Repair a Hose - PEP BB plumbing.sand.tiny.repairhose

Here is my submission for the Plumbing - Sand for Straw Points - Tiny List - Repair a Hose BB.

One of our outdoor hoses leaked at both ends where the hose material connects to the factory-installed fittings
Step 1: check the washer (it was brittle so I replaced it) - the hose still leaks at/in the factory-installed fitting
Step 2: cut off fitting and insert hose barb with male threads
Step 3: attach and tighten hose clamp
Step 4: test - no leaks in hose/fitting connection - the watering wand has a leak in its mechanism so a new one went on the shopping list

The replacement/repair part is a Nylon/ABS Threaded Male Hose Mender Clamp like this one.

To document the completion of the BB, I have provided the following:
   - a before picture of the broken hose - showing the problem
   - an in-progress shot of you repairing the hose
   - an after picture of the newly repaired hose
   - a description of the repair and products used

My brother in law actually found the leak while I was on vacation a few weeks ago.  I must have left the hose on and had a burst in the heat.  

I went to Lowes and grabbed a male repair end and put it on.

Hose blew out at the end. Fixed with plastic compression fitting from the lumber store. The metal fittings I can find here are useless, too shallow in the threads, and fail quickly.

Hello!

I repaired a hose. We were repurposing old soaker hoses, and I needed to replace the female end where it connects to a 'Y'. The soaker hose was a 1/2 inch hose so I needed to purchase the appropriately sized female hose end.

Noticed a wet spot on the ground near the hose connection, picked up the hose and it turned into a sprinkler.

Repaired the hose from the local hardware store, with a quick bicycle trip ~ 5 mins.

Hi take a look at the close ups, the hose had a slow leak and cracked more when I picked up the hose, see the attached pictures. Did not get leak pictures since it was a sprinkler and was discovered at bedtime.

I needed to repair my hose.

First I cut the bad section out

I used bronze connectors to splice the two sides of the hose together.
 
Completed!

I'm so glad I found this BB! I thought I'd have to upcycle or get rid of a leaky garden hose. Thanks, permies!

Finally got off my duff to do it. Here are the results:

Thanks to some over exuberant coyotes that thought my hoses were chew toys, several of my hoses got chewed into multiple pieces this summer.  Here I repair a section of one hose back to working order.  I used this hose repair kit: Jeeker Garden Hose Repair Kit,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09B16KTNM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Hello PEP-folks,
The goose hose end was shot. Threads full of calcified crud (fixable) and bent out of round by being driven over (not fixable). So it was repair time. Total time involved <5min, if you don't count walking over to her pen.
1) Cut hose (big wire loppers worked ok, a PVC or PEX cutter would have cut cleaner, but taken longer to find)
2) Loosen and slide sleeve over hose
3) Insert brass thread nipple into hose
4) Position and tighten sleeve screws over nipple
Presto, hose end repaired.
The Lowe's $5 end repair bit did fine, I have used their stuff before to mend hoses and it has held up. Now the spigot out by the goose can attach to other long hoses, and reach much more of the yard. Hooray.
Happy homesteading,
Mark

I picked up a hose reel on Craigslist and the leader was leaking. The OEM metal collar had cracked, and the section of hose near it was warped. I cut it off below (shout out to Fiskars, the pruners work great) and replaced it with one from the hose repair bucket.
So far, the “unbreakable and leak proof” claim holds out.

Repairing my hose.  My hose got a leak after someone ran over it.  I cut out the damaged part and used a salvaged brass splice mender with two hose clamps.
