Garden Hose Fitting for 5/8-Inch ID Hose, Male
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 not tested it on other brand hoses. However, many of our customers have used this tool to attach the ELEY fittings to other brand 5/8-inch ID hoses with excellent success so far. We would not recommend it for any collapsable (or self-retracting) hose or hoses with a metal cover. The tool and fittings are designed for 5/8-inch ID garden hose ONLY.
Are the fittings drinking water safe?
Yes. Our fittings are made from lead-free brass and are 100% drinking water safe.
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.
