Behold!
It’s a 3/4″ to 1/2″ reducer bushing threaded to a 1/2″ to 1/4″ reducer bushing threaded to a 1/4″ air hose quick connect.
Attach it to a garden hose and set your air compressor regulator to 50 psi.
Blows the water out of hose on a reel.
Great for getting a hose on a reel ready for movers to take it.
Also probably good for winterizing hose.
About $6 worth of parts at Lowe’s.
We have a similar fitting we use to blow out our lawn sprinkler system for winterization. Although ours has more hose clamps. 🙂
Engineering solution, spend a little time and some money to design a way to do the job. Redneck way, stick the air hose in the water hose and duct tape them together. ;))
$6 for an adapter? NEVER!
$6 worth of duct tape? This is the way!
EVERYBODY has a roll of duct tape laying around, just waiting to be used, no cost.
You don’t? Sad. ;-))
When moving, I just drained the hose as much as I could, and connected the female end to the male end. Any remaining water stayed in the hose.
For winter, I just disconnect from the hose bib, coil it horizontally, and let it drain. There remaining water will never expand enough to harm the hose.
