Where others use zinc or “all-metal” construction, Fairview's all-brass design (including the valve handles and hex nut) ensures long lasting reliability and ease of use. Easily connects to any traditional garden faucet to allow the connection of up to two hoses at one time. Each outlet is individually controlled using its own high-quality leak-free ball valve that allows the user to customize where they want the water to flow. CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Valves may be stiff if left for long periods of time. If necessary, gentle use a set of pliers to assist in opening/closing valve. Once in regular use, valves should operate normally. When storing, leave valves half open to prevent water from being trapped behind the ball. Store indoors over the winter months or when temperatures are below freezing. Do not over tighten on spigot.
