Hi,

Question as title : can anyone here tell me if you can get an equivalent of a 1-2-both switch for water hose ? If so then what are they called and where can you get them ?

Many thanks,

Boo2

Lidl regularly have a four port manifold that has standard hose fittings.

That would be a three-port ball valve with a "T" ball. ASAP do them, but given the prices they charge in diminutive fuel pipe sizes, I dread to think what it would be for typical hose. Perhaps someone does a cheaper plastic variant?

To make things a bit clearer, are you talking about garden hose with quick-release fittings, or tails and jubilee clips as for freshwater plumbing on board? If the latter, what size hose?

Simple Y piece and two ball valves is probably the cheapest way to go about it.

Yes, tails and clips, 19 or 25mm tbd.

Honeywell and others make these type of valves (actuators) for central heating systems (CH and HW) although the valves are mains switched.

As they are made in two parts (water valve and electric actuator), it might be worth while phoning Honeywell technical and asking if they have them with 12 or 24 volt operation? Usually they are 22mm pipe diameter.

You probably want one of these then: http://www.asap-supplies.com/marine/multiple-port-valves/nickel-plated-brass-t-port-valve-405524

Price not as fierce as I expected it to be, though it's still not buttons.

With hose tails from this page: http://www.asap-supplies.com/marine...-connections/hose-tail-straight-male-bspt-dzr , either part number 404645 for 19mm or 404647 for 25mm.

Assume you mean two feeds in one out - pretty standard things. Any decent chandler should stock them. See ASAP website for different sizes/materials. Usually have BSP ends then you fit hose barb tails to suit your pipework. No need for DZR for fresh water - brass will do. Can also get them from local plumber suppliers which might be cheaper.
