heat gun to warm up cut end hose and Vaseline the repair insert and no fight to slide the hose over the inserts also to seat the inserts completely you can use a wrench on the hose insert just past the threads is a 8 sided flats to use the wrench on to twist it into the hose completely

Video too long.

I had 1 hand on the garbage can lid about to toss a broken hose, and I'm like you know what let me check KZbin there's probably a way to fix this. Did not disappoint. You saved me a hose, thanks!

[@lecolibri3116]

Thank you! It took me weeks of sulking from having no one to help fix my garden house. I cut the hose and still couldn't get the adapter in. After the first three minutes of your video (and a little boiling water for the hose), I put everything together correctly! Very grateful!

[@clarencewiles963]

Last year I refitted my hoses and did not notice the fittings were dissimilar metal. Thumbs up 👍

[@HowToHomeDIY]

Appreciate the feedback Clarence! Did the hoses get stuck together?

[@JimBluePiano]

Another very good, practical, useful video. Thank you!

[@HowToHomeDIY]

You are welcome. Really glad to hear you liked it. Thanks a lot for taking the time to leave feedback Jim!

I've used two different hose ends and they both had small leaks, so I put a small amount of silicone sealant on the barb before pushing it into the hose. I do the same with the hose splicer connections.

[@pricer39]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I have some silicone sealant and have used one of the hose clamps and adapter thingy. Lasts a few days, then it pulls/falls off. I'm gonna go give putting on some silicone sealant a try right now. Sounds like it will work! Makes me a happy camper again! 😁 Cheers!

[@lindamonsalve083165]

Thanks for this video! I was going to buy a new hose!

[@mandycote5662]

I’m glad you didn’t have to I have no intentions of that - there’s nothing wrong with the hose I have except I have a sprayer I wanted to replace and it doesn’t want to come off 🙄 The hose I have is VERY long and is great all around the house- this year I’m gardening - sooo 🤔

[@joewenzel5142]

Great tips.

[@spartan3467]

How do you remove the spline in the hose (thing that prevents kinks)? You mentioned to remove about an inch but it's difficult to get in with a knife or scissors. I cut as much as i could and use a similar repair kit but was still getting leaks. This was on the female side.

[@stans5270]

Using liquid soap on the inside of the hose [use your pinky for 360-degree coverage of the soap] should get your hose to slip on easily.

[@HowToHomeDIY]

That’s a great tip! Thanks a lot for the input Stan!

[@saulgoodman2018]

So you have to finger you hose and lube it?

[@jamesthomas-yk1um]

thanks

[@calvinmitchell6381]

Something you always have around to make the hose slide on easier and leave no residue. .. Use your finger to apply spit inside the hose. Works good on wood screws also.

[@xoniq-vr]

Never seen this on hoses. We have those plastic quick release connectors, which can pressed in, and released by pulling the cilinder backwards

[@HowToHomeDIY]

Interesting. I have some Metal fittings that I can add to the regular hose ends to do that but haven’t seen them built into the hoses. Appreciate the feedback.

[@xoniq-vr]

@@HowToHomeDIY might be a Europe thing. I’m from Europe (Netherlands). The only place I use threaded copper; is on copper water pipes in the house. Also all garden accessories have the male end which fits on any hose I can buy, so basically hoses have the female quick release fittings (often one end with a disc in it to make the water flow stop if the accessory is pulled out), and the tap or accessories have male ends. To extend houses we use male to male fittings.

[@JahaberSathiq]

Sir I want to No1 quality water hose so which company hose No1 good quality

[@RodneyEtchberger]

In a pinch could I use PVC until I get a collar or copper?

[@HowToHomeDIY]

Sure you could!

[@julieb9215]

Ever repaired/replaced the end of one of the flexible metal garden hoses after it started leaking?

[@HowToHomeDIY]

I have not.

[@julieb9215]

List in phoenix

[@rodchandlerii6922]

I forgot to mention that that clamp is tapered and is larger at one end than the other and should be placed on in a specific Direction

[@reginabivona1282]

You could heat the ends to stretch and slide on easily!!! hair blower!

[@rodchandlerii6922]

That is not called an Adapter it is a male to male Barbed fitting

[@Panotaker]

Buy a better hose with crush proof ends and avoid all this. They are expensive, but they pretty much last forever.

Thumbnail says fix hose in seconds ?

[@HowToHomeDIY]

The thumbnail doesn’t. The title does.

Put the ends in HOT WATER TO MAKE IT MORE PLYABLE..High school science MR TEAMER 19TH GRADE…COME ON BRO……..

Way too much extra talk..get to the point

[@HowToHomeDIY]

At no point did I break away from talking about how to fix the hoses. Maybe try KZbin shorts with that attention span.
