Gilmour 801154-1001 Garden Hose Washer 5/8 Inch Vinyl

Product Description

The GILMOUR 801154-1001 is a vinyl garden hose washer designed to create a watertight seal at hose-to-fitting connections. Sized at 5/8 inch to fit standard garden hose couplings, this replacement washer prevents leaks at spigots, spray nozzles, and hose connectors. Made from flexible green vinyl, it compresses evenly under hand-tightened fittings to seat properly without cracking or distorting. Plumbers, irrigation techs, and experienced DIYers keep a supply of these on hand for routine hose maintenance and quick field repairs. The part weighs 0.03 pounds and ships as a single-piece unit.

This washer is suited for residential and light commercial irrigation, garden hose assemblies, and outdoor water supply connections where a 5/8 inch internal hose washer is required. It is a direct drop-in replacement for worn, cracked, or missing washers in standard threaded garden hose couplings. Typical use cases include seasonal hose reconnection, nozzle replacement, and repair of slow drip leaks at coupling interfaces.

Installation Notes

Turn off the water supply fully before removing any hose fitting to avoid uncontrolled water release. Seat the washer flat inside the female coupling before threading the connection — do not fold or pinch the washer during installation. Hand-tighten fittings until snug; avoid using pipe wrenches on plastic or soft-metal hose couplings, as over-tightening can deform the washer and cause leaks. Inspect the seating surface of the fitting for cracks or debris before installing the new washer.
