Gilmour 855052-1001 Crushproof Hose Nozzle 3/4 Inch

Product Description

The GILMOUR 855052-1001 is a crushproof hose nozzle designed for use with 3/4-inch garden hoses. Built from zinc construction, it is rated to handle up to 125 psi, making it suitable for demanding residential and light commercial watering tasks. The nozzle resists deformation under foot traffic, vehicle contact, or accidental impact — a common point of failure in standard plastic nozzles. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and general maintenance professionals install this type of fitting when durability and pressure tolerance are priorities over lightweight design.

This nozzle fits standard 3/4-inch hose connections and is appropriate for use in residential irrigation setups, commercial landscape maintenance, and general outdoor water supply applications. Its crushproof design makes it a practical choice in high-traffic areas such as loading docks, nurseries, or job sites where hose fittings are subject to rough handling. No special tooling is required for installation — it threads directly onto a compatible hose end.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools — hand-thread the nozzle onto a compatible 3/4-inch hose end and snug with pliers if needed to prevent leakage. Shut off the water supply at the source before removing any existing nozzle or fitting. Inspect the hose end threads for damage or debris before installing to ensure a leak-free connection. Follow applicable local plumbing codes when installing on any pressurized water supply line.
