flexible hose

Pliable water pipe

A flexible hose is a tube designed to bend and curve while carrying liquids, gases, or other materials.

Unlike rigid pipes, flexible hoses can be routed around obstacles and moved during use: Connect the flexible hose to the spigot.

Common in gardens, showers, washing machines, and industrial applications where fixed piping would be impractical.
