About Gilmour
Gilmour is one of the oldest and most respected names in outdoor watering, with a legacy stretching back to 1949 when founder Robert Gilmour introduced the world's first pistol-grip hose nozzle. That single invention changed the way people water forever — and the brand hasn't stopped innovating since. Today, Gilmour is part of the Fiskars Group and offers a comprehensive portfolio of watering tools designed to give homeowners, gardeners, and outdoor enthusiasts precise, reliable control over every drop.
A Heritage of American-Made Innovation
Gilmour has been manufacturing hoses at its plant in Excelsior Springs, Missouri, since the 1950s. That facility operates around the clock, producing an extraordinary volume of hose each year — including the brand's flagship Flexogen® line, which features a patented tri-extrusion construction for exceptional kink resistance and durability. Beyond hoses, Gilmour's list of firsts includes the original clamp-style hose repair fitting, the adjustable Pattern Master® sprinkler, and Select-A-Spray® nozzles — all products that reflect the brand's commitment to removing frustration from outdoor watering tasks.
A Complete Watering System
What truly sets Gilmour apart is its integrated ecosystem of products. Water hoses, hose nozzles, push-on hose fittings, clamp-on hose fittings, and water outlets and washdown spigots are all engineered to work seamlessly together, delivering secure connections that minimize leaks and wasted water. Whether you're connecting a hose to a spigot, repairing a worn fitting, or choosing the perfect spray pattern for delicate seedlings versus a muddy driveway, Gilmour has a solution designed for the job.
Built to Last Season After Season
Gilmour products are designed with the user experience front and center — ergonomic grips, intuitive trigger controls, and materials chosen specifically to hold up under repeated outdoor use. Ongoing research and testing back every product in the lineup. Whether you're a weekend gardener or a serious lawn enthusiast, Gilmour's breadth of products means you can outfit your entire outdoor watering setup with components from a single trusted source.
