Replace Damaged Hose Fittings with a Factory-Quality Repair

Use this innovative tool from ELEY to professionally press a durable brass fitting onto a 5/8-inch garden hose. Manufactured using high-quality materials for reliable use with drinking water. This is the only aftermarket kit designed to deliver factory-quality pressing and hose-fitting repair.

  • Do-it-yourself factory-quality pressed hose fittings.
  • Replace damaged hose fittings.
  • Works with most brands of 5/8-inch ID garden hose.
  • Made with durable brass materials for drinking water use.
  • 5/8-Inch full-flow fittings.
  • Will NOT work on collapsable, metal-covered, or washing machine hoses.

Make Custom-Length Garden Hose

Create a custom-length hose by cutting a standard ELEY garden hose to the desired length and pressing on the ELEY fitting of your choice.

ELEY polyurethane garden hoses are available in standard lengths of 6-1/2, 12, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, and 200 feet.

For example, to make a 17-foot hose:

  • Purchase the following ELEY items:
  1. Hose Repair Tool
  2. ELEY Fitting(s) of choice
  3. 25-foot hose
  • Measure from the male fitting and cut the hose to 17 feet.
  • Use the ELEY Hose Repair Tool to press the new fitting onto the cut end.

What do you do with the leftover hose? We recommend buying another fitting and pressing it on that hose's cut end to create another one. In this example, it would be an 8-foot hose. Or you could cut it again and make two shorter hoses.

Create Hoses with Matching Fittings

Need a hose with two male or two female fittings?

Using the ELEY Repair Tool and the appropriate fitting, you can modify a standard hose or create a custom configuration to fit your setup.

Note: ELEY hoses are not intended for indoor washing machine use.

Frequently Asked Questions - Hose Repair Tool
What is the pressure rating of the repair fittings?

Our polyurethane garden hose, which includes our proprietary pressed-on fittings, is rated at 150 PSI. However, the pressure rating of a non-ELEY hose repaired with our repair tool and fittings will depend on the condition, quality, and size of the hose tube and cover.
Are any other tools needed with this repair tool? 

We provide a 5mm x 8mm hex key wrench for use with the repair tool. You can speed the process up by using a power drill with a 5 mm hex bit for tightening the four screws that attach the two halves of the tool together.  We recommend you use the included 8mm hex key tool for hand tightening down the press screw so you can feel the resistance as the fitting gets pressed into the hose. You'll need to use a cutting tool of your choice (common utility box cutter knife works great), for cutting the garden hose.
Can I buy the ELEY polyurethane garden hose without fittings on the ends?

No. We only sell our polyurethane hose in finished, standard-length assemblies, which include one male and one female fitting. 
Does ELEY still make custom-length hoses?

No. Instead, we now offer this repair tool, our full-flow & lead-free brass fittings, and our standard-length polyurethane garden hose from which you'll be able to make your own custom-length hose. Because of the labor-intensive processes involved in making custom-length hoses, we charged considerably more per foot than our standard-length hoses. With this process, you'll end up with two custom-length hoses (should you also choose to press a fitting onto the other cut length) and a garden hose fitting repair tool that can be used to install factory-quality pressed fittings onto almost any brand of garden hose for years to come. No more cheap after-market fitting repairs from the big box or hardware stores.
Do the fittings and this tool work in repairing non-ELEY brand hoses?

We have tested our repair tool and fittings on many hose brands, but not all of them. The outside diameter (OD) range of 5/8-inch hose for effective use with the ELEY garden hose repair fittings is 0.85 to 0.90 inches. We would not recommend it for any collapsible (or self-retracting) hose, hoses with a metal cover, or hoses that have a multi-sided cover. The tool and fittings are designed for a 5/8-inch ID garden hose ONLY.
What is the MIN and MAX hose OD measurements for these repair fittings to work?

A successful repair isn’t so much dependent on the outside diameter (OD) of the hose as it is the wall thickness. Minimum thickness would be 0.10 inch and maximum would be 0.15 inch.  Circular hose shapes only, no polygons. If it is more convenient for you to use the outside diameter (OD) of 5/8-inch hose for effective use with the ELEY garden hose repair fittings, you'll want to look for an OD measurement from 0.85 to 0.90 inches. If you don't have a digital caliper and only have access to a tape measure or a ruler, you'll want to look for an outside diameter between 13/16 and 15/16 of an inch, with 7/8-inch being the sweet spot for an ideal fitting repair.
Are the garden hose fittings made with drinking water safe materials?

Yes. ELEY garden hose fittings are manufactured using high-quality materials commonly used in applications involving drinking water contact, including lead-free brass components that comply with federal lead-free standards.

For more information, see Drinking Water Safe & Garden Hoses: What You Need to Know
Do you offer this tool and repair fittings in a 3/4-inch ID?

No. Sorry. 5/8-inch ID hose only. 
Can an ELEY hose fitting be reused if cut off a hose?

No, they cannot be reused. There is no acceptable method for successfully separating the collar and barbed fitting once they are pressed together.

I don't see my question in this list.

Reviews

I am very pleased with

"I am very pleased with the tool and the solid brass fittings. My garden hose fittings are now perfectly leakproof. Follow Eley's video instructions for total success. Repair Hint: The mistake I made on my first try was to apply silicone plumber's assembly lubricant. Which I normally do on threaded plumbing fittings. However, the hose blew off of the lubricated barbed fitting. Doh!. My second try was to stuff the dry fitting into the hose without lubricant. Resulting in a predictably solid connection."

— Gordon D. (5/5)

What an absolutely marvelous creation

"What an absolutely marvelous creation this is! After years and far too many dollars donated to mediocre repair fittings that never quite fit properly, I was thrilled by the quality, simplicity and effectiveness of this critter. My only “what about” comment regards mounting. I’ve used the tool once and realized rather quickly that in future it must be mounted and that mounting affixed to something to create the necessary stability. This is probably not an issue for the average male, but as a 77 year old female I found those few final turns challenging to say the least. Otherwise, well done! Clear instructional video, very high quality materials (including the fittings) and overall a product I would recommend to anyone."

— Jenny H. (5/5)

Hose repair like no other

"This hose repair equipment and method is so superior to hose clamps and cutting your arms on those clamps, that the expense is well worth it. I shared it family and neighbors, and it’s a hit. Thank you"

— Ronald B. (5/5)

Great tool!

"Super well-made tool that is easy to use and does its job perfectly."

— Martin B. (5/5)

Perfect Hose Termination but …

"… the tool itself has evidence of manufacturing chemicals still on it. Whilst this does not affect functionality (I achieved perfect hose terminations) it’s just a bit shoddy workmanship. Phil"

— Phil H. (4/5)

Doesn’t work for 3/4” hoses as noted

"This is a beautiful made and functioning piece however it won’t work for 3:4” hoses as the collar will not fit around a 3/4” hose."

— David A. (2/5)

Forget Hoseclamps

"If you're looking to repair a hose end and don't want the annoyance of hose clamps then this tool is for you!"

— Darwin W. (5/5)

Great little device!

"Very simple and easy to use. Instructions were plain and simple. I took a few older hoses of considerable length and cut them down to smaller sizes for various other areas of my yard and garden. Using this tool made it very easy to put on new hose fittings. I also bought your male and female hose fittings which are also very well-made."

— John N. (5/5)

"makes good repair"

— David G. (5/5)
