NWI INGO General Post part 16

Ace Hardware -- grab one of the brass nozzles that you twist. Those trigger sprayers are garbage.

Do they adjust down gentle enough to water plants?

 

[aclark]

Was right in the middle of hosing down the garbage cans and the hose nozzle broke. Second one this season. Anybody have any recommendations for where to get some decent ones that won't break the bank?

Got a 2 pack from Costco this year that are holding up well.

 

[Snapdragon]

OK, so I got some nice metal nozzles that are better than the plastic crap I had. New issue. Hose is now leaking from here.



Maybe I screwed the nozzle on too tight? Can this be fixed or am I 'hosed'?

 

[actaeon277]

Sure it's not leaking from the threads? Is the gasket in the nozzle end of that connection?

 

[Snapdragon]

There is a gasket and water does not seem to be leaking from the threads. My thought is that it's an old hose and that weld or whatever might be weak and I twisted the nozzle on too hard?

Thought about trying FlexTape or something, but that stuff probably costs as much as a new hose.

They make hose repair ends of various types.

 

[Snapdragon]

Double-checked and definitely coming from that joint and not the threads. I'll check on a repair kit, thanks, Tom.

 

[actaeon277]

The repair, depends on the hose. If you have a good, expensive hose, then repair may make sense.
If it's a cheap hose, may be better to toss.

It's an old, medium-duty hose that I can probably replace for $20 or $25. Will probably do that since repair kits are $10-15.

One end at Menard's is under $3. I have gone to the cloth cover $20, 50' hoses like they advertise on TV. the last a couple of years and are much more manageable.

Weather is acting nice out, I think it's plotting

 

[Snapdragon]

Since I leave this hose on all the time, I am not sure that the end kit can withstand the pressure. I ordered this one. Would have gotten one from TrueValue around the corner from me, but they were out of 50' hoses.

Is there a thread on the NRA and NY lenders being ordered by the governor not to do business with them?

We hit the Brown Bag at lunch on 12. I definitely recommend the Texas BLT if on the specials are board. 10 pc of bacon! It was hot and I wanted something light...

That place is still in business? I remember going in there back in the 70's.

 

[aclark]

Is that the place over by the mill? I’ve driven by it but never stopped.

 

[lonehoosier]

I think its open only for breakfast and lunch.

They make a killing for lunch. Only place out there and a lot of traffic going by with truck parking.

Yes, I think there is.
I'm too lazy to find it.
