Tefen - 12256208003 Nylon 66 Hose Fitting, Coupling, Gray, 1/2" Hose ID (Pack of 10)

Repaired a yard sprinkler line.

Does its job: check Not made in China: check Two thumbs up. Tefen nylon 66 hose barbs work nicely on 3/4" Swann garden hose. Their fit is tight enough I was glad to have a heat gun to soften the hose. The DIY clamps in my pic were made with ASINs B06Y1VYR9F and B00XWK7SNC. This review is not a compensated promo. I bought all these items.

Perfect for the job I needed it for

The 3/4" Tefen hose fitting slips into standard 3/4" drip irrigation tubing way too easily and leaks heavily when pressurized. Adding hose clamps did not stop the leak. Another brand of connector I found at the local hardware store measures .012" larger in diameter at the largest part of the barbs and it was just tight enough to create a watertight connection. I still gave it 4 stars because it may work on other kinds of 3/4" tubing and the overall quality of the piece looks fine, but they should have better described compatibility in the product description.

I have (4) fifty foot round 5/8” drip sprinkler hoses for flowerbeds. The one that gets sun all day keeps cracking and getting holes . I couldn’t find correct fittings at Lowe’s so I used copper and hose clamps but too expensive. I fixed 2 hoses with 4 connectors and took off my hose clamps and copper for other projects. No clamps needed if you screw these in all the way. Turned water on and Bingo (No Leaks). I saved $50 (cost of 2 new hoses) by buying connectors & repairing these.

I like these to patch garden hoses because they are the same inside diameter. Just use hose clamps or wire ties to attach.

Work fine to repair leaking soaker hose.

Highly recommend this product over the costly metal types.
