A hose is a hollow tube designed to carry fluids from one location to another. Hoses are also sometimes called pipes (the word pipe usually refers to a rigid tube, whereas a hose is usually a flexible one), or more generally tubing. The shape of a hose is usually cylindrical (having a circular cross section).

Hose design is based on a combination of application and performance. Common factors are Size, Pressure Rating, Weight, Length, Straight hose or Coilhose and Chemical Compatabiltiy.

Hoses are made from one or a combination of many different materials. Applications mostly use nylon, polyurethane, polyethylene, PVC, or synthetic or natural rubbers, based on the environment and pressure rating needed. In recent years, hoses can also be manufactured from special grades of polyethylene (LDPE and especially LLDPE). Other hose materials include PTFE (Teflon), stainless steel and other metals.

How do I fix my garden hose reel?
Q. I have a crank garden hose reel. Whenever I turn on the water, the hose that is connected to the case becomes disconnected.

A. Are you talking about the short hose that goes from the reel to the faucet? If so, then the problem might be with the connector. The threads on it might be stripped or worn and won't make a good connection anymore. Solution: replace the connector.

Q. The container won't fit in to my small sink so I need to either fill it by using a small water container each time, or I could attach a hose. Does anyone have any bright ideas about how I could go about this?

How do you solder a hose bibb to a pipe?
Q. My hose bibb in the backyard has a huge crack and was causing water to flood the backyard. I went to lowes and bought a new hose bibb. I took a saw and cut off the old one from the pipe coming out of the wall. I then took like plumbers cement or some kind of cement in a jar and cemented it together, I waited 2 hours and I just turned the water back on, it is not leaking in 3 different spots. Do you know if I am supposed to solder it together? how to I do that? and is it safe with the cement because the cement is flammable? I have a torch can I jsut heat the pipe and the hose bibb until they are joined together? Thank you for any help! It is leaking in 3 spots a lot.

A. Man, I hate soldering copper pipe. Its always such a pain in the a.. But hey, its gotta get done. Ok, a couple things you'll need: New hose bib Pipe if need be, connectors, etc... Soldering torch (get the kit from Lowes for 20$) Solder, comes with the kit Flux, also with the kit Emory cloth, small wire brush for inside and outside both pipes Hack saw or pipe cutter if you have to make any cuts to pieces of pipe you bought. Ok, first thing... Cut the pipe off as close as you can to the bib thats glued up and toss it. Next, the pipe coming out, you have to sand it down so as to get a nice shiny surface, use the emery cloth first then the wire brush last. Do the same with the insides and outsides of any pieces that will be mated up… [cont.]
