What is the Straight Shut-Off Valve made of?
The valve body is all brass, with a polished stainless-steel cross-drilled ball as the internal mechanism — this provides long-term corrosion resistance for outdoor use across multiple seasons.
AL220 - Straight Shut-Off Valve
Most control valves and faucets have internal mechanisms that substantially reduce water flow, even when they are completely open. They are also commonly difficult to operate.
This shut-off valve overcomes both problems. The internal mechanism is a cross-drilled ball that can be fully opened or fully closed in a quarter turn.
The polished stainless-steel ball in an all-brass body operates with a 3 1/2" long handle that is a breeze to turn. The oversized internal openings dramatically increase water flow compared with other in-line valves. It makes a wonderful in-line shut-off valve to let you control sprinklers without having to run back to the hose bib every time.
For cantankerous faucets, you can attach one directly, turn the faucet on full and then use the smoothly functioning ball valve for shut-off or general control the rest of the summer. The valve has standard male and female fittings.
An excellent valve at a remarkable price.

Most garden valves and faucets have internal passages that reduce flow even when fully open. This valve uses oversized internal openings to increase flow through the valve body, so the pressure at your sprinkler or nozzle is not significantly reduced.
Yes, attach the valve directly to the faucet, turn the faucet on full, then use the valve's easy quarter-turn handle for all flow control thereafter. This keeps the faucet in one position and lets the smooth-turning valve handle the work.
The valve has standard male and female garden hose fittings on both ends, making it compatible with North American garden hoses and faucet bibs without adapters.
Yes, it works well as an in-line shut-off between the hose bib and a sprinkler or soaker hose, letting you control flow at the device without returning to the faucet.
