Dap 1256 Big Boss Xhose Pro Expandable Hose 5/8 in 50 Ft

Product Description

The DAP 1256 Big Boss XHose Pro is an expandable garden hose designed for residential and light commercial outdoor water applications. The hose automatically expands to full length when water pressure is applied and contracts back to a compact size when the water is off. It features a full 5/8 inch internal diameter for stronger water flow, thick exterior webbing for abrasion resistance, built-in stabilizer collars at each end, and crush-resistant brass fittings. The hose weighs 2.775 pounds, making it significantly lighter than standard rubber hoses. This product is not rated for potable or drinking water use.

The 1256 is suited for general outdoor watering tasks including landscape irrigation, garden bed watering, and equipment rinse-down where a lightweight, tangle-free hose is preferred. The expandable design reduces storage footprint and eliminates the kinking common with conventional hoses. Landscape maintenance crews, property managers, and general contractors performing site cleanup will find the 50-foot length adequate for most residential lot applications. Because it is not safe for drinking water, it should not be connected to any potable water point of use.

Key Features

• Expands to full 50-foot length under water pressure and retracts when pressure is released
• Full 5/8 inch diameter bore for higher flow rate compared to standard 1/2 inch hoses
• Crush-resistant brass fittings resist deformation during connection and disconnection
• Thick exterior webbing provides abrasion and UV protection over the inner tube
• Built-in stabilizer collars reinforce the hose-to-fitting transition points
• Kink-free construction eliminates flow interruptions during use

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/4 inch garden hose thread (GHT) outdoor spigots, spray nozzles, and irrigation accessories. Not suitable for potable water applications.

Installation Notes

Turn off the water supply completely before connecting or disconnecting the hose to avoid pressure surges that could damage fittings. Hand-tighten GHT fittings only — use of pipe wrenches or pliers can crack brass fittings. Do not leave the hose pressurized and exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods when not in use, as heat buildup can stress the inner tube. Drain and store the hose away from freezing temperatures to prevent damage to the inner liner and fittings.
