Yes it is. It will accept a standard hose. The inlets are also threaded with female NPT

I don't think so. There are hot/cold water supplies lines and that's all. Sorry

Yes. There's a valve stem centered on the bottom and covered by a cap. Precharge is 20lbs, I think, but for potable water system use, you'll need to add air up to your system pressure before installation. I used a little pancake compressor with some caution.

I assume it's safe. It looks to be made of PVC, the same type of material that water pipes are made of. It doesn't have a smell or taste.

This is designed for use with galvanized metal waterers, never use with plastic ones!!!

Yes it is for a water supply hose, but not for the high pressure discharge side.

Don't know about the BPA. Fittings are brass and seem very sturdy. It is approved for use with potable water.

I don't have any experience with Quest Pipe (polybutylene), however my quick research suggests that considering the number of failures, and a huge class action law suit, one should steer clear of polybutylene piping. Use Pex tubing with copper or brass fittings.

Yes, I currently use it in my garden. It is not lined with lead like other hoses, and it fits on the water spout. I personally feel more comfortable using this hose to water my plants. You are what you eat.

I use hoses to water horses and the arena. The hoses are heavy, non-kinkable rubber. I would have to say yes.

No, this is part number 1300 Lead Free is Simmons Part Number 1305 The other answers are misinformed. While it's correct that the water doesn't "pass through" the gauge the bottom of the brass fitting and the internals are pushed on by the water/air/gas. This is the section that contains lead in the 1300 which will leach into your drinking water or other substance. I have no idea if it is a significant or insignificant amount of leaching. I don't know why anyone would want to use a part containing lead for say potable water when a quick look shows the lead free part is about $1 more.

The polymer is basically a tough plastic instead of metal. This product doesn't claim to be NSF certified for potable water hoses. I don't know if the polymer contains chemicals that could leach out over time. I would recommend contacting the manufacturer if possible.

The tubing is not at all rigid. It is much more pliable than a typical hose.

Peter: As I am not a chemist and given the importance of what type of material potable water will be flowing through, I would strongly recommend contacting Gilmour directly. I am sure they would be more than willing to insure your drinking water safety by advising exactly what material the connectors are made of. I can tell you that I own a couple of pair of these fittings and they work flawlessly. I am using them on a 3/4" garden hose into a 3100 psi power washer and to which the added flow has made a significant performance difference. No issues what-so-ever.

the actual product website says it is NOT drinking water safe, this was the answer by the site moderator in the discussion forum: "no our hose is not drinking water safe (potable) Thanks."

Not sure if its code for pluming inside a home but yes its brass it should be safe for drinking water. But as always check with your local water department to make sure.
