It is a flush valve and for a few other things like maybe something growing on a fence.
It gives you a little more flexibility.
The particular place this is at puts out only 6 gallons a minute and the combined system uses 3.6 gallons a minute total.
So I figured why not the valves instead of a plug cap or so forth.
This way a person can run a line to a fence and water that while they cut off one of the other lines.
This 1/2 barb valves are pretty cheap and they work good.

Besides I dont like the cheap #%$& things they sell where you bend the line back into its self.
