Homewerks 3/4 in. FIP X 3/4 in. MHT Brass Garden Valve Inverted Nose Designed for dependable outdoor irrigation with a compact, brass construction, this Homewerks garden valve pairs a 3/4-inch Female Iron Pipe (FIP) inlet with a 3/4-inch Male Hose Thread (MHT) outlet. The inverted nose design keeps the valve body neatly tucked in tight spaces, while the multiturn wheel handle delivers precise shutoff control—perfect for fine-tuning water flow in non-potable applications.

What makes it stand out
Durable brass construction resists outdoor wear and corrosion, making this valve a reliable choice for garden beds, irrigation loops, and hose connections. The inverted nose form factor creates a compact profile that reduces snagging and allows easier access in cramped spaces behind planters or along fence lines. With a multiturn wheel, you gain fine-tuned control over shutoff, which is especially helpful for seasonal irrigation schedules or when balancing multiple zones in a yard.
Ideal applications
- Outdoor irrigation lines where a 3/4" connection is required
- Garden hose assemblies that use MHT fittings on the outlet
- Non-potable watering setups, rain barrels, or landscape irrigation circuits
- Temporary or permanent valve control where space is limited
installation and compatibility
Connect the 3/4" FIP inlet to compatible plumbing with female iron pipe threads, then attach standard garden hoses or hose-adapter fittings to the 3/4" MHT outlet. Note that this valve is not frost-proof and does not include anti-siphon protection, so it’s best suited for above-ground installations in climates where freezing is unlikely and backflow prevention is managed separately. Because the valve uses leaded brass, verify local plumbing codes and usage requirements for potable water systems.
Practical tips
- Use the multiturn wheel for precise shutoff, especially when balancing multiple irrigation zones.
- Inspect connections for leaks after installation and periodically during heavy use seasons.
- If mounting in a tight location, the inverted nose design helps keep the valve footprint compact.
- Store and service according to local weather conditions; this valve is not frost-proof, so winter protection is recommended in colder climates.
