Safety hose for delivering water to an appliance

摘要

A safety hose apparatus is provided for delivering water from a standard threaded hose bib to an appliance. The apparatus includes a first end fitting that has a first pipe. A first threaded connector is rotatably attached to the first pipe for communicably connecting the first pipe to the hose bib. A second end fitting includes a second pipe and a second threaded connector is rotatably connected to the second pipe for communicably connecting the second pipe to a standard threaded appliance inlet. An elongate outer hose segment extends continuously between the first and second fittings and includes a first end interengaged with the first end fitting and spaced apart from the first connector to fully expose the first connector. A second end is interengaged with the second end fitting and spaced apart from the second connector to fully expose the second connector. An elongate inner hose segment extends through the outer hose segment and communicably interconnects the first and second pipes. The inner and outer hose segments have an interior space formed therebetween. The apparatus transmits water from the hose bib to the inlet of the appliance and the interior chamber captures water leaking escaping through a rupture in the inner hose segment.
