General information on flexible garden hoses presented by our plumber in London

The most common type of hoses are the flexible garden ones and they are commonly required by clients to our local plumbersFlexible garden hoses in London are generally fabricated from a soft plastic or synthetic rubber, a lot of times being strengthened by an internal structure of fibers. Because of the materials which are used in manufacturing them, this type of hoses are flexible and present a smooth surface, being easily manipulated around trees, corners or other obstacles. They are also solid enough to resist being stepped on or scraped on stones without breaking or leaking.

Flexible garden hoses are connected by a male/female thread linking. Spigots (taps or faucets) usually have male connectors and the end of a hose presents a captive nut which connects into the threads. The specialized term used by plumbers in London for this type of connection is called a hose union.

Every male end of a common flexible garden hose in London can connect with the female connector on the other end of it, this way, enabling the connection of several garden hoses at each other’s ends in order to become longer.
