    • Garden hoses come in all sizes, shapes, and colors. When it comes to the thread size of a garden hose, it's important to know what you're looking for. If you're in the market for a new one, or just want to know more about the subject, then you're in the right place. Let's kickstart this article and dig into the details of what size is a garden hose thread.

    The thread size of the garden hose will determine which attachment accessories fit it. The wrong size thread can be too small and cause a leak, or it won't fit at all. As a result, it's essential to know the hose thread size and pick the right accessory.

    There are two thread types for the garden hoses: European and American sizes. The European thread size is a metric designation. It can range from about 13mm to 28mm in diameter. The American thread size has two designations the National Hose Thread (NHT) and the Garden Hose Thread (GHT). The NHT is generally larger than the GHT and is used for boats and fire connections. Meanwhile, the GHT is a thinner size, most commonly used for garden hoses.

    Measuring the size of the garden hose thread is not an easy task. One way to measure is to wrap a tape measure or ruler around the outside of the thread. This will then tell you the circumference and help you to calculate the diameter of the thread. Alternatively, you can purchase a thread gauge. This device has a variety of thread sizes and can be used to measure garden hose threads.

    The most common American sizes are NHT (3/4) and GHT (5/8). The NHT is suitable for most attachments and connectors. The GHT is commonly used for garden hoses, but may not fit some accessories. Meanwhile, the most common European size is the 19mm (3/4) thread, which is used for most garden hoses and accessories.

    When it comes to connectors or water attachments to your garden hose, it's important to pick the right size thread. Accessories and attachments such as water nozzles, sprinklers, and dividers are available in the NHT or GHT size. If you're replacing an accessory then it's essential to know the thread size before buying a new one otherwise it won't fit.

    It is now abundantly clear that when it comes to garden hoses, it's important to know the thread size. There are two standard sizes European and American style and each has a range of sizes that vary from about 13mm to 28mm. Additionally, when looking for accessories or replacement connectors, it's important to check the thread size first.

    It can be tempting to forgo too much detail when it comes to your garden hose thread size. However, it pays off to really take the time to get the measurements right. With the information presented here, you can equip yourself with the knowledge you need to make sure you buy the right size garden hose and accessories.
