Gilmour 801704-1003 Garden Hose Washer Rubber 10-pack

Product Description

The GILMOUR 801704-1003 is a rubber garden hose washer designed to create a watertight seal at standard hose connections. Constructed from rubber, this washer fits hoses with a 0.525 inch outer hose diameter and a 5/8 inch inside diameter. It is sold in a pack of 10, making it a practical stocking item for irrigation professionals, plumbers handling outdoor water supply lines, and facilities maintenance crews who service garden hose bibs and hose-end fittings regularly. The red color aids quick identification in a parts tray or service bag.

This washer is used wherever a standard garden hose threads onto a spigot, hose bib, spray nozzle, or quick-connect fitting. It is suited for residential irrigation systems, commercial landscape maintenance, and light-duty outdoor plumbing applications. The rubber material provides flexibility and compression under tightening, which helps maintain a leak-free connection across repeated connect-and-disconnect cycles.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools — seat the washer fully into the female hose coupling before threading the connection. Shut off the water supply at the hose bib before replacing worn washers. Finger-tighten the fitting first, then snug with pliers if needed; avoid overtightening, which can distort the rubber and cause leaks. Inspect the washer for cracks or flat spots whenever a hose connection drips at the coupling.
