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.

"Great craftsmanship. Works as advertised with no leaks. The only reason for 4 stars is that for the price, the manufacturer should have provided extra O rings and tube of lubricant."
"Solid brass except for the plastic lever, that moves effortlessly. Wish I’d made this change years ago. More expensive than other coupling devices, but a worthy upgrade."
"The only hose reals on my property are Eley reals. One at our barn, one at our house and one 175ft extension real. After years of the box store junk I am so happy I finally found these top quality reals."
"I have no doubt that this shutoff valve will last a lifetime! The precision fit, the use of brass, and the ability to service the valve (on the odd chance that there is an issue), make this an excellent long-term investment!"
"I have one of these at the end of every hose in my yard a crucial element hauling a sprinkler head a long distance from the spigot. Like all Eley products, it is extremely durable and ergonomically comfortable."
"I own about 10units, some several years old. All are still leakproof. Love how easy it is to adjust volume with your thumb holding the unit, not the other hand. Solid high-quality brass with perfect machine work. Most competitors stop the flow down to about 1/4 inch which is unacceptable. Will never buy another brand of cutoff valve."
"Very well made and functional. Outperforms other similar products and the solid brass is also beautiful to look at!"
"This is a high quality item that is well worth the money. Works fantastic."
"Very high quality design and materials! Customer service is second to none! Thank you!"
"My compliments to ELEY who make extremely high quality products. Not cheap, but great value"
