Beduan 3 Way Shut Off Ball Valve, 3/8" Hose Barb 2 Switch Brass Y Shaped Valve

So, had some kind of leak in our Sleep Number bed... could be the mattress or the pump box. Only way to find out was to isolate one from the other. I cut the air hose between the mattress & control box/pump and inserted this 3-way valve such that, with one port open I could air up the mattress using the pump, then shut off the hose going to the pump with the same port thereby isolating the box. The second port was used to isolate the mattress (i.e., opened it and the pump port to air up the mattress, then shut both ports). The third port was used as an "exhaust" valve to let air out of the mattress if/when it was over-inflated. This worked well; turned out the problem was in the pump/box. So, I just aired up the mattress to the desired firmness, shut off the two ports, and was all done (might mess with the pump/box later, but not really necessary). Obviously this disables the ability to adjust the firmness using the Sleep Number remote, but how often do you actually adjust the mattress anyway. If/when necessary, I can do it manually using the ports on this 3-way valve. Oh, and some folks complained about having difficulty getting a 3/8" hose onto this 3/8" valve... the secret is HEAT! I used a heat gun on low for 1-2 minutes (move the heat gun often & don't' over-heat the hose, it can melt); the hoses slipped right on, no problem, then used the provided clamps to ensure tight seals. Excellent product at a good price (saved me 100's of $ by not having to get the bed repaired or replaced).

All metal construction seems like a quality product. Ended up returning because did not fit project I needed for.

I recently purchased this brass shut-off valve kit, and overall, I'm quite satisfied with the quality of the components. The brass used in the construction is strong and thick, giving me confidence in its durability and longevity. The ball valves are easy to turn, allowing for smooth control of the flow. I also found the threads for the screw-on barbs to be of good quality, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection.Pros:Strong and thick brass constructionEasy-turn ball valvesGood quality threads for screw-on barbsCons:Purchased a 1/4" kit, but one barb was 1/2" (-1 star)The plastic container box was damagedWhile the kit is generally excellent, I did encounter a couple of issues. I ordered a 1/4" kit, but unfortunately, one of the barbs included was 1/2", which was a bit of an inconvenience. Additionally, the plastic container box arrived damaged. However, these issues aside, the core components of the shut-off valve are of high quality, and I would consider purchasing again.

In use about six months so far, to switch between two fuel filters next to marine engine. Works well

I work in a lab and this has improved my test productivity. I used them to split the vacuum pump for specific gravities using AASHTO T-100. I recommend this product!

works great on my small tractor spray bar, e z to turn one side off when just spraying off to one side.

The body does appear to be completely brass. However the valve ball itself is very poor quality steel of some sort. It corroded terribly with water. That being said, if you're using it with fuel, which seems to be the case with many other purchasers I'm sure is fine. I'm not a fan of the screw on barbs myself. I'd probably look for a solid valve if I did it again.

I needed this product to divert a drainage line, without removing the existing line. I was using this with standard clear vinyl tubing, and triple checked that the ID -inside dimension of the tubing, matched the OD - outer dimension of the valve ends and it all worked perfectly as planned. I used hose clamps to tighten down over the tubing and valve ends, once got them pushed on... and I must say, it is DIFFICULT to push the very snug tubing onto the valve end, but ultimately that's good because you want a tight connection - if the tubing is at all flexible, this fitting/valve should work well for your needs. I really like that it's solid cast brass and the valves are heavy duty and metal - it's maybe overkill for what I needed, but I didn't want to have to do this twice. The valve knobs are easy to turn and work very well. Great product!
