Final Assembly and Test

What happens here

The final step is to reassemble the hose and thoroughly test the repair. First, slide the metal outer collar (the piece that was originally removed in Step 1) back over the repaired section of the hose, covering the fabric and newly reinforced connection. Then, screw the brass hose bib connector back onto the hose assembly. Hand-tighten it as much as possible initially, then use the #10 metric Allen wrench to fully tighten it until it's snug and secure, but avoid overtightening. Finally, connect the newly repaired hose to an outdoor water spigot. Turn on the water completely, ensuring full pressure. The presenter lets the water run for approximately 10 minutes, confirming that the repair holds and there are no leaks from the connection.

Goal: Confirm successful, leak-free repair
