Cheap, quick and clean Garden Hose Repair with PEX. I repaired this hose that had a hole in it with a 3/4" PEX B coupling and crimp rings. The benefit to this is that it's easy, the couplings are pretty cheap and they don't leave something to get snagged on as you drag the hose around.
The only con to this is that you will need a hose with an approximate OD of 3/4" and some hoses might be a little thinner, or thicker (if they're thinner, they'll probably stretch, so it should still work).

I was worried you weren't going to line up the stripe. 😅

@MyFortressConstruction 11 месяцев назад

I had an evil thought for a second to mis-align it a little...

I was wondering if you were going to line up the yellow stripe. I suppose we could use the same method to create a new hose end from Pex to Male Hose Threads (MHT). I purchased a similar part for my Rubi TC-125 Wet Saw review video, because the manufacturer provided a 3/4" Iron Pipe Thread adapter (their mistake).

Ah yes, non-plumbers look at the number and cross their fingers that the letters at the end are what they need. I mean, how different could 3/4 MHT be from MNPT? 😆

I'd be interested to see how long this lasts. PEX isn't really designed for moving around, so I'm wondering how long it will take to work itself loses.

Trust it with your life!

@MyFortressConstruction 11 месяцев назад

Me too, though I'm thinking it should hold pretty well since this is basically just replacing the stainless steel clamps that are usually used, for the copper rings. The only way I think this would fail is if the copper rings weren't biting down hard enough, but since it was tight to even get them on, I think it might be perfect. I could try doing a stress test by pulling it apart...

@craftsmanconnection 11 месяцев назад

@@MyFortressConstruction Normal usage should be all the stress test you need. 6 months to a year ought to prove that one pretty good. I have purchased brand new hoses from Home Depot that failed in 1-3 months, and then had to repair it.

@@craftsmanconnection My kids actually did a miniature pressure test by leaving the hose on all day yesterday (there's no longer a visual or auditory clue that it's running). I just found it this morning and still no leaks.

@MyFortressConstruction 10 месяцев назад

So, as of today I have left it pressurized for a week at 60 PSI and it's been used on and off throughout that time. Still zero leaks.
