Frequently Asked Questions - Female Hose Repair Fitting
What is the pressure rating of this repair fitting?
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.
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 crimp a fitting onto the other cut length) and a garden hose fitting repair tool that can be used to install factory-quality crimped 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 the repair 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, like the one pictured. 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.
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.
Is the garden hose female fitting made with drinking water safe materials?
Yes. The ELEY female hose fitting is manufactured using high-quality materials commonly used in applications involving drinking water contact, including lead-free brass components and a durable EPDM rubber washer. These materials comply with federal lead-free standards.

Do you offer a tool and repair fittings in a 3/4-inch ID?
No. Sorry. 5/8-inch ID hose only.
Are any other tools needed with this repair tool?
We provide a 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. You'll need to use a cutting tool of your choice for cutting the garden hose, where you'll press on and attach the new ELEY fitting.

Reviews
I was able to get
"I was able to get this mounted without Eley's special tool and save the $50. No doubt the tool would've made it much easier, and if I was using a bunch of these I'd probably spring for it. It's now a 10x better connection than the factory one from the hose (I mean, that one did break after all). Such a beautifully machined and solid chunk of brass, I have no doubts that this Eley connector will outlast the hose. And I WILL be removing it before throwing the hose away."
The very best
"Incredible quality and, in my experience, the only hose repair components worth using. The required repair fixture is also superb."
Made the hose good as new!
"I had the hose connected to a cheap hose real for years. The connection from the real oxidized and made it so the only solution was to cut the end off. I purchased the new fitting and the tool to reattach it and it worked perfectly. Super simple to do. I probably will never have to replace it again because I purchased the Eley hose real as well. My hose and real in my back yard is all Eley and it’s never had an issue with corrosion or anything else. Yeah it’s expensive but it lasts forever."
Excellent connectors
"I am very pleased with these connectorz. It is a quality product that last."
Great job!
"Easy to place orders. Instructions are clear and accurate."
Makes a very effective repair.
"Makes a very effective repair. Professional looking"
Great Product!
"I have tried other brands with poor results. This stuff works great! I have had competition stuff that was sharp, leaks and fails."
Good product
"the fittings are nice heavy duty and the set up and process is easy."
No more leaky or ill installed hose connector replacements
"This product is only a few more dollars than traditional repair connectors, but 1000 times better. The tool and process for using these connectors takes so much of the margin for error. I highly recommend."
