Gilmour 870501-1004 Soaker Hose 50 Ft 5/8 in Garden

Product Description

The GILMOUR 870501-1004 is a 50-foot garden soaker hose designed for slow, direct water delivery at the root zone of plants and garden beds. Built with a polyester and vinyl construction, it features a clog-resistant fabric cover that allows water to seep evenly along its full length. The hose measures 5/8 inch in diameter with 3/4-inch GHT threaded ends and handles a maximum working pressure of 60 psi. At 1.43 pounds, it is lightweight enough for seasonal repositioning. Irrigation professionals and knowledgeable DIYers install this hose as a low-pressure drip-style solution for consistent soil moisture without surface runoff or overhead spray.

This soaker hose is suited for residential garden applications including vegetable rows, flower beds, and established plantings. Its flexible profile allows it to snake through tightly spaced seedling rows or lay flat beneath mature plantings without disturbing roots. The 3/4-inch GHT thread connection is compatible with standard garden hose fittings and basic timer assemblies, making it straightforward to integrate into an existing outdoor water supply line. It is intended for low-pressure gravity-feed or regulated supply setups at or below the 60 psi working pressure rating.

Key Features

• Clog-resistant fabric cover for consistent water distribution along the full 50-foot length
• 5/8-inch hose diameter with 3/4-inch GHT threaded ends for standard hose bib connection
• Maximum working pressure rated at 60 psi
• Flexible polyester and vinyl construction allows routing through tight planting rows
• Lightweight at 1.43 pounds for easy seasonal storage and repositioning
• Black finish reduces algae growth and blends into mulched or bare-soil beds

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/4-inch GHT garden hose connections on residential outdoor spigots, hose bibs, and basic irrigation timers operating within the 60 psi maximum working pressure rating.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply before connecting or disconnecting the hose from any fitting. Hand-tighten GHT connections and use a rubber washer to prevent leaks — do not overtighten with tools. Operate at regulated low pressure, typically between 8 and 10 psi for optimal soaker performance, using an inline pressure regulator if supply pressure exceeds the recommended operating range. Flush the hose briefly before first use to clear any debris from the fabric cover.
