The patented Reflex Mesh technology utilizes a mesh network of reinforcement so kinks, twists and tangles don’t have a chance to get started. Neverkink water hoses are ultra-flexible for easy handling and maneuverability. The couplings are made with high strength, lead free aluminum that is crush-proof up to 1,200 pounds. The new ergo rigid sleeve prevents kinking at the faucet. Contains MicroShield® antimicrobial protection which guards against mold and mildew that can cause hose deterioration.
