Garden Hose Fitting Repair Tool - 5/8 Inch Hose

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 press a fitting onto the other cut length) and a garden hose fitting repair tool that can be used to install factory-quality pressed 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 this 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.  In addition, many of our customers have used this tool to attach the ELEY fittings to several other brands of 5/8-inch ID hoses, with excellent success.  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.  

Are the fittings drinking water safe? 

Yes. Our fittings are made from lead-free brass and are 100% drinking water-safe. 

Do you offer this tool and repair fittings in a 3/4-inch ID?

No.  Sorry. 5/8-inch ID hose only. 

I've cut a fitting off a new ELEY hose.  Can I reuse this fitting?  

Unfortunately, no.  There is no acceptable safe way for the collar and barbed fitting to be disassembled and separated once pressed together. 

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.
