This product is a valve that opens to the sides when there is no pressure left on the source side to keep the valves closed. I had a problem with hoses that lay in the sun and exploded from the pressure increase. To prevent this, this can be prevented if the pressure rises higher than the source pressure (if the faucet stays on and is controlled by a sprayer, as in our setup), as the sun will heat the water inside, relieving the pressure can be through the pages. The only downside to this setup, as mentioned, is that if you pull the spigot off (and the hose isn't open at the other end, ie when it's connected to a sprayer or valve) water can quickly spray out the sides and you get wet. This is due to the elasticity of the hose. It will be a lot more if you use heat shrink tubing. A higher minimum pressure for opening the valves would be ideal. But I'll fret a bit to prevent more bad tubing (and flooded patios).
