The valve body is manufactured from durable brass to provide dependable strength and resistance to corrosion in compatible outdoor water applications.
The bent outlet configuration improves hose positioning and can help minimize kinking or unnecessary stress where the hose connects to the valve.
Female pipe threads provide a secure plumbing connection while the standard male garden hose outlet allows quick attachment of common hoses and watering accessories.
