It seems to me that putting a garden hose on a faucet should be easy and foolproof... not much to not work correctly, right? So, I can't figure out exactly why mine doesn't work.
A few years ago I had a sprinkler system installed, and this faucet seems soldered on via copper pipe. It least it doesn't look simple to get it off, or I would simply replace it. The problem is that garden hose is fairly difficult to get on (some stripped threads maybe?) and whenI do manage to get it on tightly via a wrench, it squirts water out the top of the faucet threads, or through whre the hose end is connected to the hose itself. I have tried several hoses, all do the same thing.
This is not a complicated device! Is there some simple reason I am missing? And what can be done to fix it? Thanks much!
