Does extending the length of hose reduce PSI at the nozel?

In my opinion I couldn't tell any difference in psi or effectiveness of the unit. The hose worked great and the extra length was useful in getting to certain areas.

the pressure will not reduce unless the capacity of the pump is not sufficient. most of the time these pumps are way more efficient than the size of the hose so I wouldn't worry about it

I used the hose only as a replacement, but I really don't think you would notice much, if any, reduction in pressure at the nozzle. There might be a small reduction in the volume of water expelled due to friction of the water along the internal wall of the longer hose. That's just my theory. I am not an hydraulic engineer. Hope this answer helps you out.

Yes there is a pretty substantial reduction, but thats not as annoying as the weight of the hose increases as it fills with waterYou have to drag it along like a cartoon accordian.

I have the stainless steel one, and yes, the pressure seem diminished slightly. Not sure if it's a 'green' low flow feature.

As long as the pressure is within the recommended values for the hose / nozzle, it should not harm the usual corrugated poly drain piping.

No...psi is too high. I returned this model after it broke on first use. The nozzles are cheap.

It is similar to Ohms law E=IR or Bernoulli's principle. The hose has a volume of water at he pressure of the supply source. The nozzle restricts the volume of water, the difference in volume of water out of the nozzle results in increased velocity. Since no energy is added the pressure is not increased but the velocity is, resulting in a stream of more concentrated energy not more pressure. The result from the exit of the nozzle is actually less.

Not sure if it reduces the pressure but I actually use it with a 1/4" dripline and it works pretty good.

Yes, you just reduce the air pressure. Adjust it with the air compressor regulator.

I have a 100' x 3/4" hose on it and it looks like the tube it connects to is 1/2" so yes it restricts flow but I have not noticed the restriction because I have 80 psi at that faucet. We love the quality and styling and it doesn't leak!

I don't have that problem. When you extend the hose you do need to seat the nozzle by hand. Love the faucet, hate the soap dispenser.

No, if you use it with a 1/4" drip line, you will need to include a separate 25 psi pressure reducer

Sorry - can't answer that one for sure. My guess is that is does not matter since it is working off existing pressure of the line.

once u hook up the hole to the compressor i don;t notices any drop. there is still same pressure at end of hose as in compressor.

no pressure drop noted. Its not long enough to drop any noticable pressure.

I returned mine. Could only get 130 PSI out of it. Connector did not leak though.

For longer reach, I would replace (not extend) the original hose with one of larger diameter. Larger diameter at the same flow rate will have lower frictional loss, with a lower loss of pressure.

What is the pressure without any attachment. If it is 12 PSI you heve somesthing clogging in the hose.
