The body of this heavy-duty splitter is precision-machined from forged, lead-free brass for exceptional durability and long-term performance.
The interior ball is made from durable chrome-plated brass. The easy-grab ON/OFF flow control lever is formed from a high-impact resin material, and the O-ring washer in the female fitting is made from ultra-strong polyurethane material.
All backed by our 10-Year No-Leak, No-Fail Guarantee.
Oversized finger grips on the female fitting make it easy to achieve a secure, water-tight connection with the durable O-ring washer.
The 1/4-turn “stay-put” flow control levers allow for precise adjustment and hold their position during use.
Ultra-durable and maintenance-free internal Teflon® seals keep the ball valves operating smoothly and leak-free for over ten years, guaranteed.
This ELEY-exclusive design features a third expandable port for added versatility.
Attach a hose, shut-off valve, or additional splitter to expand your system. To expand, remove the bottom brass cap and thread on the additional item. The bottom third port has no flow-control valve and will be "constant flow." However, if desired, the ELEY straight shut-off valve (Item #1117) can be added to create a 3rd flow-control valve.
The removable brass cap can be used to cap any garden hose or watering device with male 3/4" garden hose threads.
Designed with standard 3/4-inch garden hose threads (GHT), this splitter is compatible with any standard hose or accessory.
Add ELEY quick-connectors to each port for faster, more convenient connections—eliminating the need to thread and unthread hoses.
For best performance, avoid pairing brass components with aluminum fittings, as this can lead to galvanic corrosion over time.

Yes. The ELEY 2-way Y-valve splitter is manufactured using high-quality materials commonly used in applications involving drinking water contact, including lead-free brass components that comply with federal lead-free standards and durable EPDM rubber O-rings.
For more information, see Drinking Water Safe & Garden Hoses: What You Need to Know.
When fully open, the two upper interior ball valves create an opening that is 14mm in diameter, (0.55 inches), or just over 1/2" Inside Diameter.
The ID of the bottom capped port is 5/8-inches (15.875 mm)
The valve measures 3-5/16 inches high × 5-3/16 inches wide × 2-5/16 inches deep.
Yes. Any ball valve that is equipped with standard garden hose threads can be added to the bottom port so as to allow for on, off or adjustable flow through the bottom 3rd port. Simply remove the brass cap on the bottom port and replace it with a ball valve of your choosing. We would recommend considering one of the two ELEY in-line ball valves, either our #1116 ball valve with a swivel fitting, (first image) or our #1117 standard ball valve, (second image).
No. The ELEY 2-way Y-valves are built for outdoor, intermittent use, not for constant pressure or indoor plumbing. They are rated to 165 °F (74 °C) and 120 PSI (8.3 bar). Continuous pressure can wear out seals and cause leaks—so always shut off the faucet and relieve pressure when not in use.
Yes. The ELEY 2-way Y-valve splitter uses a small PTFE (Teflon®) seal inside the valve assembly to support smooth operation and leak-resistant performance. The seal has limited contact with water as it passes through the valve.
The ELEY 2-way Y-valve splitter is manufactured using high-quality materials selected for durability, performance, and drinking water contact.
No, it is not intended for indoor use. Outdoor use only.
We suggest removing all watering tool attachments from the spigot before temperatures drop below freezing, as water can get trapped inside the valve body when the valve is fully open or fully closed. However, if you're going to leave it attached to the spigot, be sure to do the following:

"It’s so nice to have a 2-way splitter that I don’t have to worry about it leaking after a couple of months of use. These splitters are heavy weight and solid. Just the feel of the splitters when I unboxed them gave me confidence that I had finally found a splitter that would last for years. Keep up the great work Eley!"
"The 2-way splitter was a well engineered and beautifully machined piece and perfect for its job at my boat dock. I needed two valved outlets for dedicated water purposes and a third open outlet with a secure cap for boat maintenance workers. . . . pricy but worth the money for something that is constantly exposed to a harsh marine environment."
"Our youngest son had purchased several Eley products including the two-way hose splitter. He loved it so much he wanted another one to replace the leaky one on his second outdoor faucet. I wanted one too after seeing how well it works and ordered them for our other two sons as well. Now we all have the best hose splitters and no one has to deal with drips. It’s the little things in life!"
"“Excellent quality product! This brass 2-way hose splitter is very sturdy, well-made, and works perfectly. The solid brass construction feels durable and leak-free, and the shut-off valves operate smoothly. Installation was quick and easy. I have been very satisfied with its performance and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality hose splitter. Great value for the price!”"
"Excellent quality made of brass and has a heavy, solid feel. The valve is effortless and easy on my arthritic thumb. There is no leakage and the couplers are much easier to use than the ones that I previously used. I wish that I had made the switch years ago."
"I am 62 and have spent most of those years believing outdoor faucets leaking was just the way it was. But the amount of water that leaked from my old Y adapter finally promted me to search for one that guaranteed no leaks. This one popped up and, with fingers crossed, I took a chance. I cannot stress enough my delighted giggles when I installed it, held my breath and turned on the water and NO LEAKING! Completely dry at all connections. I've been using it for weeks now several times each day and I'm STILL giggling! What led me to writing this review. . . Not only am I over the moon about not having a mud puddle at the foundation of my house anymore, but my water bill just arrived and it's down $40!!! I can't tell you how grateful I am. Buy it. Don't hesitate. If you're over old connectors that drip, are sticky, hard to use, buy this. Connections are smooth, easy for my arthritic hands to operate and it changes everything. The photos don't look like much until you tell yourself what's missing from them, water leaking. There's not a single drop leaking. Amen."
"I’ve purchased from Eley twice and was amazed by the quality and thoughtful design each time. This spring I decided I wanted a two-way splitter and I’m living the dream with it installed. In addition to perfect action of the valves for two feeds, I’m also occasionally using the third (downward) feed for direct filling of buckets, washing hands, etc. Quality of the casting is impeccable. Heirloom item."
"I bought the splitter and 8 quick connects and you can’t get quality like this from any big box store. Well worth the money and I highly recommend ELEY products!"
"I love that this 2-way splitter is actually a 3-way splitter. It was perfect for my backyard hose outlet, only needed one, with three hoses connected. I bought two splitters thinking I'd have to connect two 2-way splitters but discovered it was really 3-way. I kept the second one anyway and put it on my front hose outlet because I need a 2-way split there. I had functional splitters before but this one is so much better quality. The shutoff valves on it are so easy to operate."
"Looking for a better garden hose really led me down a rabbit hole. . . This splitter is a heavy duty work of art well worth the price compared to every other splitter I found on the web or in a store. The fit and finish of their brass is excellent. The valves and hose connections feel so smooth and precise. The next door neighbor ordered one at first sight of mine! Love Eley hose too. There wasn't one "drinking water safe" hose at the stores that passed my smell test or looked worth buying, Flexzilla included. Please forgive me if I sound like a garden hose snob now."
