Product Overview
The PVC Garden Hose is a lightweight, economical watering tool widely used for home gardening, yard irrigation, and small cleaning tasks. Made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material, this hose offers good flexibility and basic abrasion resistance, making it suitable for everyday gardening use.
Compared to rubber hoses, the PVC Garden Hose is lighter and more affordable, though slightly less flexible and durable. It's ideal for connecting to standard faucets for light-duty tasks like watering plants, washing cars, or cleaning patio surfaces. The PVC material allows easy coiling for compact storage when not in use.
This hose is designed for cold water use only and is not recommended for hot water or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Its lightweight design makes it easy to handle for elderly users and women, serving as a practical choice for home gardening.
