Gilmour 870014-1001 Garden Hose Seal Rubber

Product Description

The GILMOUR 870014-1001 is a rubber garden hose seal designed to create a watertight connection at hose couplings and fittings. Made from rubber, it compresses against hose end fittings to stop leaks at the point of connection. This replacement seal fits inside standard hose couplings and is a routine maintenance item for irrigation systems, outdoor water lines, and general-purpose hose assemblies. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and property maintenance personnel commonly stock these seals for quick field repairs. The compact profile — 0.5 inches in length and 2.88 inches in width — makes it easy to carry multiples on a service vehicle.

This seal is suited for residential and light commercial applications wherever a standard garden hose connects to a spigot, nozzle, timer, or manifold fitting. It is a direct replacement for a worn, cracked, or missing hose washer and is typically swapped out during seasonal startup, after freeze damage, or any time a coupling shows signs of dripping at the connection point. Sold as a single unit, it fits neatly into a parts kit or toolbox tray.

Installation Notes

Turn off the water supply and relieve pressure from the hose before removing the old seal. Seat the new seal flat inside the hose coupling recess, ensuring no folding or misalignment before threading the fitting onto the spigot or attachment. Hand-tighten first, then snug with pliers — avoid overtightening, which can distort the seal and cause leaks. No special tools or permits are required for this type of repair.
