Gilmour Flexogen Hose

The Flexogen is specifically engineered to be kink-resistant. Its 8-ply construction and double tire cord reinforcement help it maintain its shape and consistent water flow even when pulled around corners or obstacles.

While the hose is designed to remain flexible in cold weather and has a minimum operating temperature of 0 degrees Fahrenheit, it is still best practice to drain the hose and store it in a shed or garage during freezing temperatures to extend its lifespan.

Yes, the couplings are made from heavy-gauge, crush-resistant brass. They are designed to hold up to accidental impacts, such as being stepped on or driven over, ensuring a secure, leak-free connection over time.

At 18.5 pounds for the 100-foot length, this is a substantial, heavy-duty hose. While its weight reflects its durability and thick construction, it is designed to be flexible and manageable for most gardening and cleaning tasks.

This hose has a 3/4-inch diameter, which allows for a higher volume of water flow compared to standard 5/8-inch hoses. It is well-suited for demanding tasks like washing cars or watering large garden areas.
