I bought a Melnor 346 metal 2-way hose connector
which I consider to be a shut-off valve so I
wouldn't have to use the old fashioned valve on
our 40+ year old house anymore.
This is an infinitely better design than a similar
product I bought at Home Depot.
I noticed mine at a Target store by accident while
looking for a replacement hose with my GF.
It cost approx $8 and this thing is so well designed
that I bought the entire Target inventory of 6 valves
to give to friends as gifts.
I knew as soon as I picked it up, that I would be
replacing the valve I bought a month before, when I
got home.
We have a garden and birdbaths, so I use the outside
hose a lot and I wanted something that would go
from completely open to completely shut in one turn
of my wrist and this device does that and more.

I am changing the focus of this group above to people
who want back-yard bird feeding tips, since no other
group is doing that.
