You know, it’s not like there are civil servants that sit around trying to think up random rules just to annoy the citizenry. In this case, people got sick and then the agency responsible came up with a way to prevent it from happening. That idea then became code. |

Just tie a ribbon of cloth around the brass fitting. It will substantially reduce the spray.

They’re required by code on hose bibs. That being said, we’re on a closed loop system, so there is no chance of contaminated water from a hose, or hose end sprayer, affecting anything but your home. And even that is highly unlikely

I'm amazed at the amount of effort people will exert to deal with an "inconvenience" at most. If this amount of effort and brain power and effort to deal with them was applied to the real problems we face this world would be a much better place. Just sayin!

Well, if you think you get wet turning the hose off, try adjusting your sprinkler heads

If you hook up your hose to a fertilizer. or put the end of the hose into a bucket of foul water, you can contaminate the water supply if any kind of negative pressure occurs, which can be something as simple as flushing a toilet. This device breaks the connection to stop it from happening.
