Is this product appropriate for helping to stop leaking from garden hoses at the connectors? Apply just on the gasket/O-ring or also on threads?

I am NOT sure about putting this on the hose gaskets, but it shouldn't hurt to try I guess.... On my leaking garden hose fittings I just use Teflon tape. It works the best for hose threads. You can buy the tape at any retail store, a small roll is about $.99 cents.

This is more of a gasket sealant. (O-rings and washers) It will work for garden hose gaskets as it is a hydrophobic sealant/lubricant. Typically garden hoses only need good rubber gaskets and clean threads. If you want to seal threads you'll need teflon tape for metal or pipe joint compound for plastics as these are more suited for stronger seals.

It is a lubricant for "O" rings and seals. It should keep the hose washer softer longer; but importantly, it will lube the washer and fitting threads so the hose connection will tighten better, reduce washer galling, and therefore reduce/eliminate leaks.

I used these for striped valve cover threads on an aluminum head. I do not have any leaks to date.

I've had a similar situation. As long as it does not leak, it will still work and is probably sealed well enough even though it is not all the way to the stop. You can use WD40 to lube the threads. That helps sometimes, but don't get it on the o-ring. This may be a sign your unit is needing replaced sooner than later.

Don't know. Absolutely no leakage whatsoever from either of the 2 hoses I purchased. The connection if fantastic. Easy to screw on/off from main connect or hose. My gardeners really like them!

I doubt if it would harm the fittings material, for my purposes, it has always "just worked." Probably the smart move would be to test the sealant on a spare fitting first.

Look like you already got a couple of answers and I agree with them. This just connects as part of the hose to give you backflow protection but the threads are all the same as the hose threads.

The simple solution is to use vasoline on the filter cover threads, that will allow a tighter fit and make removal easier. We do the same thing on our pool pump leaf trap and pool filter. The leaking stops once the housing is tightened. This is an excellent product. Like any product, learn how to use it. And it goes without saying that you must have the gasket in the proper position.

I used it to seal a leaking skylight on the roof. it is still "soft" after 2 years but I don't see how it could seal a garden hose. the pressure would surely blow its way through

I used the product on the rubber seals on my Chevy Avalanche bed cover panels. It did soften the seals, but didn't stop the leaks like I needed.

Where exactly is it leaking, the hose connections? Did you use plumbers seal tape on the connectors? If not, you need to wrap the threads with it then screw on the hoses or you will get leaks.

This product requires a regular screw thread for garden hoses. Even a quick connect type attachment would require the same threads.

Hi Pressure lines have Steel Cords weaved into the hose and I would not recommend using just a seal covering to do any more than get me to the next service station, as a fix. The Silicone sealer does work well, for Low Pressure applications though, or keeping water out of a splice etc.

The rubber gasket is for the older design fittings and is available from Amazon: Nelson 50339 Hose Quick Connector Washer Set. The newer design uses an o-ring for the seal along with a regular hose washer. A good replacement o-ring is a 70 durometer Buna-N with 16mm ID x 20mm OD. I bought 10 off eBay for $3.89 and they work much better than the original. Use a little silicone grease at first. My original o-rings lasted a week ... these replacements were used daily all summer and are still OK.

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.

I don't think so. Where is the leak and what kind of leak is it?I was not impressed. If the leak is under water, i think under-water epoxy is the best joce. It is used on swimming pools and I used it on a leaking pool light connector. It worked great.

I can not answer the question you asked. However, for rubber O-Rings and Gaskets it is the BEST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER USED and I am 65 years old and I use it on all application Pool Equipment, Pressure Washers, Pump up Sprayers.
