1.There are brass repair fittings that press into place with a flange. There are also three part plastic fittings that are held in place with screws. Repair kits are available in both brass and plastic for male and female end fittings and also for repairing midhose leaks.



2.For a pinhole leak, duct tape might work temporarily.



3.If the hose still leaks after you have finished repairing the end fittings, replace the washer.



4.Make sure the hose is threaded onto the faucet tightly to prevent getting wet.



5.Once a hose is beyond repair, cut it into pieces and use for tree ties.
