Garden-hose lengths and diameters

Measure the route from the tap to the area you need to water, including the path around corners and planting. Then check hose diameter and the fittings required by your chosen system. Conventional and expanding hoses may describe length differently, so establish whether a quoted length is the stored or extended figure. Hozelock lists connectors for specified hose diameters, illustrating why connector choice needs the hose specification rather than just a matching brand name.

MATCH THE DETAILS TO YOUR JOB

What to check before buying

  1. Check the stated hose diameter and whether it refers to the bore or another measurement in the specification.
  2. Compare usable length with your measured route; for expanding hoses, distinguish stored and operating lengths.
  3. Confirm which tap and hose-end fittings are included, and match their stated sizes to the existing system.
  4. Read the manufacturer’s pressure, temperature, storage and reel-compatibility requirements for the exact hose type.
