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:

"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 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!"
"After years of frustrating leaks from the cheap plastic splitters you find at the big box stores, this brass 2-way splitter is a genuine upgrade. The quality is immediately obvious — solid brass construction, substantial feel in the hand, and individual shutoff valves that actually work. No leaking at the connections, no drips at the valves. It just does its job. For anyone running drip irrigation or managing multiple hose zones in the garden, this is the kind of hardware that earns its place and stays there season after season. Highly recommended."
"Excellent construction, solid. I appreciate the "fire hose" type valve levers. High-flo inside diameter of the water ways. Smooth operation of the ball valves. Excellent design for multiple applications. Eley makes quality fittings. I have 5 post mount hose reels and one 2 wheel hose reel carts. All are solid."
"What a world of difference quality makes. The weight of this item makes wonder if the the “brass” fixtures I’ve tried before were really brass. It’s completely drip free, and the threads work well with all the hoses I’ve tried. The on/off valves are super easy to operate even with hands full or gloves on. Highly recommended and worth the extra cost."
"Eley Products, bring a smile to my face, the quality is old style sturdy, great materials and packaged with precision. The performance is worth every cent and the manufacture is just beautiful. This is the type product you cherish purchasing."
"This is a very good product, especially strong and well built. That said when I uninstalled it last fall (to blow out an underground water line), I did so incorrectly and when I reinstalled this spring found I had last an internal ball that opens and closes the flow. I called Eley to see if I could buy another ball. They said they don't sell them and if I lost the ball I probably also lost an accompanying seal. SO THEY SENT ME A BRAND NEW HOSE SPLITTER, NO COST, POST PAID WITHOUT ME EVEN ASKING!!!! That is the highest level of customer service I could imagine. FANTASTIC ELEY!!"
"You get what you pay for - sure it is more expensive than the big box alternative- but after going through many when they start leaking it was time for a change. From unboxing to installing was a journey of pleasure knowing that this is what you wanted all along. Went on easy and works to perfection."
"Everything I’ve ordered from Eley is wonderful and the splitter is no exception. The precision workmanship and finish is wonderful. If I could give them 10 stars I would."
"Very heavy well constucted unit. Would recommend a short hose to bring the initial to the ground rather than adding all the weight to the hose bib. Works very well to allow on and off of each side."
