My hose is leaking around the thread, the O ring is in...just leaks...should this thread on and fix it?

replace the O ring with a flat washer first. These hose ends are the best I h have used if you need to replace your existing hose ends.

My experience with this product were not good. I also experienced leaking problems, clogging (water flow stoppage) and sticking of the fitting on hoses, but the corrosion was the worst in the long run. It ruined two expensive garden hoses that are now fused to the fittings. My recommendation is to ditch the Orbit quick connect fittings and be happy that someone warned you.

Probably not. Try a standard rubber washer in place of the o-ring. Not the slightly smaller plastic ones that always leak for me. If it leaks with any of the 3 alternatives then try a different accessory. If it still leaks then you could have a defective thread on your hose. I've encountered this with several cheap hoses and started buying higher quality ones. They are also cheaper per year than the cheap hoses. Here in the Denver CO area, for 50/60 feet, cheap is $10 while good is $30-35 and excellent about $50-60.

The quality of threads on hoses varies so much that it could be the problem itself. This may or may not fix it .

I haven't. It seems that there is no fitting for that thread. It is some sort of "self threading" thread. I've the nozzles threaded to an 1/8 rubber hose and they hold there ok, but with the time they will start to leak so you will have to replace the hose.

What part is leaking? Have you checked to be sure everything is set in and tightened ?

If it is leaking inside the connector, you need to put a new washer in to allow the connection to be tight. If the fabric of the hose itself is torn by the end connector the the hose is done for and you should take it back to three you purchased it for a refund.

No.. your unit appears to have ta threaded end and a universal quick disconnect. This hose has the universal quick disconnect on both ends.

The threads are for a garden hose (sorry, don't know diameter but it's pretty close to 3/4" pipe with different threads). Mine's connected to a camper trailer water line, but worked fine on a regular water hose while I figured out the best location. There are pipe thread to water hose adapters available.

We love our hose and it is the best we have ever seen. My husband says it must be missing the "O" ring inside the female connector that attaches to the motorhome/trailer. Without the seal, it will be loose. It shouldn't be used until the seal is in place.

I too had problems with it leaking. I am not using this, but went back to a plastic hose coupler. not perfect, but better that this device. G

You need to apply the teflon tape in all thread joints and it will stop the leak. Good luck. Tony

Did the manufacturer help you out? I have the same issue. My fuel line is leaking.

Not sure how you managed that...as every hose has both a female and male thread; my guess is that you attached it to an unorthodox female fitting that was attached to your supply valve (which are always male thread)...with that said...this hose sprayer as much as I dislike it...is a standard 5/8 hose thread.

I have used mine a few times with no leaks even left it hooked up a few hours to test and it held set pressure. Maybe try new male connector on your hose and see if it helps

More info needed. It could be hose thread or M22 and anything in between. What is the application? What are you connecting to and is it under pressure?

Unfortunately the "O" ring that comes with the housing is the wrong diameter. The housing leaked when reassembled. I had to use the old O ring and then had no leak.

Buy some new Dramm rubber gasket washers for the female end. This solved my leaking problem.

the hose goes over the non threaded fitting and you use a screw clamp to tighten it down. Hope this helps

I would recommend using Vaseline on the rubber o-ring. This will help with the seal.
