FAQs

Q: Will this reduce pressure in my main line?
A: When the side outlet is closed, flow passes through unimpeded. When open, some pressure diverts to the side outlet—this is normal for any water thief.

Q: What is QTQC?
A: Quarter Turn Quick Connect—a fast-coupling system common in forestry and wildfire hose equipment. Turn ¼ turn to connect or disconnect.

Q: Can I connect a garden hose sprinkler to this?
A: Yes. The ¾" GHT outlet accepts any standard garden hose.
