Product description

The strongest, lightest hose in its class, Flexogen delivers superior all‑around performance for your lawn, garden, deck and driveway. Count on a Flexogen garden hose to curve without kinking, connect without leaking and hold up season upon season.

Exceptionally strong, durable, flexible, and lightweight, this Flexogen hose is built to last. Designed to withstand 500 PSI water pressure without bursting, its double-layer, polyester, cord-reinforced construction provides outstanding strength and endurance. A special sealed compound--flexible even in the harshest cold weather--coats and protects the hose from rain, snow, mildew, cuts, and abrasions. The Flow Guard Plus collar keeps the hose extended and kink-free, so no matter how much you tug and stretch it, water flow is never interrupted. An O-ring seal prevents leaks, and crush-resistant, brass couplings keep their shape impeccably even after years of use. The hose also winds and stows easily. It even floats for trouble-free retrieval from pool or pond.

User questions & answers

Question:	i need a 8' waterhose
Answer:	It's just a garden hose for petes' sake. It's made of rubber. Go back to school.
Question:	What is difference between flexogen 10 series and 20 series
Answer:	All mine have have been green though with newer hoses I would expect the color to be listed as some of the pictures are black.
Question:	What color is the hose
Answer:	I just went out and measured. It seems to be 3/4" ID. The nice thing about this hose is that it does not crush under normal circumstances. It is quite tough to compress between your thumb and fingers. As for kinking, it resists it quite well. Of course if you try it will kink. When I drag it normally from being rolled up out to its length, I have had no problems. Wait for a couple of years and I can tell you for sure.fch
Question:	Is it heavy
Answer:	The hose we received is black. We did not select a color or have a choice. I prefer black because a green lifetime hose acquires black mildew and yuck on the outside that is unsightly.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this hose
Answer:	Is the Inside diameter of this hose 3/4" or 5/8"
Question:	Is this hose uv resistant
Answer:	Absolutely...the best hoses I have ever owned. Lifetime guarantee.... Own 3....one is 7 years old....just gets better with age!! UV resistance ....Have seen no sign of oxidation in or degredation on outside of the rubber ...the primary thing the hose is made of.
Question:	Is this hose hard to coil? Can it be used on a reel without struggling to roll it out and back
Answer:	Unless it is 80 degrees and the hose is in the direct sunlight... this thing is like spring steel! This hose is so stiff if its cold out, it could snap back and break a leg! I am not sure you could actually coil it on the inside of a hose reel. My hose is in the shed most of the year.
Question:	Does this 3/4 inch hose require the use of a brass fitting from the spigot that screws in at 5/8 inch and which then screws into the hose at 3/4/ inch
Answer:	When you see garden hoses \ dimensions like 5/8, 3/4 etc, that ALWAYS refers to the inside diameter of the hose itself. ALL threads for fittings on garden hoses are standard regardless of the hose size/diameter. Garden hose threaded connection fitting standard is defined by ANSI-ASME B1.20.7, [ "Hose Coupling Screw Threads (Inch)"] which is 1 1⁄16 inches (27 mm) diameter straight (non-tapered) thread with a pitch of 11.5 threads per inch (TPI). (ASME) = American Society of Mechanical Engineers. (ANSI) = American National Standards Institute.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are the fittings lead free
Answer:	It's Vinyl and nylon cord, so it has to be leadfree. I do not believe they sell any hoses today that contain lead.I bought this hose because it is a full three-quarter inch inside diameter which lets me fill my hundred gallon horse trough in less than 10 minutes.
Question:	can you this hose for potable water lets for RVs
Answer:	Yes, the inner bore of the fittings is nearly 3/4"
Question:	I searched for a rubber hose and this came up. I can't see anywhere where it says it's rubber. Is it rubber or not
Answer:	This is a very well built hose. I have never used it as a suction hose but unless you are sucking a large vacuum, in my opinion, I would think it would not collapse. Hope this helps....
Question:	How hot of water can I run through this Hose
Answer:	This hose should work fine to connect your pressure washer to your water supply, provided your water supply is itself under enough pressure to keep the hose from collapsing and to avoid starving the pressure washer. My house water system delivers 35 psi at the pressure washer inlet. For the pressure washer discharge, this hose will not work. You would need a special high pressure hose meeting the discharge pressure specification for your particular pressure washer system.

Question:	Why do they call this a farm hose? Was the difference from a regular garden hose
Answer:	I'm sorry, but I don't understand your question. Could you redefine? I do love this bra. It fits so beautifully but the straps keep falling down my shoulders.

User questions & answers

Question:	there are answers already to the question "what color is this" but the answers do not match the image and they are not recent answers from
Answer:	The couplings do appear to be solid brass. The packaging on the hose also indicated the couplings are made of brass.
Question:	what color is the hose
Answer:	This hose IS grey. I like mine!
Question:	can you tell me what temperature this hose will still work at? ie minus what degree
Answer:	It has a 1/4" MIP end and is made for 3/8" hose
Question:	is it easy to move
Answer:	I replaced the hoses on both of my Harbor Freight hose reals with the 50ft Flexzilla hoses. I recall I needed to think through how I threaded it through the real and whether or not I wanted to reuse the original spring-like hose guard from the hose real hose. It's worked well and I would highly recommend it. I think these ends are the same as those on the 50' hose. If I get a chance I can try to post a photo.

User questions & answers

Question:

Is this a magical hose? the description says it is "manufactured in china" and also "made in usa

Answer:

I have no idea where it was actually manufactured. Most likely parts were made in one place and it was assembled in another. As to the "magic hose," I've never seen one that lives up to the "won't kink" promise but this one is as close as any I've owned. I live in SoCal which means it's never tested by freezing weather but in temps sixty degrees or higher it remains very pliable and I can generally "unkink" it from wherever I happen to be without having to walk 75' back to the problem. All things considered I'd have to tare it a solid thumbs-up and say that I'd buy another if needed. Finally, I want to add that it's VERY important to use plumber's tape around the hose bibb because I did have a problem with the two different types of metals in the bibb and the hose basically welding themselves together so that even my handyman couldn't unscrew it when he was here for other jobs. In the past I've had the identical problem with other hoses both at the bibb AND with the the male end of the hose when attached to a metal nozzle for an extended period of time. I'm told that happens because the source of our water is heavily laden with minerals that interact with the different metals and tape is a lot less expensive than another hose! Hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	In the pictures it looks like both ends have female fittings. If I plan to put two together will I have to buy couplings
Answer:	Lowe's
Question:	Will hard well water affect the seeping allowance? We have rust and calcium in our well water outside
Answer:	I doubt it my experience is when not in use pressure will blow out hose
Question:	For replacing ends, which does this hose take...one half inch or five eights inch fittings
Answer:	In the description under notice (above warranty info) it states “2. Don’t recommend to use the expandable water hose on garden hose reel.” I wouldn’t think any expandable hoses would be great on the reels but I’m sure you “COULD” use it. They are designed to be so compact though that you don’t need it. It can go in a bag, a basket or a little pile.
Question:	Can this hose connect to a standard water hook up on a house
Answer:	Mine sprays below connector. So disappointed. Love the hose except for the break down at connectors. One guy said they replaced his. According to comments, they need to replace many. Too expensive to break in less than a year. I ordered it June 30... just past one year.
