YELUN Solid Brass Garden Hose Repair Connector with Clamps Hose End Repair Kit,Fit for 5/8"Garden Hose Fitting,Male and Female Hose Fittings (5/8"-3 Set)

Works like a charm. I have a very large yard and use these quite often. I should have bought more. And I probably will.

These fittings are a great value. They're nice and thick and I like the fact that they come with an extra washer as well. They work just as they should, I've yet to have one leak. They fit a 3/4" ID hose perfectly, the worm drive clamps work well for install and the threads are cut smoothly so they connect together easily.

I bought the 3-pack 5/8" set. I found the quality to be very good. After reading the lower ratings, here are some tips: 1) You will have trouble with hoses ribbed on the inside for kink prevention. This is not the fault of the connector, this style of connector is meant for a hose that's smooth inside. 2) You'll get a cleaner hose cut using a PEX cutter. Inexpensive and handy to cut much more than PEX pipe. 3) It will be much harder to push on the connector if the hose is stiff (i.e. on a colder day, which is when I did the repair). Use a hair dryer to heat up the end of the hose and connector until the hose is flexible prior to pushing on the connector. In my case, I have a rubber hose with a rubber jacket. I could push it on by hand when warm even with the connector being slightly oversized for the hose, as it should be. 4) As with the connector, the clamp will benefit from heating the hose first, and then gently tightening the clamp after making sure the connector is pushed all the way on to the hose (to the connector collar) and positioning the clamp about 1/8" from the end of the hose. This took me under 10 minutes for both ends, looks good, no leaks, and at about $4.20 per hose for both ends it was more than worth it.

I use these to connect soaker hose. Good quality!

Well made, brass means long lasting. I’ve tried other plastic parts that simply don’t fit well and don’t hold up. These are at a reasonable price for an excellent product. Super easy to install. And, of course they won’t rust!
