• Included in Package: 1 x Underhill 5/8" Hose Brass Coupling Mender, 1 x Zinc clamp with ED finish

HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare the Hose: Using a sharp utility knife or hose cutter, make a clean, straight cut on the damaged section of the hose, removing any frayed or compromised material. If joining two hoses, ensure both ends are cut cleanly.
2. Loosen the Clamp: Slide the included zinc clamp onto one of the hose ends. Loosen the clamp screw enough to allow the hose to slide over the mender's barbed end.
3. Insert the Mender: Firmly push one barbed end of the brass coupling mender into the prepared hose end. Twist the hose slightly while pushing to help it slide onto the barbs completely.
4. Secure the First Clamp: Position the loosened clamp over the brass barb section on the hose. Using a screwdriver (typically a flathead or Phillips, depending on the clamp type), tighten the clamp screw until the hose is securely fastened around the mender, ensuring a tight, leak-proof seal. Do not overtighten, which can damage the hose.
5. Repeat for Second Side (if applicable): If connecting two hoses, repeat steps 2-4 for the second hose end and the other side of the brass mender.
6. Test for Leaks: Turn on the water supply and check the repaired section for any leaks. If leaks are present, gently tighten the clamps further.
