Cut the damaged couple of inches off, clamp a brass end on, and the hose is back in service for about the price of a coffee. This kit covers hose with a \u003cstrong\u003e3\/4\" inner diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e — the most common size on older and heavier-duty hose — and gives you both genders so it does not matter which end of the hose failed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 × male GHT hose-end repair fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 × female GHT hose-end repair fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 × stainless steel hose clamps (16–25 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeasure the inside, not the outside\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the one step people get wrong.

Measuring across the outside of the hose includes the wall thickness, and hose wall thickness varies a lot between brands — so two hoses that look identical on the outside can take different barbs. Read the ID printed on the hose if it is still legible; otherwise push a drill bit or a ruler into the cut end and measure the bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHave 5\/8\" ID hose instead?

A repaired end is not weaker than the hose it is attached to; brass outlasts the rubber every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your hose is leaking somewhere other than the end, run through the causes in \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/garden-hose-leaking-at-connection\"\u003ewhy your garden hose leaks at the connection\u003c\/a\u003e before you buy anything — most connection leaks are a washer, not a fitting.
