A garden hose, hosepipe, or simply hose is a flexible tube used to convey water. There are a number of common attachments available for the end of the hose, such as sprayers and sprinklers (which are used to concentrate water at one point or to spread it over a large area). Hoses are usually attached to a hose spigot or tap.

Stainless braided hose is a corrugated stainless steel tube (helical corrugation on sizes to 1" and annular corrugation on larger sizes) with external stainless braiding. It is commonly used in high temperature or highly corrosive applications where a rubber hose is not suitable.
