A Hole In My Hose

[simon]

is there a way of mending the hole , it seems a waste to just get a whole new length - its near the middle so i cant just cut it off

 

[shreck123]

you could cut the pipe and put a joint in it they sell the joints on ebay

i've been lucky so far then! my hoses havent got any yet! and they have had buses, cars, lorrys, tractor and vans all over them as i have to park van one side of the road and the house i clean is on the other side with no car parking area!

my hose is the soft yellow one that gardiners have stopped selling cos they got complaints about it i think, but i've used it every working day since i got it 15 months ago & this is the first hole so its done me well. i know i've seen a video somewhere about hose repair involving fishing line but i just cant find it. also my hose is 6mm & the joins rc recomended look good but are 8mm to 8mm. im sure ive seen plastic ones somewhere but i cant find them either

these will work as well, cut the hose, heat the 2 ends of the hose into hot water and wait then push the O clips over hose then push the metal joint into the hose. then when its cool it will make a better connection.

DONT use plastic as if a car or anything runs over it it could break and thats the end of that!
