How do I attach the hose nozzle to a short outside faucet?

by Kenneth Lavelle

The faucet on the outside brick wall is very close to the brick and close to the ground.I know I have screwed a hose to this faucet before but I can't get the hose at the right angle to begin screwing the nozzle to the faucet. Is there an extension that I can attach to that faucet to make it easier to screw the hose nozzle?

    There are three to four inch extensions with a spring reinforcement on the outside. My threads were bad so I didn’t want to fight everytime I took the hose on or off. I left this part on. Then took the hose on and off from it instead.

    Yes, you can buy short one or two foot attachments to give you an extension for your hose ease to add and remove hoses

    As others have said, there are 4'' attachments but they are very stiff...may also be difficult to attach. Is there dirt below your faucet? I have a similar situation and i dug a little into the dirt to get that extra inch of space.
