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.
Suction and discharge hoses can be used to pump water from cisterns, vats, basements and hazardous areas. Suction hoses and discharge hoses can be used in industrial chemical plants, agricultural applications and for rescue and pumping operations.
