Talk:Garden hose

message: I live in the southern US and have yet to hear the term "hosepipe", in fact I have not seen it anywhere else but here. Can someone please find a reference to this somewhere? Zchris87v 22:21, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The line A hosepipe is actually different from a garden hose, as it is used for irrigation of crops and does not directly attach to the spicket is somewhere between vandalism and truth.  I think this person may use "hosepipe" to mean a soaker hose.Mustang6172 (talk) 05:02, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Hosepipe?

message: This article needs close-up pictures of the connectors at each end of the hose, and of the sealing washer ring gasket. It could also use a picture of a typical garden hose in typical use, as opposed to perfectly coiled in a tight spiral pattern. -76.179.151.154 (talk) 20:22, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I've set up a Gallery with more pictures. A quick search of Wikipedia Commons didn't turn up anything showing the hose gaskets, so I posted an image request. Reify-tech (talk) 18:09, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

message: What standards apply, in various parts of the world, to hoses tested-certified as appropriate and safe (non-toxic) for drinking water, cold and hot? -76.179.151.154 (talk) 20:26, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Drinking water standards 

message: The article should mention that garden hoses are stressed by being subjected to full water pressure. When the water is flowing freely, hose stress is low and leaks unlikely. When a spray nozzle or other attachment is used to impede or completely block the flow, pressure in the hose increases and leaks may occur. -76.179.151.154 (talk) 20:31, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Surely it shouldn't be hard to find references for this page? -- Resuna (talk) 09:16, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: You're invited to help find some.  Also, there are de facto standards that don't seem to be formalized, such as for the quick-connect hose fittings.  Reify-tech (talk) 18:09, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I know the quick connects from Gardena and Hozelock are compatible, but I see other standards (Dramm, Orbit) which have the O-ring on the female not the male side. It would be really useful to have a way to summarise this. Dan88888 (talk) 09:28, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  References 

message: * Garden hose diameter refers to the inside diameter of the hose, not the diameter of the hardware on the end of the hose.
Please add a table of dimension factoids for the hoses themselves: the range of typical actual measurements I.D. and O.D. for 1/2", 5/8", and 3/4" hoses.-71.174.185.30 (talk) 02:50, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  hose dimensions I.D. and O.D. needed 

message: According to another wikipedia page (Hose coupling; which also happens to be listed under See Also on this page) the origin of the widely-used international standard for quick connectors was Hozelock in the UK in the 1950s and Gardena seems to be a US brand/company that makes/supplies this style of fitting for US thread sizes. The tone of this page suggests that Gardena is the standard that is copied elsewhere. Perhaps someone who knows can clarify this and adjust both pages to concur?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MainsWest (talk • contribs) 00:15, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

message: There is little written about the history of the development of the hosepipe, but it is known that hosepipes were used on wooden sailing ships in the 18th Century, viz. the sea shanty ‘What shall we do with the drunken sailor?’ (‘Put him in the scuppers with the hosepipe on him’). What were these hosepipes made of? Not rubber; leather perhaps.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.143.213.190 (talk) 21:13, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
