Important: This is a hose-end repair fitting used with the ELEY Garden Hose Fitting Repair Tool. It is not a quick-connect plug or socket.
This ELEY female garden hose fitting can only be pressed onto a 5/8-inch garden hose using the ELEY Garden Hose Fitting Repair Tool.
If you don’t already own the repair tool, please use the button below to purchase the tool before installation.

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.

"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."
"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."
"I have tried other brands with poor results. This stuff works great! I have had competition stuff that was sharp, leaks and fails."
"the fittings are nice heavy duty and the set up and process is easy."
"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."
"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+++++"
"American quality brass fittings and an easy to use tool for installation. No more leaks!"
"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."
"Like it, it's really great"
