Hose Benders
Slide these hose benders over your hose and bend to form any angle up to 90°. They prevent kinks and wear in rubber hose from repeated flexing, so they're often used to route hose around machinery and walkways. For angles larger than 90°, use additional benders. All are stainless steel for use in wet and corrosive environments.

Flexible Kink Absorbers for Garden Hose
- Maximum Pressure: 120 psi @ 72° F
Use these kink absorbers to ensure maximum water flow and extend the life of your garden hose. They connect between the hose and faucet to eliminate sharp hose bends that can cause kinking and hose damage.

Flexible Kink Absorbers for Air and Water Hose
- Temperature Range: -25° to 350° F
Reduce sharp bends at the end of air and water hose that block flow and damage the hose. These kink absorbers support the connection between the hose and fitting. To install, push these kink absorbers over hose before attaching a fitting. If you’re having trouble getting them onto your hose, lubricate with soapy water. Once you’ve put on a fitting, slide these absorbers back toward the end of the hose, securing them over the fitting’s connection point.
Choose a kink absorber with an ID that is the same or slightly smaller than your hose's OD. Use with crimp-on ferrules or with push-on hose fittings; the end will not stretch over most hose clamps.
