Will Pocket Hose Work With Backflow Preventers or Y-Splitters?Updated 4 hours ago

  • Yes, Pocket Hose is fully compatible with both backflow preventers and Y-splitters.

Pocket Hose connects easily to standard backflow preventers and Y-splitters because it uses a universal ¾-inch fitting, which is the same size used on U.S. outdoor spigots and garden accessories. 

Pocket Hose’s anti-kink design keeps a steady flow even when connected to a Y-splitter. Simply attach the Pocket Pivot connector or hose end directly to the device and tighten securely.

Both backflow preventers and Y-splitters help control water flow, and Pocket Hose’s lightweight build maintains reliable pressure even when split between multiple zones. Its durable, anti-burst construction also holds up well when working with added attachments or higher water pressures.

For best results, ensure washers are sealed correctly to prevent leaks and use the Easy On/Off valve when switching between outlets.

Key Takeaways

  • Universal ¾-inch fitting provides full compatibility

  • Works with pressure-regulating devices without kinking

  • Ideal for multi-zone watering with Y-splitters
