I have purchased several of the FJC 6088 valve and hose combinations over the years and have found them to be excellent, so am sad to report that FJC has changed this product and it is no longer the great combination it used to be. Instead of a separate 12" hose with two female ends and one valve with two male ends that are then threaded together, the new item is all one piece making it much less versatile and useful since it can only be used as one piece instead of being dismantled and used in other configurations. The picture showing two pieces threaded together is incorrect. You now get one piece with the hose permanently attached to the valve. If you want the versatility that FJC 6088 used to provide you now have to buy your hoses and shutoff valves separately which I did after returning this incorrectly described item.
