It looks like the shut-off valves would be in the way for some hose connectors. Are they as close against the connector points as they appear?

Unless you have really big hands, there is plenty of space to get things turned on and off.

No, I was concerned about the same thing. they jut out far enough that at least with the hoses we use, we have plenty of clearance. Our hoses sit pretty flush, though. You might get a little rubbing when you're turning the valves on & off if you're using a hose with a large lip.

I have a very stout lifetime guarantee female hose connector. The valve does overlap the female brass connector, but there is around 3/8 of an inch clearance.

Make sure you flip the valve to the hoses and remove them 1st I havent had any trouble with mine.

The connections are a bit loose; my suggestion would be to keep the heavy hose propped up by putting something under it. It seems to me the weight of the hose causes the ends to experience too much stress. Also, I try to minimize the slack by keeping the hose as short as possible. Don't extend it out unless you have to. Hope that helps.

Been using 5/8 connectors, but they are very hard to get into the hose. Been thinking of trying 1/2 to see if they work or are too loose.

my husband says the valve was included. if you're asking about the shut off valve, tho, that is another thing. says you would probably have to ask a plumber about that.

There is no truth to this unless the customer is routing the hose incorrectly. If you look at the unit you will see both hoses mount in the back of the unit, the farthest side from the hot engine.

Yes, they connect end to end just like a normal hose. It does decrease the water pressure more than hooking two normal hoses together.

Yes, as Jason said below. Just remember to shut off all four of the valves before disconnecting.

The valve on this tank is identical to a 20 lb propane tank typically used with gas grills - right hand thread. I think the other end of your connector hose would need to connect to a "POL fitting with a left hand thread".

As everyone is saying this is a nice set of hoses, the right angles keep it snug behind the machine from a recessed valve box. No protection so best practice is to shut off the valve each time that's why it's there .

I think they are supposed to be that way. I have used two of the faucets, and both are a little to the left of center.

No, it's a straight-through connection. I prefer the straight-through better though since the built-in shut-off versions restrict the water volume and pressure.

The faucet comes with 1/4" plastic supply lines that can connect directly to the shut off valves in the wall with the appropriate connectors. I was able to connect it right out of the box without having to purchase any extra parts. Don't tighten them too much, as they can leak. Trust me on that one.

No in my case the water connections are short. Extensions to the connectors are required.

Yes. You may need a coupler to connect different size hoses, which is what we did.

Oooops ! I answered too quickly. You will need to purchase the supply hoses to connect to the faucet handles and the supply shutoff valves..

Those are valve adapters, on side is for a thinner valve, the other for a thicker one. They should be fairly simple to connect, sorry I took so long to respond.
