Has anyone left this hose under pressure permanently? How does it hold up? I'm using to extend my faucet.

Only for short periods of 3 to 4 days. However it held up fine to 40-60 psi pressure which is not surprising given the nylon-braid reinforced thick tubing used. I would think it be at least as good as those short extender hoses you can buy which are much thinner. HTH...

I had to twist the hose as it was inserted to get it to ADVANCE through the bend in the faucet base. I hope this helps.

I did not try. I have a large garden and stay very busy once it starts yielding. I have always gotten a long life out of garden hoses. My son-in-law tried to fix. He has one and was able to tighten the connection end of the hose. He was not successful with mine. I actually forgot about this hose since my father also tried to fix the hose.

We've had ours for about 1 year and like it BUT we just noticed black rubber bits coming out of the faucet! I talked to Delta and they're sending out a new hose free but I asked if this was a known issue. The customer service rep said "yes, but it's very rare". I've been in engineering/manufacturing for 20 years and asked if they made any improvements to the hose and he said no, it was just a certain production run that had this problem. It's gross though since we drink quite a bit of water and I don't know how much EPDM rubber my family's consumed.

I have used mine a few times with no leaks even left it hooked up a few hours to test and it held set pressure. Maybe try new male connector on your hose and see if it helps

I don't know if my pressure is near the same as yours, but my hose has worked very well, no problems.

I didn't look when I got it. I have used it for couple months now with no problems. Even had construction people working on my house use it and they have not managed make it leak or fail. The trick is to not leave water in the hose after use. Empty and put away. I have a very small basket under the hose nozzle where it is stored when empty of water and water pressure. Works great, stores in a very small place, and I believe this hose type will take over the market for home use.

I have no experience with high pressure. I just know this is the best hose I've ever bought and it seems like it will last forever.

No but make sure the hose is rated for the incoming pressure (typically not an issue).

It's really a function of the nozzle you put on it. The diameter of it seems to be narrower thanthe normal hose and I have no problem than with the pressure.

It only bends and the hose does not pull out. It only reaches around the bottom of the faucet base, which is only few couple inches lower. It would be nice to have more hose, but really hasn't caused me any problems.

I have no idea why other reviewers said it leaked. It will have some water that remains in the hose even after you turn it "off," but my solution to that is to hold the spray handle down until the water stops before hanging it back up. I've not had any problems with mine and I use mine constantly :-).

Check hose connector. If hose is loosing pressure, at faucet or at any connection point, pressure will not build.

There's nothing to permanently attach a hose to. Best you can do IMO is rig something.

It is a garden hose, it will withstand normal water pressure. I'm not sure what is meant by "high pressure". And T. Baine is right, it is a great hose. I've had identical Sears hoses that are still good after 20 years.

I have used mine constantly for a couple years in southern California; it was my favorite hose so I bought two more a few months ago and love them too. They have never swollen or leaked. If by constant pressure you mean having the water on but the end you would attach a sprayer to shut down, I try not to do that but forget sometimes and did not have a problem.

I have left the faucet on in the past but try not to. I know how damage a burst hose could cause. My suggestion is to not leave the supply hose pressurised (faucet on) whenever possible.
