For example, for general work, you may choose a size of 5/8 or 1/2 inches, but if used in agriculture or work delivering large amounts of water, you should choose a larger size such as 3/4 or 1 inch.
  • For those who want to change to a new garden hose, you can use a ruler to measure the mouth of the old garden hose. It should be measured from the inside circumference of the garden hose mouth.
  • If you don't use the above method for measuring the inner garden hose, you can measure the size of your faucet instead. Most often there will be a number listed next to it such as 1/2, 3/4, 1 or may be measured with a ruler around the outside of the cork mouth. If it's a household faucet, it's usually a 1/2 inch faucet, so you should choose a larger 5/8 inch hose size. In order to fit the mouth of the cork Because if you choose hoses of the same size, they may not fit together or be difficult to insert and waste a lot of time installing.
