I guess you have succeeded in being able to use the hose again,BUT you lost A LOT of hose in the process,I guess it is what it is, IF you want to continue to use the old damaged hose/you don't want to replace it/buy a new one, I guess you could add links, from another hose/IF you can buy just the hose or salvage pieces from another hose.

@toddshreve 3 жыл бұрын

Pro tip: Don't use 5/8" hose. You wouldn't think that an additional 1/8" would make much difference, but it does. 3/4" hoses flow SO much better, especially on longer length hoses. On a 100ft hose, expect ~65% more flow. Especially if your plumbing infrastructure is beefy, 3/4" hose will make a hand sprayer or a garden sprinkler feel twice as strong.

@skypallman6169 Жыл бұрын

Actually That depends on what you are looking to achieve. A smaller hose will actually give you more overall velocity. A smaller hose will have more resistance than a larger hose. You will see a 4 psi drop per 100 feet on a 5/8in hose vs a 2 psi drop on a 3/4. So if you want more velocity go 5/8. If you want more over all water flow volume...go 3/4.

@toddshreve Жыл бұрын

@@skypallman6169 Wild. I am curious about the physics of that, but in practical terms, flow is everything. If I place a nozzle at the end of both hose diameters, the 3/4” hose sprays further. I work with hose a lot, lol

@PANZERFAUST90 Жыл бұрын

@@toddshreve With a smaller hose the water travels through it faster so you'll get more pressure output from it.

@teylix 4 күн бұрын

@@skypallman6169 if you didnt have a fitting at the end, that would be true. but having a nozzle (or your finger lol) at the end, a 3/4" hose will give you more velocity due to the higher head pressure at the nozzle.

I've used the crimp on style, the hose clamp and the upgraded clamping style shown in the video. But my personal favorite is one made by Melnor that's all metal and has a compression nut, style 9003 & 9002. They are very low profile and don't interfere with hose reels and can't get caught on anything. Repaired 2 hoses that had bad connectors from the factory with these 20 years ago and they are still working great.

I've repaired several hoses over the years and only buy the premium hoses as they don't kink anywhere near as easy as a cheap hoses. They also tend to last the longest as well. I have also cut down longer hoses to make the exact size I need. I've used and liked the Gilmour Aluminum "sandwiched" type like you show and while the work great they are a bit bulky. I have been using the Orbit Brass hose menders and while they are a pain to install on thicker preminum hoses they look like a factory connection and don't hang up or get caught while dragging the hose around. Look for model numbers 56801N/56802N/56803N.

@ahmadghosheh3104 3 жыл бұрын

I recommend using a heat gun after you finish attaching the clamps and heat the rubber ends to shrink them a little bit around the brass fittings. From my experience it helps secure the fitting especially under pressure in a pressure washer.

i had that way of thinking too actually, but i just tried the inline clamp today from Lowes and its definitely better than using the normal clamp styles. Old hoses still have uses if they arent totally messed up though.. ended up fitting a previously used one into the bottom of a bucket a few weeks ago to catch leaking water from exit pluming when water is being used which was making the crawl space a little wet. And Boom, when the water gets high enough in the bucket the hose drains it to the sump pump so no more wet crawl space :)

The water was completely empty so I found a stick and whittled a hole in it and twisted and stuffed it inside. Out the one clamp I had and it worked so well it stayed like that for 3 months until I winter came I fixed it. I think it could have went three more months lol.

One roll of mechanics wire or tie wire can be had for the price of a pack of zip ties. Tie wire makes good hose clamps that last longer than Chinese zip tie plastic. Another tip if your using bulk pipe as your union fitting is to use a tubing cutter to score some lines where your clamps are going to be. The score lines act as an ad hoc barb fitting.

The first method involving hose clamps works the best. The repair kits are 'ok' but IMHO don't hold as firmly as the ring clamps. Lastly: estate sales and thrift shops often sell perfectly great used hoses for really cheap. I recently purchased a nice one for $5... not much different than a repair kit.
