Hoses and Nozzles

American built, polyurethane garden hoses are available from Water Right. Both their standard and coil hoses have been durable in my experience:
  • 600 Series hose is straight with a 5/8 diameter inside
  • Professional Coil Hose Series has a 3/8 diameter inside
When unpacking a new hose, take care to avoid losing the included rubber gasket seals.

A fire hose style of nozzle such as this Craftsman model is great for medium to high pressure uses, though not suitable for watering delicate seedlings.

When connecting a hose to a hose bib, slowly tighten to stop leaks, but avoid damaging the host gasket by over tightening. Same for affixing a nozzle to hose. If, despite this effort, water leaks from the threads, wrapping Teflon plumber's tape (PTFE tape) clockwise around threads may help.
