Can you fix the hose if it ruptures under pressure and splits about 6 inches?

Cut the hose back 6" plus from the end if that is where it split. If it slit in the middle, one would need to splice it with a small PVC pipe, glued and clamped down with two hose clamps. But, that does not seem worth it for a $20 hose. $2$22 with sales tax.

These hoses are a waste of time and money. I have purchased and returned five.

I don't know, ours leaked at the joint to the nossle. My son took ours apart and there is just a plastic clamp that holds it together

I agree with all of you. This pocket hose is a piece of CRAP!! I replaced TWO of them this summer, and now the third one just broke (split at plastic connector and hose). I tried to duck tape-did not work. Anybody else notice that it works for about 2 months, and then breaks after return date? Amazon should remove this from their inventory and issue credit past return date!!

I kind of have to agree with the answer previously posted. Sorry I don't have a better one.

There is always duct tape but not worth the effort. Amazon should remove this item from their inventory. I saw many similar reviews to mine on Amazon but went the Consumer Report recommendation instead. First time I have seen CR get it wrong.

Not sure George but when running at full pressure the hose is pretty stiff. This thing has plenty of power and would do a great job but not sure if the hose would handle that type of work. Maybe you should contact Simpson and see if they make a kit for that or can steer you in the right direction. Bob

Yes and thee rubber on the inside of the hose ruptured. Strongly advise against it.

No but make sure the hose is rated for the incoming pressure (typically not an issue).

I haven't been able to despite using the Coleman high-pressure hose that Coleman says will work........good luck

The connections are a bit loose; my suggestion would be to keep the heavy hose propped up by putting something under it. It seems to me the weight of the hose causes the ends to experience too much stress. Also, I try to minimize the slack by keeping the hose as short as possible. Don't extend it out unless you have to. Hope that helps.

I would use a real flexible hose something from HD or Loews with a 1/4 in. Fitting that's all you need

I do not know the answer to that question as I have never used it without the hose. After looking at the gauge closely I still cannot make a determination as to the feasibility of removing the hose. You can purchase a tire pressure gauge without a hose on line...Sorry I couldn't be more help

I am sorry, but I do not know. You have a lot of hoses, so I guess you might be able to do it. Good luck.

This hose has no guarantee, and it probable that it is going to burst. Had three similar hose all three have bust

I would recommend replacing the hose itself. This stuff could work, but I have no idea whether it can be attacked by gasoline.

If you put 3/8 hose ahead of the 5/16 you should be fine for pressure but if the 5/16 is between the pump and the 3/8 you lose pressure.

No, the hose kit brings a small tube that you have to insert the hose, it should be cut to about 5 cm. from the base and tube hose tied with the new hose above, so you repair from outside not inside, sorry

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?

Adjust the position of the hose weight per the instructions. That should fix it.

As a user who lost the hose (it blew off and sank before I could retrieve it) I would advise either holding the hose when pumping or tape it to the pump. As long as you can find the right diameter hose I don't see any reason why the hose can't be as long as you want. The pump has a strong projectile.

Less than three feet, however, it is best to replace the hose with a better quality hose any length you wish. These kink real bad.
