  Detach any hose that may connected to your current hose bib by turning the hose connection counterclockwise. If the connection is stubborn, you may find it helpful to use a vice grip to loosen the connection.
- 2
  Attach the wing connector to the spiral hose by screwing it clockwise into the female end of the hose. Turn it as tightly as you can with your fingers.

  Attach the spiral flex hose to the hose bib with the wing connector nut. Make sure that the spiral hose does not twist or spin as you screw the wing connector nut into the hose bib clockwise. The wing connector nut should help guard against twisting or spinning because of its swivel.
