Tools and Hardware Reviews of Orbit 62018 Lawn & Garden Mechanical Hose Faucet Timer
Customer Review: my first 1-star review. Unusable as a water shutoff!
Summary: 1 Stars
I've never given a 1-star review, but this thing just does not work properly. The problem is a really dumb one - the hose connector (female threads) doesn't hold properly. The result is that it pops off the hose, and water then runs freely. Making it worse, it held fine as long as the timer was "on," but when the timer shut off, the increased water pressure popped it off. Fortunately, I was just using it to trickle water, so not a disaster.
The reason it doesn't hold is that someone was trying to save 2 cents worth of plastic. It only has 2 threads (the spirally thingies that go around inside). Minimum number is 3 threads, and to make something leakproof you need 4. The male end (on bottom in the Amazon picture) has 5.
I don't know why everyone else isn't reporting this problem. Perhaps they changed the design. Perhaps other people connect at the faucet rather than at the hose, and for some reason it holds better there.
