Honeywell JR0980 Male Metal Hose End Mender Coupling

Product Description

The HONEYWELL JR0980 is a male metal hose end mender and coupling designed to repair damaged or cut garden hose ends. It features a patented Posi-clamp design that uses an impact-resistant clamp body and high-grade stainless steel screws to create a leakproof, reusable connection. The stainless steel fasteners resist corrosion and will not strip during tightening. This fitting fits hose inside diameters from 5/8 inch to 3/4 inch and requires only a knife and screwdriver for installation, making it a practical field repair solution for irrigation and general outdoor water supply lines.

This hose end mender is suited for residential garden and landscape irrigation applications where a hose end has been cut, cracked, or otherwise damaged. It is compatible with standard garden hoses in the 5/8 inch to 3/4 inch size range. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and maintenance professionals use this type of fitting for fast hose restoration without replacing the entire hose assembly.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply fully before cutting or repairing the hose. Use a sharp utility knife to make a clean, square cut at the damaged section of hose before inserting the fitting. Tighten the clamp screws with a standard flathead screwdriver until the fitting seats firmly against the hose wall — do not overtighten to the point of distorting the hose body. Follow all applicable local plumbing and irrigation codes when performing repairs on pressurized water supply lines.
