This is more flow than a 5/8 inch garden hose can supply, and as much as a 3/4 inch garden hose can supply. This does makes the valve "full flow". The best shut-off valve available.

Review: Surprisingly handy and definitely high quality - This is high quality and such an upgrade when watering the garden. I had the recommended to me by someone with a lot of horticultural experience. I thought it would be superfluous with a nozzle already on the end of my hose, but this comes in so handy so often I'm glad I got it. It's great to be able to turn off the flow at the end of the hose in order to change nozzles, connect to a soaker hose, or for any number of reasons. The value is high quality, works perfectly and comes in so handy.
Review: This valve works great, just don't overtighten - This valve works great. Easy on and off even with wet hands. If you are frustrated with plastic valves that are difficult to turn on and off and break in one season's use, this is the product for you. Some of the criticisms are not well thought out. The "aluminum" ball is designed to work against the nylon surfaces inside the valve body. This is an improvement over the older metal on metal design, not cheaper construction. Brass against brass moving parts wear fairly quickly under constant use. Note that the ball is easily replaced, as testified to by the people who complained about it "falling out." The steel nut that "discolors" is likely an improved strengthening of a critical part, not a cheap substitute. It should be stainless steel, but discoloring and even rusting does not affect its function. If it drives you crazy, replace it with a stainless one from your local hardware store. While people certainly CAN use this valve as a shut-off at the male (delivery) end of a hose, it's size and weight suggest that it is intended to be used between the faucet and the female (entry) end of the hose, most likely with a multiple splitter of some type to allow shutting off some lines while using others. The complaints of the levers getting in the way or catching on things when using the product in ways for which it was not designed are not flaws in the product, but limitations in using it in ways other than primarily intended. Those wanting a shut off at the male (delivery) end of a hose might find the aluminum version of this valve somewhat lighter. Users should note that the on/off lever can be re-positioned 180 degrees, if needed, to avoid hitting against a device to which the valve is connected. Remove the holding screw, change the position of the lever, and replace the screw. There may be problems with using the valve, as intended, in some individual situations, but the manufacturer cannot be expected to anticipate every individual application. One of my faucets was placed much too close to the ground and it caused problems with using the valve as I had hoped. I managed a "workaround," but the problem was the faucet, not the valve. The complaint that the female end has "too few threads" makes no sense. As long as there are sufficient threads to hold the connecting pieces together, the number of threads on the female end of any "garden hose" connector cannot be "too short" in a way that would make the connection leak. The seal is provided by the washer not by the tightening of the threads against each other (as with tapered threads on iron pipe). The only thing that could cause a leak by a female end would be it being so LONG that a standard size male connector could not reach and seat against the washer. A MALE end (perhaps what another reviewer meant?) so short that it can not seat fully against the washer in the female end of a particular hose or other garden device COULD cause leaking. Either problem can usually be resolved by using an additional washer (or washers). Above all, people should follow instructions and know that, with this and any other garden hose connector, you should not over tighten the fitting. Tempting as it is to put a crescent wrench on the hexagon shaped body and get it "really good and tight," don't. You will likely displace the washer into the throat of the male connector and cause the valve to leak. Hand tightening, with the connectors and your hands dry, is always recommended with all these type products. If using a wrench, only tighten the connector until it stops leaking. If the valve does not leak when the faucet is open and the valve is closed, but leaks AT THE FEMALE CONNECTOR when the valve is then opened, the problem is almost always a poorly seated washer. If you have leaks and cannot see a flaw in the casting or a damaged or displaced washer, try placing a second washer in the female connector, and, again, HAND tighten. If the additional washer is not a snug fit, you may need to pry out the washer that comes with the product and place the additional washer under the original one to get the best seal. In short, spending a little time trying to figure out why a seemingly good product is not working properly might reveal that there is nothing wrong with the product, only with the way you are using it (mia culpa). I allow that any product has some defective samples, but judging by the number of positive reviews, I do not believe this is a common problem with this valve.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the internal ball brass or plastic**
A: I have bought these for years.  Over the last year and a half I have bought three more, and ALL of them have had the ball bearing and it's white plastic gasket justs falls out while I'm holding it 3 months to a year within purchasing them.  Used to be good .. now are junk

**Q: Is it made in the usa**
A: No, not entirely. The Machined brass body, and all internal components are Made in USA while the externals -- the lock nut, the screw, and the forged brass handle -- are made in China. The back of the item package labeling says "Assembled in USA of US & foreign components".

**Q: Exactly how much does the handle extend beyond main part of the valve?  I have an application that is not on a hose where clearance matters.**
A: 7/8".  The valve body is machined from a hexagon bar, 1.25" across the flats.

**Q: Can the shut off lever be turned 180 degrees so the on position is on the male side? Thanks John**
A: It looks like it can be turned 180. The end of the threaded shaft that is visable has two flats. However, the body is a 1-1/4 in. hex. So a female hose connection greater than 1-1/4 in. dia. would interfere with the lever and not allow full turn on. A simple brass female hose coupling should clear.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best valve, lasts forever. Updated
*by S***I on July 8, 2018*

The best valves, been using these for decades and most of the ones I bought almost 25 years ago are still in use. Just needed one more. Awesome product. Update Summer 2021: a lot of Chinese companies copied the design on this valve. But they are bad copies, they have a much smaller opening inside and only give you like half the flow. I had one of my made in the USA Dramm valves I have had for like 20 years in it get a mysterious hole in the brass body. No idea how. Contacted Dramm, they promptly sent a new one and more free repair parts for my other valves. WOW! Show me a company in 2021 that has service like Dramm. They are the best. I keep buying more of their valves, water breakers, water wands and other products. Update October 2018: Still 5 stars for these, I would give them more than 5 if I could believe me! Still the best and well worth the price in my mind. You get what you pay for. I called Dramm last month because I had a couple of these where the hose washers had gotten old and loose and fallen out. You can replace those hose washers with other brands, but in my case when they fell out it had allowed the little white plastic washers which are a custom Dramm part that locks the ball valve in place to also fall out and get lost in the tall grass. I wanted to see if I could buy just a few of those washers without buying the entire kit which replaces all the internals and the handle and so on. I was glad they sell a kit with all that, but I didn't need it all. So I called and the representative I spoke with was so nice, she said she would just send me out what I needed at no charge. I got them the other day and was able to fix up those old valves. Wow. I hoped to be able to buy the parts, but getting sent them free of charge is just above and beyond. Now I feel I am in there debt and will have to buy more of their stuff ASAP. Smart company. I am sure they know that is how I will feel! I will continue to buy US made Dramm valves. They have the best product and the best service too. Just tremendous. And it is good to know that if I ever need to buy a kit to replace all the internals I can do that too. Probably the solid brass valve body will outlast me and my wife and our son will inherit them all and be able to rebuild them. I made sure to show him what I was doing and tell him how good Dramm was to me so he would know this is not a disposable product, more of a family heirloom type of thing, the way many things used to be built but very few are now. They even sent detailed instructions to go with the parts. Just a great company all around.
