Pooly Made
These adapters are poorly made. They will leak and if you tighten it the threaded ring will pop off of the body. The lip on the body is very narrow which makes it easy to press fit the threaded ring onto the body, but it is too narrow to seal against the washer. I have tried 5 different types and brands of washers, from the cheap to the heavy duty and none seal enough to stop it from dripping or leaking a steady stream.
These are replacements for 2 (a different brand) I bought in the early 1990s, and 1 I bought two years ago. All three are the same, they will not seal and pop apart if they are tightened. I use these as adapters on 1/2" FPT water timers and a piped connection to sprinklers. It defeats the purpose of timers if I have to turn on and off the faucet by hand to stop water waste and mesquito breading puddles.
I understand no company wants to manufacture a product that will last 10 to 15 years anymore, but at least engineer it so we can get a few years use before it fails.These are made of PVC and ultraviolet light will weaken them over time. Eventually they will weaken to the point the threaded ring will just split, but this product is so poorly designed they do not work from the start.
I would not recommend these to anyone, they do not seal and waste water. I have used this product in the past and it was made different. The lip the washer seals against was wider and thicker. The one's I bought in the 1990s were constructed very different, heavy duty compare to these.
I have included a picture to show how they pop apart, as some reviewers believe it is not possible. Maybe they have an older version.

Response from OrbitIrrigationJan 27, 2016
SEF, thank you for the feedback. These adapters are made specifically for two uses - mist system setup and connecting PVC pipe to garden hoses - and are not designed for use directly attached to a timer. That said, the leaking issue is still definitely something that we prefer to identify and prevent whenever possible. Please contact our Support team at 1-800-488-6156, and we'd be happy to help in any way we can. Thanks!
