Fortunately for us who live in this universe, fluid will speed up through the narrow sections and slow down through the fatter sections. It's NOT like toothpaste, where once it goes through a smaller hole it remains that diameter. Fluid dynamics is not intuitive. R.

So putting a nozzle on the end of my water garden hose will allow me to fill my car wash bucket just as fast as an open hose? We are talking non compressible fluids, correct?

My opinion is the fitting they screw onto is the choke point... I always drill them open a small amount but I know its not a 3/8 bit.... I havent measure the ID of the male fittings

You just turned it into a 3/8 hose unless you increase the pressure to increase flow
