Would someone kindly explain why this Orbit with a brass connector gets lower ratings than what looks to be the same timer with a plastic connector?

I personally prefer brass connectors, plastic have the potential to crack or ruin the connecting threads if they are not properly aligned; my personal experience.

Can this be set for any day of the week, ie, every 4, 5, 6 or 7 days? My DIG, cannot. It jumps from day 4 to 7.

The frequency is set by the number of days...so 1 is every day, 2 is every two days, and so on. You can also set every 6 hours or 12 hours. And you have start times as well.

how often do I need to replace batteries?

I set my system to water for about 20 minutes every morning, as our climate is pretty dry. Batteries normally last the whole season, (roughly 4 months) but this year they only lasted about 2 to 2 1/2 months. You need to pay attention because, of course, lack of water can kill flowers.

Hi, Could you please let me know what size are the threads of the ends of the timer? Thank you.

Yes, The timer has 3/4 inch hose thread. If you were going to use it on the end of a pipe, there are adapters to get from hose to pipe and vice versa. As far as I know, Orbit does not have the adapters, but Home Depot, Lowes or most any hardware store sells them.
