Gilmour Flexogen Hose

Yes, the Flexogen is specifically engineered with an 8-ply construction that allows it to curve naturally. While no hose is completely immune to tangles, this design significantly reduces the likelihood of kinks compared to standard rubber or vinyl hoses.

At 20.5 pounds for the 100-foot length, it is designed to be lighter than traditional heavy-duty rubber hoses. The material is flexible enough to maneuver easily around landscaping and obstacles without feeling cumbersome.

The hose features reinforced, leak-resistant connections designed to maintain a tight seal. To ensure longevity, we recommend storing the hose out of direct sunlight when not in use to prevent the fittings from degrading over time.

While the hose is built to withstand seasonal changes, it is best practice to drain it and store it in a shed or garage during freezing temperatures. Leaving water inside during a freeze can cause the internal structure to expand and potentially crack.

This hose has a 0.75-inch diameter, which is wider than the standard 0.625-inch garden hose. This larger diameter allows for higher water flow volume, making it an excellent choice for tasks that require more pressure, such as washing cars or cleaning driveways.
