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.

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)
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:

"“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!”"
"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!"
"As usual for Eley products, a beautiful heavy brass casting. The "On-Off" loop levers work easily. If this does actually last the 10 year no-leak guarantee then this will be one of the best garden improvements ever."
"It will solve the problem I had with my other splitter because it is brass. I have not yet put it on my spigot as it is the last step of the project I purchased it for. The workmanship is excellent, heavy duty. Also the shipping quick and the customer service response was helpful and courteous."
"The Brass Garden Hose 2-Way Splitter is a very heavy duty and great product. I believe this will last many years with only replacing the washers. Not like the box stores where you throw them away year after year. Save yourself and buy the best."
"I love the 2 way splitter. I have contractors who can use water without interfering with what I use. I'm thinking about getting one for my front hose as well. The splitter allows me to also hook up a water scarecrow to keep stray cats off of my birdfeeder without impacting my watering needs. It is handier than I ever imagined."
"Excellent product from an excellent company. This is my second of these and the first is still going strong. You can find plenty of similar products at a fraction of the price, but I've yet to see any this good--and most have pitiful warranties and customer service. Eley does it right."
"I run an irrigation system for all our patio and garden plants. Seems like every spring it was time to replace the splitter again. So I did more research this year and discovered this Eley splitter. This is an awesome product! Heavy duty brass, easy to use valve handles (my wife especially likes them) and the connections did not leak. More expensive than big box store brands but I am confident in the quality and feel like this might be the last splitter I ever need to buy. Product came quickly and in great packaging. Super satisfied!"
