How can I free this stuck hose?

[Frederick Skelly]

Heat combined with water pump pliers should do it. If not, shut off the water supply to the spigot & replace the spigot. They'er not that expensive

Thanks Al!

Craftsman rubber hoses are lifetime warranty. I have a 50 foot one that the female end corroded off. I will try to return it today. wish me luck.

Twisting it off while still supporting the pvc pipe and be prepared to shut the water off just in case something cracks.

Or you could go all redneck on it and just cut the hose leaving the seized fitting alone and splice on another fitting so you can put a new hose on. Then that 6" of old hose is like a strain relief whip lead. Lol.

So I got it off.

Thanks for your help and advice.

Amazing that even though the job is finish there is still new advice on how to get 'er done.

When hose bib mounted vacuum breakers fail (leak) I take my Sawzall® & make a couple of cuts so that a large screwdriver can be put in the cut to spread it enough to allow it to unscrew, I try not to go too deep so don't bugger up the threads of the hose bib. One note, a lot of hoses have aluminum hose fitting, they are really prone to corrosion so I would recommend leaving them in the store in favor of brass fittings.

Thanks Rollie. What you describe is pretty much what I ended up doing. And I put plastic hose fittings on the dang hose to eliminate corrosion.

I strongly agree. I learned the hard way to not buy hoses and things with aluminum fittings.
I've seen some lately that appeared to be anodized aluminum. I wonder if this is better but I'm not brave enough to try one. Very pretty though.
I also wonder if a silicone compound like dielectric grease would slow or stop the corrosion. I think I'll try that on on those aluminum fittings I have now.
