This durable, green repair fitting allows you to bridge leaks or join two sections of pipe with ease, ensuring your irrigation system remains reliable throughout the growing season.

FAQs
Can this be used on high-pressure industrial hoses?
No, this is designed for standard residential garden hoses and should not be used on high-pressure industrial equipment.
Does it require any glue or adhesive?
No, the repairer relies on a tight friction fit and the structural tension of the hose to remain in place.
Is the material sun-safe?
Yes, it is made from durable polypropylene designed to resist damage from prolonged sun exposure.
Can I use this to join two different hoses together?
Yes, as long as both hoses share the same internal diameter, this unit functions perfectly as a hose joiner.
Should I remove it during the winter?
While it is durable, storing your hoses indoors during extreme winter temperatures will prolong the life of both the hose and the repairer.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking at the connection point
Ensure the hose ends were cut squarely and are pushed fully onto the repairer barb.
Difficulty inserting the repairer into the hose
Soak the end of the hose in warm water for a few minutes to soften the material, making it more pliable for insertion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a successful repair, always use a sharp blade to create a clean, square cut on your hose. Ensure the hose end is free of debris before inserting the repairer. This component is compatible with standard diameter garden hoses commonly found in residential settings. For maintenance, simply rinse the repairer with fresh water if it becomes muddy or coated in soil. Inspect the connection periodically during the season to ensure no shifting has occurred due to heavy pulling or temperature fluctuations.
