The valve I use is just a solid brass ball valve. I don't have fitting issues with the ones I have. It is the perfect tool for the job frankly.

What is the trouble with the fit? Mine fits. It is a small connector, I had to add some plumbers tape to the connection to keep it from leaking but it works great now!

For some reason I can't find a 3/4 PT to 3/4 GHT that fits. I don't want to have to use plumbers tape so it doesn't leak.

Bonhe! I also use the same watering can from Lee Valley. However I only use it with water that I get from my RO/DI filter (for my cacao trees). I would be worried with our very hard water that the rosette would always be clogging.

It is better late than never, Bonsai Nut! 
I have been using it daily for 5 years and have not had any problem ( knock on wood). However, my garden water has been treated with Home Filtration system which use active charcoal base.

Not to dredge up an old thread, but I cannot for the life of me find that round rose. Where did you get yours, if I may ask?I haven't posted here for a while
Because my busy working schedule, I have to find a way to reduce the watering time as much as I could, but not jeopardize the tree. Then I use that spared time for other work on my trees.
I have been used water wand for few years. I bought the cheap water wands at regular stores such as Wal - Mart, Home Depot almost every year! Recently, I decided to find the one which could last for year. Finally I found the Haws brass water wand (pic. 1). Its cost is about four times of regular water wand bought in the past, but in the long run, it could save money and time for me. I got this one with very good deal (almost half of list price with free shipping!). This wand comes with the oval brass rose (pic.2) which I don't like because it wastes the water in my situation. Because of it, I ordered the round brass rose (pic.3) which is perfect. Now with this kind of set up, I use it just as I use Haws water can. Anyway, I'm one of the Haws watering can fans.

Hey there! Do you use the oval rose, or the round that bonhe uses? I cannot for the life of me find the round rose spout on its own, and I have a feeling the oval will just overspray a ton of water.Bonhe! I also use the same watering can from Lee Valley. However I only use it with water that I get from my RO/DI filter (for my cacao trees). I would be worried with our very hard water that the rosette would always be clogging.

The best watering nozzle (the wands SUCK) I've found over the years. I've gone through brass wands, plastic ones, bonsai nozzles from Japan, etc.
This thing has been more durable and useful than any of those...

I use the oval. It is really fine. You can control the flow by how much pressure you create (ie how much you tilt the can) but it isn't what I would call an "accurate" watering device. I would not, for example, use it indoors on any pot less than about 12" diameter.

So, the round rose they sell is only nonthreaded and a different size. Doesn't work on the lance. I just spoke with someone there on the phone.
The annoying thing is, they sell the lance (though, for $15 more) with a round rose, but I have an Amazon Gift Card I want to use.

Oh, wait, I think we're talking about different items. Bonhe's was the lance that attaches to a hose. This guy.

Thanks for the insight, though. I imagine they're pretty similar in their output.
I have been using this haws lance setup since @bonhe recommended it. It’s great! Had a heck of a time finding the smaller rose though. I purchased mine from here: https://www.hawswateringcans.com/roses.asp . The one you are referring to is a 26:J:321-3S. It’s no longer listed, but maybe give them a call?

DRAMM makes a 16 and 30 inch with a selectable output. They have a Lifetime Warranty, and they are prompt if you need to use it. I have slowly gone to all DRAMM products except the Watering Can(s) which are Haws or lighter plastics from AGWAY
DRAMM https://rainwand.com/model/16-kaleidoscope-rain-wand/ are found on Amazon too - good stuff and a wide variety of products.
