  • What do you think the hole is for in the middle of this hose splitter?

    What do you think the hole is for in the middle of this hose splitter? <https://www.walmart.com/ip/Orbit-Brass-Hose-Y-for-Faucet-Watering-Shut-Off-Garden-Hose-Splitter-58249/199284331>

    That hole is in a bunch of different hose splitters - but not all of them. <https://www.homedepot.com/p/Morvat-Brass-Garden-Hose-Splitter-Heavy-Duty-2-Way-Hose-Connector-Fitting-MOR-BCONNECTOR-2-A/316286197>

    It's also in this brass hose splitter: <https://www.homedepot.com/p/Heavy-Duty-Brass-2-Way-Y-Valve-3-4-in-Garden-Hose-Splitter-with-Shutoff-2-Hose-Washers-and-Comfort-Grips-3-4-inch-2482/320876424>

    And it's in this long hose splitter which is of a completely different design. <https://www.homedepot.com/p/Morvat-Brass-Garden-Hose-Splitter-Heavy-Duty-4-Way-Hose-Connector-Fitting-MOR-BCONNECTOR-4-A/316480236>

    Yet, it's not in this hose splitter: <https://www.homedepot.com/p/Heavy-Duty-Brass-2-Way-Y-Valve-Connector-Hose-Splitter-without-Shutoff-2-Hose-Washer-3-4-inch-2499/320876511>

    It's even in the schematic diagrams, so it's intentional.
    But they never say what it's there for.

    Why?

    Why?

    The gusset adds some rigidity and may make the material flow better when casting.

    The hoes would most likely be just for hanging it

    Why?

    Tooling holes for secondary machining operations?
