How do you increase psi on a garden hose?
Your regulator will have an adjustment screw that can be adjusted to increase pressure with a clockwise turn of the main screw. It's usually a good idea to consult a plumber if you have to make a large adjustment to the water pressure coming into your home.
How much psi can a garden hose handle?
Garden hoses are manufactured to withstand a certain amount of pressure. The pressure at which they split is the burst pressure rating. A low-quality hose will burst at about 200 psi, and a high-quality hose can hold together up to 500 psi on some brands.
How do I choose a hose nozzle?
Seek out a nozzle made out of brass, zinc, or aluminum (in that order). These will be heavier than a plastic nozzle, but will last a much longer time. When testing a metal hose nozzle, look at the build quality. This can vary greatly depending on the brand.
How do you get a nozzle off a hose?
Buy a cheap torch, heat up the nozzle where it attaches to the hose. It should expand allowing you to twist off. Be careful of heating too much....don't want to melt hose etc. Have pliers handy for the twisting- 2 pairs, one for hose side, one for nozzle side.
Why does my hose connection leak?
If your hose is leaking from either of the fitting ends, you most likely have a bad gasket (or rubber washer) that is really easy to replace. In some cases, you may even be missing the gasket. Over time they can warp and fall out without you even noticing, so check to see if one is present.
