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.

For more information, see Drinking Water Safe & Garden Hoses: What You Need to Know
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 have bought at least

"I have bought at least 4 sets of these fittings and installed them on several of my legacy garden hoses. Not one of them has ever failed me! For 50 years, I've installed fittings on my hoses from the big box stores and they have all eventually failed. . . . usually sooner than later. ELEY FITTINGS ARE THE BEST-EST FITTINGS EVER!!!!! Their new assembly tool is beyond compare. . . . it works flawlessly!!! THANK YOU ELEY FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CARE FOR MAKING A QUALITY AMERICAN PRODUCT. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!! A+++++"

Awesome stuff

"Their hose mending system is just second to none. They work very well, easy to do and look like factory done. After so many years of repairing with other stuff I am pleased. The hose seems nice but that needs a bunch of time to comment on. But if anything like the hose mending system I’m sure to be impressed."

— Bob (5/5)

This is a high-quality and

"This is a high-quality and durable tool that I have needed for a long time. It is the best solution for repairing damaged hoses and making custom-length hoses. I made some for my hothouse and to run from my outdoor faucets (hose bibs) to my hose reels that are set up at the end of my walkway. It is the perfect way to eliminate unnecessary coils of hose that can be a trip hazard and an eyesore. The fittings that are used with this tool are also high quality and lead free. Perfect."

— Donald M. (5/5)

Solid precisioin

"I discovered Eley in 2025 but the tools and fittings were sold out all summer. In 2026 I ordered early! The tool itself is designed very well. Using threaded steel inserts in the aluminum body of the tool guarantees the threads on the steel bolts will not damage aluminum threads and destroy the tool. The fittings are heavy, thick brass,. Their threads are sharp and deep. I don't know whether they are rolled or cut but whatever machining method used was properly done. No burrs, no misalignment. The integral o-ring seals work perfectly. I have used a variety of hardware-store replacement fittings in the past but none lasted very long. On those, the threads in the female fitting (thin brass) did not hold up well, exhibiting excessive corrosion even though the spigots are all bronze. This made them very difficult to fully engage with the spigot and resulted in chronic leaking at the joint. Eley fittings are superior in every way. You can see and feel their quality. The tool works perfectly. There is no leakage. I have no problem believing they will outlast the hoses to which they are attached."

rock solid

"Love all Eley products. 95% of my hose failures are at the ends, gonna go 100% Eley ends"

— Colin S. (5/5)

Excellent product

"These are extremely high quality products. The only wish I have would be that they be available in different size fittings."

— Jennifer U. (5/5)

Highest quality but a bit

"Highest quality but a bit more bulky than normal fittings. Should last forever with occasional changes of the gasket."

— George K. (5/5)

Great products!

"These are great products! The repair fittings are the best I’ve ever found. It does take your proprietary press, but they work! I’ve changed out all my hoses and reels and hand spray nozzles to Eley with no regrets!"
