Hopefully they are out of business

I drove up to the dultmeier location 2 days ago to get valves.
How’s that splitter working out for you on your reel for the garden hose? I liked that idea when you posted about it last year, but I have had no luck with them. I’ve had 3 of them split at the “Y” all in the same spot. I refuse to buy another one now. I can’t remember, but I believe it was an Ace brand that you posted the link to for amazon. I bought three of them and they are all gone now. I like having the hose, but haven’t ordered a replacement yet. The ones I had were garbage!
Mine lasted 5 months and split

First one lasted a few months, others a few weeks.
This is number 3 for me too. They make a zinc one, but I have no idea what I did with it. I like that its full flow, I can control flow of water at the reel, and the garden hose for washing stuff off and filling pump sprayers. They’re a few bucks. I’ll buy 5 a year and it’d be worth it to me.

I’d say it would be worth it as well, except when it splits in the middle of a job and I come back to the trailer with water spraying everywhere. I guess I’ll be searching for the zinc one.
It’s only a problem when water is spraying everywhere if there’s SH in it. Otherwise it takes about 3.7 seconds to take it off and get back to the race!

Your right, and it doesn’t have SH in it but I still hate coming back to the trailer to water going everywhere. Every time it has taken me a minute to realize that its just that splitter. I always think I have a pressure hose or something busted. It has been a small crack each time and water is SHOOTING out! Like a pressure hose.
I went three days with my trailer leaking. Sad but true. Working 10-16 hours and throw a night shift in there. I kept saying I’d go to the hardware store but it never happen until today lol. Back to brass
What are you’ll doing to them. sure you bought the right ones. My first lasted 2 years and one I have now probably 15months old

What do you guys need the y for?
I am rough on equipment too, but I still have the first one I bought like 2 1/2 years ago.
I’ve had to replace the gaskets once, I think, but other than that it works dandy.

I wish I knew! I just hook it up and run water through it, nothing else. I bought the same one @squidskc linked a long time ago and its the same one as in his pic above. All of mine have split in the same spot at the bottom of the “Y”. Not sure why, but every one of them has been a lemon
Hey everyone new guy here. Been reading for the past couple weeks but just created an account last night. I’m Sean good meet you!
Envirospec has real expensive O rings called severe duty, I believe it is $25 for 50 of them. I bought those but only been using them for about a week. Have you ever heard of those kind of O-rings. Do you think I wasted money buying those over the standard vitons?
In our trade Buna, Viton and EPDM are used. It was one of the three. There is nothing severe duty about anyone of them. I buy 100 rings for around $17

Probably just paid three times as much for the words “severe duty“ lol. They do seem a lot more firm though and a little harder to get in
