Hose Protection and Repair PartsThe small parts that keep a hose in service: a spring protector for the tap end, replacement washers, and the two kinds of screw-clamp repair, the hose end mender and the mid-hose splice. Dramm's menders and splices use nickel plated brass barbs with die-cast zinc and aluminum clamps, so a damaged hose is cut back and rebuilt in minutes instead of being scrapped. Nothing on this page needs a press: the clamps tighten with a screwdriver and the joint is leak proof and re-usable. These are the clamp-on repair parts, not the crimped fitting and ferrule sets that are swaged in the DrammPress.There is one choice and it is simply which part you need. Hose Protector - 5/8 in ID is a steel spring wound over a short hose stub that goes between the tap and the hose to stop the hose end kinking and to take the strain off the coupling; it is 5/8 in inside diameter with 3/4 in male and female garden hose thread. Universal Hose Washer - Bag of 100 is the neoprene replacement washer for hose couplings and hose-end watering tools, supplied a hundred to a bag, and it stays soft where nylon washers go brittle. Hose End Mender Set - 5/8 in and Hose End Mender Set - 3/4 in each contain both a male and a female hose end with screw-tight clamps, which is what you want when the threaded coupling itself has been crushed or torn off. Hose Splice Set - 5/8 in and Hose Splice Set - 3/4 in are the double-ended barb with two clamps, used to cut a damaged section out of the middle of a hose or to join two shorter hoses into one. On the menders and splices the size is the hose inside diameter, so measure the bore and not the thread.Specifications Item A hose protector; a bag of universal washers; hose end mender sets in 5/8 in and 3/4 in; hose splice sets in 5/8 in and 3/4 in Hose Protector 5/8 in inside diameter with 3/4 in male and female garden hose thread; steel spring over nickel plated brass Mender and splice sizes Both the mender sets and the splice sets are made for 5/8 in and for 3/4 in hose Mender set contents One male hose end and one female hose end, each with a screw-tight clamp Splice set contents One double-ended barb with two screw clamps Material Nickel plated brass fittings with die-cast zinc and aluminum clamps Washer material Virgin neoprene, which stays soft and pliable where nylon washers become brittle Tools needed A screwdriver; no crimping press, ring bands or gear clamps Configurations Item Part number Universal Hose Washer - Bag of 100 60-72999 Hose Protector - 5/8 in ID 10-73625 Hose Splice Set - 5/8 in 10-22314 Hose Splice Set - 3/4 in 10-22315 Hose End Mender Set - 5/8 in 60-22312 Hose End Mender Set - 3/4 in 10-22313 Key Features Menders and splices use nickel plated brass barbs with die-cast zinc and aluminum clamps Screw-tight clamps mean no crimping press and no gear clamps Leak proof and re-usable, so a repaired hose can be rebuilt again later Mender sets carry both a male and a female hose end in one set Splice sets take a damaged section out of the middle of a hose Hose protector stops the tap-end kink that destroys hose couplings Neoprene washers stay soft where nylon washers become brittle Ideal Applications Repairing crushed or torn hose couplings in the greenhouse Joining two shorter hoses into one working length Protecting the hose end at a busy hose station or tap Stopping leaks at hose and watering-tool connections Keeping a repair kit on the cart for in-season breakdowns For crimped, factory-style ends on Dramm ColorStorm hose use the fitting and ferrule sets 10-17810, 10-17815, 10-17820 and 10-17825 or the splice and ferrule sets 10-17830 and 10-17840 with the DrammPress frame 72620.
