What happens here

While the hose end is still hot and pliable, quickly take the barbed insert portion of the male fitting. Orient the barbed end towards the hose opening and push it firmly into the hose. The flexibility of the heated hose will allow the barbed ridges to easily enter and create a snug, secure fit. Continue pushing until the barbed section is fully seated within the hose, often until the base of the barbed section meets the cut end of the hose.

Goal: Securely push the barbed part of the new fitting into the softened hose

Tools and materials

  • Barbed fitting — The internal component of the hose repair kit that creates a watertight seal inside the hose
  • Softened garden hose — The garden hose with its end made pliable and ready for fitting insertion

What they say

Now we've got to put this piece right here in here. You had a heat gun, you could do that. If not, just boil some water. Just hold your hose in the hot water real quick and you'll see it's going to start getting real pliable. Take this bad boy, pepper right on in there. Took it and pushed it down on here a little bit. Got it the rest of the way on. It's right here, says fitting. Got a little arrow. This little bell inside. Gonna pop right on there. Get that bad boy pushed right up there on it.
