Garden Hose Repair Connector with Clamps, Male and Female Garden Hose Fittings, 3 Set

Good product and good value.

Sometimes these guys are really handy when we are heading out for the day for window cleaning, and we are setting up our water fed cleaning systems. we often have a pile of unused or old hoses that we cut to size and then we will use as part of our hose system for our window Cleaning equipment. It’s much cheaper to build your own than having to buy a full hose. These pieces make it easy to do so and they come with the clamps which are nice. You can use a flathead to do it but I’d recommend having one that can fit around the actual hex nut. You want to make sure it’s tight but not overly tightened. Also, one of the things that is a little trickier is getting the nipple and of the connector into the house fully it requires a lot of pushing I don’t have a complete trick to doing that maybe you have a vacuum on the other side to suck it in but what I’ve done is just manually push it in with my hand or push it against the ground to slowly get it in. If you have a stubborn one you can sometimes use a little bit of heat to the adapter into the hose

I have a 100’ hose back to our garden. It’s one of the heavy duty black ones from Home Depot (I know that means nothing, but I don’t know the thickness off the top of my head). It got a bubble in it after 3+ years, which bursted, so I needed to repair it. This was an easy fix. It’s been holding up for a few months and saved me from buying another $70-80 hose. If it lasts for a few years I’ll be thrilled. I’m not so confident, but I only used 1 of the the “repair kits” to fix it so I guess I have 2 more tries after this. Installation is really easy. Just cut both ends clean, then slip on the hose clamps, then the brass fittings, then tighten down. All you need is snips and a hex wrench/flathead.Update 6/15/2023:The hose is holding up great where this fix was applied. There are a couple new bubbles forming in the hose (not in relation to this repair), so I suspect I'll be using the other 2 fittings soon to repair the hose. The first fitting I used is still holding up great though. Also, we leave the hose outside (reeled) during the winter... no issues with this coupler at all. I would buy again.

I cut up an old garden hose to shorter lengths to make a DIY sprinkler system. These connectors worked perfectly to make new ends onto the hose. I slipped the clamp over a raw cut end of the old hose, and easily pushed the connectors into the hose, and I tightened with the clamp with a regular flat head screwdriver. It was very quick and easy. My only complaint, which is a slight one, is that while the “male” end was really easy to push in, the “female” end was a little less easy (still not difficult)—because the rotating “screw” end of the female connector (that you use to attach the hose to the water spigot) would flop around a bit and so it made it harder for me to grab hold of something study in order to shove the connector into the rubber hose. But it was still not difficult to push the female end of the connector into the hose. These all work very well—no leaks at all. It’s also nice that they came with an extra O-ring for each set—those periodically need to be replaced because they wear down and then a hose will leak. So it’s nice to have spares on hand. I recommend these garden hose repair connectors. They were very easy to connect and work very well.UPDATE: I liked these so much that I purchased another set to extend my sprinkler system.If my review was helpful, please let Amazon know by clicking “helpful.” Thanks.

These look to be very sturdy.

Good price of course, and they function pretty much as expected. I did have one pop out of hose shortly after pressurizing because these do not have a barbed fit, they're pretty smooth so you have to really clamp down on the hose clamp very tight, which can start to cut the hose over time. I'm also not a fan of the brass colored aluminum. Would probably spring for more expensive all brass fittings next time, and definitely would look for a more barbed type fitting that goes into the hose.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Ran over a good hose of mine with riding mower - dodged bullet on that, didn't tear up mower. SURE did a number on that hose though. Expletives replete - then came in & ordered these brass male/female hose repair parts with SS hose clamps. Delivered next day - Problem solved. They went into the inside of the hose - nice tight fit, used mallet to seat totally. Clamps worked well too - sometimes the cheaper ones don't work so good!Voila, back up and running for less than replacing the hose. only lost maybe 8 feet of the hose.

Why had I never heard of something like this before?? I'd always duct-taped leaky hoses to oblivion, but this repair kit was really simple but effective in fixing an old hose that had sprung several leaks for which my duct-tape repair wasn't working anymore. The hardest part was just making clean cuts to remove the broken hose segments. They don't come with instructions, so I just went off intuition and it was luckily successful!Here's what I did:1) used an exacto-knife to cut the segments out of the hose with the leaks2) inserted each end of the repair connector (this took a bit of grip strength) . I made sure to seat the black rubber washer inside the "female" end .3) hand tightened the two ends together4) used the metal clamps around the circumference of the spots of I repaired (where the metal connectors meet the cut edge of the hose) to strengthen the hose. I used a flathead screwdriver to tighten theseTook less than 5 minutes, no frustration, no tools needed except a knife and a flathead screwdriver, and worked flawlessly! Now I'm dreaming up ways to rescue leaky hoses from the trash and turn them into an irrigation system for my garden.....
