Flexible Kink Absorbers for Air and Water Hose
- Temperature Range: -25° to 350° F
Reduce sharp bends at the end of air and water hose that block flow and damage the hose. These kink absorbers support the connection between the hose and fitting. To install, push these kink absorbers over hose before attaching a fitting. If you’re having trouble getting them onto your hose, lubricate with soapy water. Once you’ve put on a fitting, slide these absorbers back toward the end of the hose, securing them over the fitting’s connection point.
Choose a kink absorber with an ID that is the same or slightly smaller than your hose's OD. Use with crimp-on ferrules or with push-on hose fittings; the end will not stretch over most hose clamps.

Metal Barbed Hose Fittings with Kink Absorber for Air and Water
Eliminate sharp bends at the end of your air and water hose—these fittings have a built-in kink absorber. The kink absorber reduces strain on your line, preventing damage. To install, slide the kink absorber onto your hose then push the barbed end of the fitting into the hose. The fitting's barbed end also has threads that connect the kink absorber, hose, and fitting all together. As you thread on the kink absorber to the fitting, it compresses against the hose, forming a strong seal.
Fittings that swivel until tightened rotate, so you don’t need to twist your hose during installation.

Low-Temperature Lightweight Air Hose with Fittings
- Temperature Range: -65° to 150° F
- Material: PVC
- Color: Blue, Red, or Yellow
Made of PVC, this hose stays flexible in temperatures as low as -65° F. This hose is lighter in weight and less cumbersome to handle than EPDM, but tough enough to resist scratches, scrapes, and UV damage. It also resists curling, so it’ll lay flat. Each end has a kink absorber to prevent sharp bends from damaging the hose.

Cold-Weather Garden Hose
- Temperature Range: -30° to 180° F
- Material: TPE Rubber
- Color: Red
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
Bend and flex this hose in the coldest weather—down to -30° F. A TPE rubber cover conducts heat to prevent it from becoming stiff and cracking, even if water inside the hose freezes. The spigot end has a kink absorber to protect the connection point from the strain of pulling or harsh bends.

Garden Hose for Drinking Water
- Temperature Range: 32° to 100° F
- Material: PVC
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
Safely transfer drinking water from a garden hose connection. Both the hose and fittings meet strict NSF/ANSI standards for drinking water. The fittings are certified by NSF/ANSI to have low-lead content. Also known as marine hose, this hose won't impart taste or odor in your drinking water.

Hose Benders
Slide these hose benders over your hose and bend to form any angle up to 90°. They prevent kinks and wear in rubber hose from repeated flexing, so they're often used to route hose around machinery and walkways. For angles larger than 90°, use additional benders. All are stainless steel for use in wet and corrosive environments.
