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.

It's also in this brass hose splitter:

And it's in this long hose splitter which is of a completely different design.

Yet, it's not in this hose splitter:

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

Why?
