connect garden hose to fire hydrant to wash his car. I don't mined paying $6 for car wash but sometimes I wanna hand wash and wax, since I live in building thats impossible unless I keep bringing buckets of water. My question is it legal to use fire hydrant and what I need to hook up line to fire hydrant.

I imagine a garden hose connected to a fire hydrant would do right nicely at stripping paint, are you sure he was washing it?

Go to a local firehouse, they might have some adaptor. I know you have to do that to get the head if you want to open the hydrant for kids...

it can't possibly be legal.

Don't you need a funky five-sided wrench for those things?


And for as much as people complain about duk-nug's threads, they always seem to grow at an alarming rate.
