Garden Hose Repair Fittings with Clips
This guide provides instructions for installing and using garden hose repair fittings with clips, designed for 3/4" or 5/8" garden hoses. These fittings allow for efficient repair of damaged garden hoses.
Product Overview
The garden hose repair fittings are a practical solution for extending the life of your garden hose. They are typically made of durable brass and come with hose clamps for a secure connection. The set includes fittings and clips to repair a damaged section of the hose or to connect two hose ends.
Installation Guide
Follow these steps to install the garden hose repair fittings:
- Prepare the Hose: Cut out the damaged section of the garden hose cleanly. Ensure the ends are straight and free of debris.
- Insert the Fitting: Take one of the repair fittings and insert one end into the cut end of the garden hose. Push it in as far as it will go to ensure a good seal.
- Secure with Clip: Place a hose clamp around the outside of the hose, over the inserted fitting. Tighten the clamp using a screwdriver until it is snug and secure.
- Repeat for Other End: Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the other end of the hose, connecting it to the other side of the repair fitting. If connecting two hose ends, attach a fitting to each hose end and then connect the two fittings together.
- Test for Leaks: Once installed, turn on the water supply to the hose and check for any leaks around the connection points. Tighten the clamps further if necessary.
