Flexzilla Garden Lead-in Hose, 5/8″ x 5′, Female/Female 3/4″ – 11 1/2 GHT Fittings

I purchased the Flexzilla lead-in hose to replace the factory lead-in hose for a hose reel. The factory hose eventually ruptured as a result of developing a permanent squash where the hose had to bend sharply to screw into the hose reel. The Flexzilla hose should be less prone to that issue by virtue of the facts that it is more flexible and has a strain relief collar. The five foot Flexzilla hose has the added advantage of being longer than the factory hose, and that provides more options for placing the hose reel. I will be ordering another Flexzilla hose for a second hose reel, which has the same permanent squash at the same location.
