I have a really odd quick connect valve (brass) for our sprinkler system. Since we just moved into this house, I don't know who installed this valve. I called all kinds of sprinkler system store to find this valve. Also, tried local hardware stores like home depot. I think the valve is worn out, since I am not able to connect the male end of the hose, it keeps slipping out (it will not stay connected). The other problem is even if it worked, it's a real problem, since I want to connect a splitter, so I can have a garden house connected at the same time. So What I am hoping to do un solder the old faulty valve and solder a Tee and install one regular garden hose valve and one quick connect value. (p.s. the male end of the hose is about 3/4" OD, the actual hose is labeled as a 1" od x
3/4" ID Transparent hose). I have seen quick connect before, but they are usually plastic and smaller. Any idea where I can find such a quick connect valve or any other solutions? I have a link of my valve and hose as jpg. Thanks.- posted
