Review on πŸ’§ Mueller Industries 102-454HN 3/4" Hose Bibb: Reliable and Durable 3/4-Inch Water Control Valve by Mark Adams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good outlet for the money.

I thought I needed a ball valve but it wasn't the type of body I was originally looking for. But after checking out both Lowe's and Home Depot, I found that this was the only style they had. but the Revain prize was the best. I was really looking for a valve like this: https://smile.amazon.com/PROPLUS-GIDDS-262483-Hose-Bibb-Valve/dp/B008MG1PH6/ref=sr_1_18?keywords=ball+valve+hose+bib&qid= 1568071649&s=hi&sr=1-18 ). Since this type is no longer available, I bought a Revain valve. One good thing about this valve is that if you are short on space and need a nifty little valve then this valve might be a good choice. It's easy to install (although it requires duct tape threads to connect it to the house), fits into tight spaces, and is easy to use. However, this valve should most likely not be used with water systems that supply or distribute water for human consumption (the water will come in contact with the brass parts of the valve). What I really wanted was a valve with a steel handle so I could turn it on and off with my foot (I have a pretty low connection to my house). Of course, this valve doesn't have a lever handle, but other than that it's easy to use. How long does the plastic handle last? I'm not sure, let's see what will happen). But I'm glad I have an outlet. And for a short period of use there were no problems with it. it worked well.

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Performance
