Hose that retains water when disconnected ? edit
Most hoses are open at the end when disconnected, so the water just pours right out. Not such a problem for lawn work, but it can make a bit of a mess when disconnecting hoses inside, like washing machine, dishwasher, and the fridge ice-maker. Besides using a bucket and a mop and holding the end of the hose up, are there connectors that work line gas lines connectors, and keep the contents inside ?

- Assuming you mean the single shut-off valve version, not the free-flow version, then yes, that sounds like what I mean. Thanks. SinisterLefty (talk) 01:20, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

- Standard quick connect fittings for garden hoses (like this one [2]) don't allow water to flow through the large female connector unless a male connector is inserted into it. CodeTalker (talk) 15:21, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
