Would RecommendFit exactly and works as expected.
Garbage
Would Not RecommendComplete waster of taxpayer monies to mandate these. They are garbage and no one has even had an issue prior to these. Pay a plumber to cut this crap off and replace with OG equipment
Solid & durable. Easy to fit on hose end outdoors

It Works
Would RecommendThis worked the first time I installed it. I barely turned the set screw to make sure it didn't break off and only hand tightened it to the spigot. No leaks when using the garden hose at full pressure and no annoying back spray when turning the valve off.
Works as Advertized
Would RecommendExact match replacement, so swapping out was a breeze.

Installed at Camp
Would RecommendInstalled 2 of these. One on a freeze-proof hydrant, and one on a hose bibb for a camper water supply. After tightening, the set screw twists off, preventing removal.
Don’t believe same items are the same
Bought 3 pieces but only 2 fit. Returned the 2 that didn’t fit.

May work, but had very sharp male threads
Would Not RecommendThe two I purchased had very sharp male threads, which can cause small cuts on your hands when installing and removing the garden hose. They went right back to the store.
Homeowners should check for leaks
