Frequently Asked Questions - Male 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.
Are the fittings drinking water safe?
ELEY hose fittings are made using high-quality materials, including durable brass, and are designed for use with drinking water.
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.
