Orbit 58085N Hose Y with Shut-Off Instruction Manual

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Orbit 58085N Hose Y with Shut-Off. This device allows you to split a single outdoor faucet into two independent water sources, each with its own shut-off valve. This manual provides essential information for the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of your new hose Y to ensure long-lasting and efficient performance.

Safety Information

• Always ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks and water waste.
• Do not overtighten connections, as this can damage threads on the hose Y or your faucet.
• Turn off the main water supply to the faucet before installing or removing the hose Y.
• In freezing conditions, disconnect the hose Y and store it indoors to prevent damage from ice expansion.
• This product is designed for outdoor use with water only. Do not use with other liquids or for purposes other than its intended use.

Package Contents

Your Orbit 58085N package should contain the following:

• Orbit 58085N Hose Y with Shut-Off (Quantity as purchased, e.g., 5 units for a 5-pack)

Setup Instructions

1. Prepare the Faucet: Ensure your outdoor faucet (spigot) is clean and free of debris. Turn off the water supply to the faucet.
2. Attach the Hose Y: Screw the female connector of the Orbit 58085N Hose Y onto your outdoor faucet. Hand-tighten until snug. If a leak occurs, unscrew, apply PTFE (Teflon) tape to the faucet threads, and re-tighten. Do not use tools to overtighten, as this can strip threads or crack the plastic.
3. Connect Hoses: Attach your garden hoses to the two male outlets of the hose Y. Hand-tighten each hose connection. Ensure a rubber washer is present in each hose coupling for a watertight seal.
4. Test Connections: Slowly turn on the water supply to your faucet. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks occur, tighten the connection slightly or re-apply PTFE tape if necessary.

Operating Instructions

The Orbit 58085N Hose Y features two independent shut-off valves, allowing you to control water flow to each connected hose separately.

• Turning Water On: To open a valve, rotate the lever handle 90 degrees so it is aligned with the hose outlet.
• Turning Water Off: To close a valve, rotate the lever handle 90 degrees so it is perpendicular to the hose outlet.
• You can operate one valve independently while the other remains open or closed, providing flexible water management.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Periodically inspect the hose Y for dirt or mineral buildup, especially around the threads and inside the outlets. Clean with a soft brush and water if necessary.
• Leak Prevention: If leaks occur, check the rubber washers in your hoses and the connection to the faucet. Replace worn washers as needed. Applying PTFE (Teflon) tape to metal threads can also help create a better seal.
• Winterization: Before the first freeze, disconnect the Orbit 58085N Hose Y from the faucet and drain any remaining water. Store it indoors in a dry, protected area to prevent freezing and potential damage to the plastic components.
