Summary: Looks good, but 2 failed with exact same problem
Comment: I felt compelled to review this so others won't waste their time or water with this bad product.
I came home one afternoon to see water spraying out this, since the metal coupling on the bottom came uncrimped from the rubber hose. No big problem I think, maybe I just got a bad one in the batch since I'd only been using it for about 3 weeks. My setup has it always on, then electronic timers cycle twice daily after this coupler to controller sprinklers in the garden. So I returned it to the local hardware store and got a replacement.
The new one worked for about 2 weeks until failing. I was picking peppers when it let go the second time around, so I at least avoided a muddy garden. However, it was same failure mechanism both times - the metal sleeve popped off the rubber tube.
Save you money and get a real metal divider..this flexible one is a good idea, but poor quality.

Summary: Looks good, but not!!
Comment: Water pressure caused flexible tubes to pop out of housing after a couple of weeks under constant pressure. Tubes can not be re-inserted. Buy brass y hookup.

Summary: Works well, but poor quality and didn't last
Comment: This is the second summer I've used this product. It worked great the first year, but after about a month of use this summer the metal hose connectors on the outlets both cracked, and the thing is now useless. I've taken proper care of the adapter, and our water isn't corrosive, so it looks like the problem is just due to the very thin brass Nelson used for the connectors.

Summary: great item but received damaged
Comment: The sellers contacted me immediately to make sure I received the package and was satisfied. I said I hadn't assembled the products, but they arrived quickly and looked like good quality and they should be great. BUT when I tried to attach the hose, I realized the hose adapter with 2 outlets had been damaged and the threads were bent and compressed. It will not accept a hose. I immediately e mailed them, and then later sent a second e mail. No response to either. It had to have been dropped on concrete to have been damaged this way. No concrete here. Good item, poor service............

Summary: Good Design, cheap parts used for production. Doesn't last.
Comment: I have purchased several of these adapters. I run my hose off of one side and the other feeds my drip irrigation systems.
The unit is reliably safe to use for only ONE season.
Parts that have failed:
Interior ball valves:
--over time won't shut completely
Plastic valve handles:
--after a few months they become brittle and prone to break.
Black "rubber" hose:
--does not handle pressure. After a few weeks of use, when I turn off the valve at the end of the hose the black hose back on this unit starts to balloon. Eventually it fatigues and bursts.
I like the design of this product but it seems that the use of cheap Chinese components have failed the designers. I expected more for my $20 purchase price.
