My Hose Fitting Is Fused To The Faucet!

February 21, 2022 by suzannemartin

Why does hose stick to the faucet?
Yikes! Why is my hose stuck to the faucet? What should I do?

Yikes! My hose fitting is fused to the faucet!  What should I do?

Have you ever wondered….why aluminum hose fittings will fuse to your brass hose bibbs?

The next time you are outside, check out your hoses that are attached to  your home to make sure you can easily remove the hose from the faucet.  If you can, this means you have the right type of hose fitting for your spigot/faucet.  If you cannot remove the hose from the faucet, this means you have dissimilar fittings, and they may possibly be fused.  It’s a fairly common issue, and perhaps you have an aluminum hose fitting that fused to the brass hose bibb

My hose fitting is fused to the faucet!  Here’s what you can do…

After looking at your hose situation and you discover you have an aluminum fitting attached to a brass hose bibb,  here’s a suggestion:  remove the couplings from any brass connections after every use. If you do not, the aluminum will fuse to any brass connection! This is a result of galvanic corrosion: A condition that occurs between two dissimilar metals when pressed together. Aluminum and brass are far apart on the dissimilar metals chart and will corrode and fuse quickly. The more water that is present, the faster the corrosion and fusing reaction will occur.  So, if. you use your hose frequently, always detach your hose from the faucet/spigot after you are finished.  Otherwise, if you don’t this fusing will cause a costly plumbing repair as the entire faucet body may have to be removed and replaced with a new one.
