tipid tip para sa butas na garden hose

[agamulak]

cut it at the leaking part then join them together via a threaded 2"-3" X 3/8" dia. gi nipple, (mas ok kung pa-screw ang pagsuot -he!-he! ;D) then secure each splice by hose clamps or just securing them by gi wire (yun bang gamit sa rebars) wrapped 2x around tightly, preferrably at the threaded part. I use pliers to hold two wire ends and my other hand to hold the splice while applying pulling force as I twist the wires until it is secured tight. You can also turn on the water fully as you do this so you can be sure there are no leaks.

Note: kung mejo mahirap isuot o maliit dia. hose, itapat mo lang sa apoy sandali para lumambot, also some hose become stiff due to age at mahirap talian, nag-leleak. Ganun din gawin mo para lumambot basta wag mo lang pag-aapuyin sakit mapatakan ng nagliliyab na plastic.
Also I find pvc pipe is not suitable for this job, natatanggal lang lalo kung malakas pressure (we have around 70 psi from NAWASA)

I think may nabibiling pang-repair para dito sa mga mall hardwares, but this a lot cheaper.

Nice tip. I remember my father wrapping those rubber strips kids use for making slingshots around our garden hose. They would eventually leak because once the water is turned off the repaired section easily collapses.

I suggest anyone who needs those hose coupler should shop around. A few years ago the wife and I were into saltwater aquariums and I was often working with all things for moving water around. Anyway, in the quest to find the best but cheapest stuff, I noticed that the price of these hose fittings can vary as much as 200%. One store will have couplers for P100 while another store has an equivalent for P35.

Last tip: When grocery shopping, escort the wife to the supermarket and then slip away to go browse the hardware store. Just make sure you get back before its time to pay, and she won't mind so much the pack of screw, the roll of tape, or a few clamps you picked up.

ako i use hose mender ba tawag don. available sa ace/hanndyman. mga less than 50 pesos lang. just cut the hose and use the mender to connect

I use spare or mga pinagputulan ng curtain rods and the very old reliable bicycle interior.... Before inserting the rod inside the hose i wind two to three rounds of the interior rubber on the end that will be inserted into the hose para mahigpit and also to serve as a water seal. Then I wind the unwound part of the rubber on the hose to lock the rod in place. I do the same on the other end. Try mo lang... its effective and cheap...
