Yes. The internal valve is a ball that simply turns the flow of the water on or off, regardless of which direction it comes from. You can also set the ON/OFF lever at any position to adjust the flow of water from fully on, to fully off, or anywhere in-between.
No. The ELEY shut off 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 brass shut-off valve 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.

"After trying many hose shutoff valves, hand sprinklers, hoses, and quick-connect fittings, I can confidently say that Eley is in a class of its own. I spend hours each day watering large areas of moss, flowers, trees, shrubs, and other plantings. I use oscillating sprinklers where broad, even coverage is appropriate, but much of my property is a mixed planting environment in which neighboring plants have very different watering requirements. In those areas, hand watering gives me the precision and control needed to put the right amount of water exactly where it belongs without unnecessarily watering established trees, shrubs, or other nearby plants. When equipment is used for hours at a time, comfort, balance, dependable flow control, and easy connections become extremely important. Eley’s thoughtful design and ergonomics make watering noticeably easier, smoother, and more enjoyable than it was with less capable products. Every Eley product I have purchased has also been exceptionally well made and reliable in daily use. I expect the durability and long service life of Eley products to make them far more economical than repeatedly buying and replacing lesser-quality equipment. I have already replaced much of my watering equipment with Eley products and plan to choose Eley whenever they offer a product that meets my needs. I highly recommend Eley to anyone who values durable, comfortable, and precisely controlled watering equipment. Keep up the great work!"
