Great product and easy to use

Great product and easy to use! I needed to fix a leaking, flapping corrugated hose and didn't want to unwind 50 feet of hose from my hose reel to fix the leaking hose, so I bought a fitting to make the repair a little easier. I have a heavy duty air hose so my air hose OD is 11/16" but I bought 5/8" and 11/16" hose OD fittings just to cover my bases. I found that the 8" by 5/16" diameter fitting put deep grooves in the outer shell of my hose and felt that this could compromise the hose's strength and integrity as others have pointed out. So I used an 11/16 inch fitting and after a full day the fitting was working fantastic. No air leaks or air bubbles in the outer protective cover. I run my air tools at 90psi. Don't worry about higher pressures. One piece of advice I would give users before purchasing is to measure the hose OD by finding the smallest open-end wrench that slides easily on the hose, and that wrench size matches your hose OD, use a properly sized fitting, and you're done Ready to go.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
