will a heavy 75' garden hose be able to take this weight without damaging the faucet?

Its sturdy but it is plastic I wouldn't pullon it. just use it to hang hose on it

I purchased this to hold a 75' nylon hose which has little weight. If you are talking about a regular hose, I don't think this has enough depth or height to hold a rubber hose. If the faucet is close to the house with little pipe exposed, weight of hose should not be a problem. Would be more concerned with volume of hose.

I am able to swing my faucet quite far around until it is blocked by wall behind- probably 220 degrees. There is no "loose" or wobbly feel at all- upright and solidly stable.

Definitely not, it is much too heavy unless you have some major duty hanging tools.

Give it away! If you have an expensive brass head, like a rain head, it won't hold it. It may stay up but as soon as it gets the water weight too, bingo, it's down. Or, as I did, get a solid chrome plated bent pipe extension.

Yes you can as long as it is not lift (Distance straight up). I have a 75 foot hose on mine currently but only going up 2 feet.

Your weight is in the base where hydraulics are if I where moving it I would take off top the heaviest I've put on it is 45 lbs

I'm not sure about there waranty, I purchased one and have had no problems. It only weighs about a 1/2 pound soaking wet.

There is a weight on the hose under the sink. As long as that can move freely, it will assist in returning the hose. It is not a hands-free return. Dont get hung up on that, its a great faucet.

Unfortunately no, Cathy, I have the very heavy duty one and have timed it traveling over my yard. So far it has never jumped the hose and I just make sure I'm around to check it towards the end of the period I timed. Probably a timer on the faucet would be a good investment. Good luck.

While the head of the faucet is heavier than others we have had and I do have some issues which affect my hand and wrist joints, I don't find it too heavy. Unless it were taken apart I don't know how you would get an accurate weight for the head. Have you considered calling customer service?

It can handle faucet water directly, but I wouldn't put it on full force mainly because the outflow of it is small and the pressure may be too much depending on how much water pressure you have.

Based on my experience with 50 ft and 75 ft hoses, it should be able to handle 100 ft of 3/4 inch hose.

Don't see why not, I have an older 75' Neverklnk that I use as a garden hose. If aren't bothered that the hose is white and not green - no problem AND it never kinks !

I agree w/the other 3 answers; since it is thinner than a normal hose, it is much lighter. Just be careful when dragging it around - watch for loops in the hose that will turn into kinks if you keep pulling on it (no hose is kink-free in this situation); my wife drags it all over the back yard fully extended to 150' (we have 2 - 75' sections screwed together). For less weight, before you roll it up, turn the water off first @ the house & leave the nozzle open so it drains out so you aren't dealing w/water weight too.

Yes, you would want to attach it to the studs due to the weight of the hose.

I don't know the weight and it's now hooked up with 3 other hoses in our back yard but perhaps this will help. My wife weighs 90 lbs. and hauls these hoses all over with no problem. She refuses to use any other hose.

i just checked and it seems possibly the very hose i bought may have a suit against it. we bought a 25 footer that does its job around the house, then bought a 75 footer which has worked so far. i love the light weight aspect. now, x-hose is advertising theirs as the authentic one with 3/4" diameter - that one i want to get next. x-hose for sure advertises they are durable. we will baby ours and i hope it lasts!
