Gilmour 869501-1001 Garden Hose 50 Ft 1/2 Inch Vinyl

Product Description

The GILMOUR 869501-1001 is a 50-foot vinyl garden hose designed for residential outdoor water delivery. At 1/2 inch inner diameter with 3/4-inch GHT threaded fittings, it connects directly to standard hose bibbs and spigots without adapters. The dual-layer encased fiber reinforcement adds structural integrity while keeping the overall weight manageable at 4.13 pounds. The hose is kink-resistant, which reduces flow interruptions during routine use. Installers and property maintenance professionals working on irrigation hookups, outdoor wash-down stations, or general water supply runs will find this hose straightforward to deploy and store.

This hose is suited for residential and light commercial outdoor applications where a lightweight, mid-length supply line is needed. Typical use cases include connecting to outdoor faucets for garden watering, equipment rinsing, or temporary water supply runs. The 50-foot length covers most standard residential lot layouts without requiring a hose extension coupler. Note that this hose is not rated for hot water delivery and is not intended for year-round all-season storage in freeze-prone environments.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply at the source before connecting or disconnecting the hose. Hand-tighten GHT fittings to seat the connection, then snug with pliers if needed — avoid over-tightening, which can crack the plastic collar or damage the rubber washer. Do not use this hose for hot water supply lines or in applications requiring pressure ratings beyond standard residential garden hose service. Drain and store the hose indoors during freezing temperatures to prevent damage to the vinyl jacket and fittings.
