Gilmour 813742-1003 Thumb Control Garden Hose Nozzle

Product Description

The GILMOUR 813742-1003 is a thumb control cleaning nozzle designed for standard garden hose connections. Built from metal and plastic construction, this nozzle attaches to a 3/4 inch threaded hose end and provides hands-on flow control through a thumb-operated valve. The green housing measures 7.13 inches in height, 4.75 inches in width, and 1.38 inches in length, making it a compact tool suited for general cleaning tasks. Plumbers, irrigation techs, and general maintenance crews reach for this type of nozzle when a simple, direct-control water flow solution is needed on a standard residential or light commercial water supply line.

The 813742-1003 is intended for use with standard 3/4 inch garden hose fittings commonly found in residential and light commercial settings. Typical applications include exterior surface washing, equipment rinse-down, and general site cleanup. The thumb control design allows the operator to modulate flow without shutting off the upstream supply valve, which is useful in repetitive cleaning tasks where on-off cycling is frequent.

Installation Notes

Shut off the upstream water supply before removing an existing nozzle or fitting. Thread the 813742-1003 onto the hose end by hand first, then snug with pliers if needed — avoid over-tightening, which can crack plastic fittings. Inspect the hose washer before use to ensure a leak-free seal at the connection point.
