A hose assembly comprising: a flexible metal shell having a proximal end and a distal end; an inner hose disposed within the metal shell, the inner hose having a proximal end and a distal end; an inlet fitting connected to the proximal end of each of the metal shell and the inner hose, the inlet fitting configured for releasable connection to a water source; an outlet fitting connected to the distal end of each of the metal shell and the inner hose, the outlet fitting having an outlet stem connector; and at least one strain relief assembly disposed at least between the inlet fitting and the proximal ends of the metal shell and the inner hose, the strain relief assembly configured to change an angle of the metal shell and inner hose relative to the water source when the hose is pulled relative to the water source to minimize bending of the metal shell, wherein the at least one strain relief assembly comprises: a flexible tubing segment having a first end, a second end, and a diameter to produce an interference fit over an inlet stem connector extending from the inlet fitting at the first end; characterised by: a first cylindrical clip configured for securing the first end of the tubing segment to the inlet stem connector; a double-ended hose fitting having a first stem end and a second stem end, the first stem end configured to fit within the second end of the tubing segment to produce an interference fit over the first stem end; a second cylindrical clip configured for securing the second end of the tubing segment to the first stem end; and a third cylindrical clip configured for securing the proximal ends of the metal shell and the inner hose to the second stem end. a flexible metal shell having a proximal end and a distal end; an inner hose disposed within the metal shell, the inner hose having a proximal end and a distal end; an inlet fitting connected to the proximal end of each of the metal shell and the inner hose, the inlet fitting configured for releasable connection to a water source; an outlet fitting connected to the distal end of each of the metal shell and the inner hose, the outlet fitting having an outlet stem connector; and at least one strain relief assembly disposed at least between the inlet fitting and the proximal ends of the metal shell and the inner hose, the strain relief assembly configured to change an angle of the metal shell and inner hose relative to the water source when the hose is pulled relative to the water source to minimize bending of the metal shell, wherein the at least one strain relief assembly comprises: a flexible tubing segment having a first end, a second end, and a diameter to produce an interference fit over an inlet stem connector extending from the inlet fitting at the first end; characterised by: a first cylindrical clip configured for securing the first end of the tubing segment to the inlet stem connector; a double-ended hose fitting having a first stem end and a second stem end, the first stem end configured to fit within the second end of the tubing segment to produce an interference fit over the first stem end; a second cylindrical clip configured for securing the second end of the tubing segment to the first stem end; and a third cylindrical clip configured for securing the proximal ends of the metal shell and the inner hose to the second stem end. a first cylindrical clip configured for securing the first end of the tubing segment to the inlet stem connector; a double-ended hose fitting having a first stem end and a second stem end, the first stem end configured to fit within the second end of the tubing segment to produce an interference fit over the first stem end; a second cylindrical clip configured for securing the second end of the tubing segment to the first stem end; and a third cylindrical clip configured for securing the proximal ends of the metal shell and the inner hose to the second stem end.
