Default Hozelock Garden Hose ........

How small radius can I bend it?

It will be permanently fixed, but there will be tight bends in it.

Be aware that the connectors can and do come off. If this happens
unobserved the if you are on a water meter! Oh dear, very dear!


That is what I am afraid of. However both ends would be very visible and
any blow off would soon be seen. It's just that I don't want any!!!!

Then you are misusing the hose and nothing would be a hundred percent.
Why do you not plumb a ridged run where it is fixed and tightly bendy using
the blue stuff with the chunky black connectors.
It is frost resistant as well. End it with a tap for security then do the
Tricoflex hosey bit.
We have hundreds of yards of the stuff here (Alkathene?)
