A safety hose apparatus is provided for delivering water from a standard threaded hose bib to an appliance. The apparatus includes a first end fitting that has a first pipe. A first threaded connector is rotatably attached to the first pipe for communicably connecting the first pipe to the hose bib. A second end fitting includes a second pipe and a second threaded connector is rotatably connected to the second pipe for communicably connecting the second pipe to a standard threaded appliance inlet. An elongate outer hose segment extends continuously between the first and second fittings and includes a first end interengaged with the first end fitting and spaced apart from the first connector to fully expose the first connector. A second end is interengaged with the second end fitting and spaced apart from the second connector to fully expose the second connector. An elongate inner hose segment extends through the outer hose segment and communicably interconnects the first and second pipes. The inner and outer hose segments have an interior space formed therebetween. The apparatus transmits water from the hose bib to the inlet of the appliance and the interior chamber captures water leaking escaping through a rupture in the inner hose segment.

[ What is claimed is:] [13.] A safety hose apparatus for delivering water from a threaded spout of a standard hose bib to a standard threaded appliance inlet, said apparatus comprising:a continuous outer hose;an inner hose extending through said outer hose;a first end fitting, which includes a first pipe communicably connected proximate one end thereof to a first end of said inner hose, a first threaded connector being rotatably attached to said first pipe proximate the opposite end thereof and threadably engaged with the spout of the hose bib to communicably connect said first pipe and said inner hose to the hose bib;a second end fitting that includes a second pipe communicably connected proximate one end thereof to a second end of said inner hose, a second threaded connector being rotatably attached to said second pipe proximate the other end thereof and threadably engaged with the appliance inlet to communicably interconnect said inner hose and said second pipe to the appliance inlet, whereby water from the hose bib is transmitted through said first pipe, said inner hose and said second pipe to the appliance inlet;at least a portion of said first fitting defining a first closure that is attached to a first end of said outer hose and at least a portion of said second fitting defining a second closure that is attached to a second end of said outer hose to retain, within said outer hose, water leaking through a rupture in said inner hose, said first threaded connector being peripherally exposed by said first end of said outer hose sufficiently to permit unhindered rotation of said threaded first threaded connector relative to said first pipe so that said first connector may be threadably engaged with and disengaged from the spout, and said second threaded connector being peripherally exposed by said second end of said outer hose sufficiently to permit unhindered rotation of said second threaded connector relative to said second pipe so that said second connector may be threadably engaged with and disengaged from the appliance inlet; anddrain conduit means attached to at least one of said closures for discharging leaking water from between said hoses into a standard appliance drainpipe.
