessary that really is if your water drains when not in use.but the usual winter spigot cover isn't big enough to cover it for protection.

Poor connection on hose end resulted in screw part completely coming off, but other two units are good and cheapest price via other companies so maybe I just got a bad one ?

Cheaply built, the threads separate from the unit itself and the ball valve which opens and closes fell out of one of the spigots rendering the product unusable unless the main water source is turned off. Looks like a decent product but in actuality it’s anything but.
