Troubleshooting
Hose leaks after installation
Ensure the screw-down collar is tightened sufficiently. Check that the hose is pushed completely onto the brass connector's barb. Verify that the hose is the correct 1/2" diameter and that the cut ends are clean and even.
Difficulty pushing hose onto the connector
Slightly warming the end of the hose in warm water can make it more pliable. Ensure the hose end is cut cleanly and squarely. Check that you are using the correct 1/2" diameter hose.
Repairer does not fit hose
Confirm that your hose has a 1/2" diameter. This repairer is not compatible with other hose sizes (e.g., 3/4").
Brass connector appears discolored
This is normal for brass exposed to the elements and does not affect performance. Clean with a damp cloth if desired.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Assess the Damage: Identify the damaged section of the hose or determine where you need to join two hose ends.
- Cut the Hose: Using a sharp blade or hose cutter, make a clean, straight cut through the hose on either side of the damaged area, or at the point of joining.
- Prepare the Ends: Ensure the cut ends of the hose are clean and free of debris.
- Insert the Repairer: Slide the screw-down collar of the repairer onto one end of the hose.
- Attach the First End: Push the cut end of the hose firmly onto one side of the brass connector.
- Secure the First End: Slide the collar back over the hose and screw it down tightly onto the connector barb. Ensure the hose is fully seated on the connector.
- Attach the Second End: Repeat steps 4-6 for the other cut end of the hose.
Compatibility:
- Hose Diameter: This repairer is specifically designed for hoses with an internal diameter of 1/2 inch. It will not fit hoses of other sizes.
- Connection Type: It acts as an inline connector, suitable for joining two hose ends that would typically connect to a tap or nozzle.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the brass connector with a damp cloth as needed to remove dirt or debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the brass finish.
- Storage: Store the hose and repairer in a dry place when not in use to prolong its lifespan. Ensure connections are not left under constant pressure if not in use.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the tightness of the screw-down collars to ensure a secure connection, especially after periods of non-use.
