Use this innovative tool from ELEY to professionally press a durable brass female fitting onto a 5/8-inch garden hose. Manufactured using high-quality materials for reliable use with drinking water contact. The only aftermarket kit designed to deliver factory-quality pressing and hose-fitting repair.
Create a custom-length hose by cutting a standard ELEY garden hose to your desired length (measured from the male fitting) and pressing on this ELEY female fitting.
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:
Need a hose equipped with two female fittings? No problem. Cut off the male fitting and, using our repair tool, press this fitting on in its place.
Watch this video to see how the repair tool works with the ELEY fittings using the included 5mm x 8mm hex key wrench.
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.
No. We only sell our polyurethane hose in finished, standard-length assemblies, which include one male and one female fitting.
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.
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.
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.
No, they cannot be reused. There is no acceptable method for successfully separating the collar and barbed fitting once they are pressed together.
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.

No. Sorry. 5/8-inch ID hose only.
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.

"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."
"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."
"These are extremely high quality products. The only wish I have would be that they be available in different size fittings."
"Highest quality but a bit more bulky than normal fittings. Should last forever with occasional changes of the gasket."
"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!"
"Easy installation with Eley garden hose fitting repair tool."
"Fixed my problem with my very well used expensive hose"
"Substantial construction, works well."
"Top-notch product that should last a very long time. If you want junk, don't buy this."
"This is the best garden-hose-repair fitting available. . . . by a very large margin."
