What customers say
Customers highly value the Gilmour Super Duty Flexogen hose for its exceptional durability and superior quality, positioning it as a premium, long-term investment.

Know before you buy
The Flexogen features a patented 8-layer construction designed specifically to maintain its shape under pressure. While no hose is entirely immune to twisting, this model is significantly more resistant to kinking and tangling than standard vinyl hoses.
Yes, this hose is built for high-pressure applications with a 600 PSI burst strength. It is well-suited for demanding tasks, though it is intended for standard garden use rather than as a dedicated high-pressure hose for professional pressure washers.
Despite its heavy-duty construction, the Flexogen is engineered to be the lightest in its class. The hybrid polymer material keeps it manageable, making it easier to maneuver around garden beds and corners than traditional rubber hoses.
The integrated spring acts as a strain relief at the spigot connection. It prevents the hose from bending at a sharp angle where it attaches to your faucet, which is the most common point for kinks and long-term structural damage.
The hose features crush-resistant brass couplings designed for a secure, leak-free connection. Brass is significantly more durable than plastic fittings and resists stripping, ensuring a tight seal season after season.
The Flexogen is built for durability and can handle a maximum operating temperature of 160°F. While it is designed for outdoor use, storing it out of direct sunlight when not in use will help extend the lifespan of the outer material.
