Gilmour 805854-1001 Garden Hose Mender 5/8 Inch Brass

Product Description

The GILMOUR 805854-1001 is a brass garden hose mender designed to repair damaged or cut sections of 5/8-inch garden hose. This fitting restores a broken hose to working condition without requiring full hose replacement. Constructed from solid brass, it provides corrosion resistance and reliable sealing under typical residential water pressure. The compact form factor makes it straightforward to install in the field with basic hand tools. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and knowledgeable DIYers commonly install this type of fitting during seasonal hose maintenance or emergency repairs.

This hose mender is suited for residential outdoor water applications including garden irrigation, lawn care, and general-purpose hose runs. It is sized for the most common residential hose diameter, 5/8 inch, making it a widely applicable repair component. The brass construction holds up well in exposed outdoor environments compared to plastic alternatives, and the standard threaded connection style is compatible with conventional hose barb and clamp installation methods.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability in outdoor use
• Sized for 5/8-inch garden hose, the most common residential hose diameter
• Restores a cut or damaged hose section without full hose replacement
• Compact dimensions of 1.6 inches wide by 1.6 inches deep by 5.5 inches long

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement mender for standard 5/8-inch inside-diameter garden hoses used in residential irrigation and outdoor water supply applications.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply completely before cutting or disconnecting any hose section. A hose cutter or sharp utility knife produces a clean, square cut for the best seal. Secure the mender with appropriately sized hose clamps, tightening evenly to avoid distorting the hose. Follow all applicable local plumbing and irrigation codes when installing outdoor water supply components.
