You aren't understanding how the threaded female side of the American hose coupling works.

The Female ferrule is free turning around the stem, using a replaceable neoprene compression washer to prevent leakage.

So the entire hose does not have to twist at all.




Actually, it's the male threaded coupler on the inlet hose that would be the problem. I did understand, we used to use the same system here. We still can as that style of fitting is still available though almost nobody bothers with them.
