How to Replace a Damaged Hose Fitting


Squished hose


We are all too familiar with what happens when the car meets the hose. The good news is you don't have to buy a whole new hose. You can fix it, and it's not very expensive at all.

 


First, remove the bad end by simply cutting through the hose.

Plastic fittings
You have a few choices when it comes to fittings. The first is made of plastic and is the least expensive. You insert the hose, tighten the screws and it basically clamps on.
One that may last a little longer is a brass fitting. This one comes with a hose clamp that inserts into the hose. Clamp it down, and it's done. The only downside to this one is that it is a lot of hardware, which could be awkward at the end of the hose.

A third choice is the brass model. This one includes a sleeve that inserts over the hose first and then you insert the fitting onto the end and screw it in.

Whichever you choose, it takes no time to put that old hose back in business.
