What diameter hose are you connecting to this? I used 3/8, I wonder if 7/16 will produce better results?

I use my regular size hose (1/2 in) but am very careful as to how much I turn the water on. You need to turn the water on very slowly watching until it drips at the end of the drip hose, finding the right amount of pressure but not too much. Too much pressure can eventually cause the hose to fail. I'm using this hose with a timer so once I've set the pressure I don't have to change it. I believer there are pressure regulators that can be used that would keep the water pressure in the drip hose from getting too high.

I am using the 3/8" hose. You could try the 7/16 but will connectors be compatible?

I had to return this hose. There are NO ADDITIONAL fittings available for it to modify the system making it VERY LIMITED. I called miracle grow and was referred to their manufacturer. Miracle grow told me that it was discontinued product. They gave me the manufactures information and when I called them they told me was a brand-new product. A lot of confusion but no fittings. I bought a wonderful system from Gardner supply Burlington Vermont. It is also available on Amazon and can be modified to suit your needs or to expand in the future.

I use a 5/8 diameter hose, but any size hose should work, because you do not need full water pressure, only enough to achieve the drip rate you want.

Hi there, I checked my three way connectors, both of them ( I have in both bathrooms ) came with 3/8" not 7/8". Maybe try to check in Home depot or Lowe's. My husband told me it's came with that 3/8" adapter.

I think it is 3/8 but it is super thin. I went to Home Depot and got thicker hose.

The 3/8 worked fine on my 1993 40hp Johnson/Evinrude. I think the brass fittings that connect to the outboard and to the gas tank are all the same, its the inside diameter of the hose that is 5/16 or 3/8. My old one was a 5/16, but I replaced it with the 3/8. Didn't have any trouble with the end fitting matching my outboard, or my old gas tank.

I used clear flexible hose by Rockler...4 inch diameter....but any 4 inch diameter should work

I've bought 3/8 to 1/2 hose and 1/2 to 1/2 adapter and connected this new hose to provided hose.

I would use 3/8". You will need to purchase a barbed tube fitting 3/8" tube x 1/2 npt

Best performance is with a 1/2 airhose and a 1/2 air coupler. 3/8 hose inside diameter will hinder power

I think the answer is you have the wrong size half inch hose. The irrigation industry makes two hoses one with a half-inch ID and one with a half inch OD that's the problem knowing which hose to use. The seller is not always clear to which of these sizes you are getting very frustrating

The 3/8" male and 3/8" female fittings that this hose comes with, obviously, won't fit the wand or hose that your unit came with. If I were you, I would call Simpson's '800' number and tell them what fittings this hose you want to purchase, comes with and find out if there is an adapter that would complete your connection(s), or they may have another way to help yo. They should easily answer that question. Good Luck!

I would use a real flexible hose something from HD or Loews with a 1/4 in. Fitting that's all you need

I use the 2.5in hose. It produces OK results. But the suck power is not as strong as my shop vac. It is better to have the 4 inch hose to run the distance and then reduced to 2.5in at the saw or the planer.

3/8 Id and and any outer diameter, don't us 7/16 because it could leak even though it's 1/16 off

This adapter is supposed to connect it to a 1 1/4 shopvac hose. There is also one for the bigger hose. I have the 1 1/4 and this adapter isn't perfect, but close enough that a short piece of tape will help do the job. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000AV77K/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use a 3/8" 150psi flexzilla. You will also need fittings for hose (typically) and impact. Quick connect style is what I use, something like: TEKTON 4720 Quick Connect Coupler Set, 5-Piece

Measure the diameter of the hose from outer rim. If the distance is 1 3/16 then it should fit.
