Question 1

How wide would this stretch? Would it fit over a pull out kitchen faucet head about 2.5 inches in diameter?

Accepted Answer

No.  It doest stretch hardly at all.  It only allows you to push it over an outside water faucet that maybe the threads have been stripped or is just a water pump type with no threads at all. Not to go over a kitchen faucet. When you push it on its thick so it allows for a good seal. Doesn't stretch much but conforms.

Question 2

What is the hose fitting size for this thing? 5/8 or 3/4? It just says standard.

Accepted Answer

The brass threaded male part of the water bandit is a standard GHF (garden hose fitting) that is on any 5/8 or 3/4 inch garden hose. The rubber end is technically intended to fit over a stripped male water hydrant faucet or a stripped male hose end. However, if the male fitting has been cut off of a 5/8 or 3/4 inch hose, you can force the cut hose end into the rubber end  of the water bandit and get somewhat of a decent seal. Sticking the cut end of the hose into the bandit and then securing with a hose clamp is a better approach. In any case, you probably will not be able to apply full water pressure to the water bandit connection. It is meant as a temporary fix to just get you by - but it does work. I've used it at dump stations where the brass fitting has been cut off the end of the fresh water hose and then connected the dump station hose to my own hose to flush out my black tank.

Question 3

Would this work on an old 30s-40s style bathtub faucet? I want to use it to put a hose on to wash my dog.

Accepted Answer

I may be wrong but I don’t think it will fit over the faucet, if you can get it on you may need a hose clamp to keep it on while washing the 🐶

Question 4

At a local state park, the fresh water access is simply a rubber hose.  No fitting at all, just a hose with the fitting cut off.  Would this work?

Accepted Answer

Possibly at a LOW flow rate but you would have to either manually hold it in place or tape/zip tie it or it will fall off. I used it in threaded old fittings and inside on spout with good raised details and it would always pop off unless I used zip ties. Good luck
