How To Make a Temporary High Pressure Hose Patch in Ten Minutes for $2

[sparkey]

I bought some fittings that make a permanent repair in seconds on high pressure hose. Just cut the hose were it is leaking and slide a tapered metal coupler inside the hose. It comes with 2 parts that slide over the hose first and then tighten around the hose and coupler with a wrench. I keep a few of these on hand.

My thoughts exactly.

Robert,

It appears that the range for the Menards approach is 1/2" to 1".

On the self service side most of us use 3/8" or even the smaller 1/4" hose. Will the 1/2" still work from your experience on the smaller diameter hoses. In other words a workaround???

Yes. I have doubled up on a piece of rubber.
