DGZZI Barbed Ball Valve 4PCS 1/4-Inch ID in-Line Ball Valves Shut-Off Switch Hose Barb Connectors for Drip Irrigation and Aquariums

Works great easy to use

Almost like the Briggs and Stratton fuel cutoff on my lawn tractor.I ordered four, and one did not work. No flow at all. Turned out the hole at one end was never drilled so the flow stopped at the chamber. I drilled from the nipple into the chamber after removing the cap, and fixed that one. Make sure yours are flowing properly before putting into service. Other than that, seems a well built cutoff valve.

I had trouble sliding 1/4” irrigation tubing on these. They have two barbs on each tube, but could only get my tubing over the first one. They seem to hold.They are a nice size and have an oversized tap handle that makes adjusting them easy.UPDATE. I live in Southern Arizona. It gets very hot. When I attached these in five locations the 1/4” tubing was warm but I still could not slip it beyond the first of the two barbs on the input and output tubes. So I left it just covering the first barb as is the case for all other irrigation fittings like this. That was a (my) mistake. Two of the five valves I used have in two months worked their way to separate from the irrigation tubing and water jets/pot flooding/dead plants resulted.Be aware you need to slip the irrigation tubing over both barbs for a reliable outcome. Try as I might, I could not do that so I am forced to replace them with alternate valves that I can attach.

Super Happy. As Soon as installed they are used everyday in my business 8 hours a day. They work just as advertised.

The barbs on these are larger than typical 1/4" drip irrigation tubing. Had to use a heat gun to soften the tubing, and even then it was a struggle to push it on this valve. These are probably made for 1/4" vinyl or rubber aquarium tubing.

great buy

I like them they turn fairly easy.
