I recently just purchased a brand new hose. The plastic threaded ring part at the end that you screw into a nozzle cracked and fell off. All I have now is bare hose. How do I replace the plastic part at the end, and can I replace it with a metal one?
Thank you for your help!

Yes, you can and they sell brass fittings in a complete hose repair kit in the garden center at the home improvement stores. I like the one I used because it even has its own turn off valve right at the end of the hose and you can still attach other sprayers.

If there's bits of broken plastic left, cut the hose behind it so that the end is square and even.
Go to a hardware store and ask for a hose repair kit. You can get just a male or female, or both if you need them. Follow the directions, and you'll be back in business in no time.

If it's brand new take your receipt and the garden hose back to the store get your money back and get a different brand because the repair will not be as good as the original.

i assume the bubble-burst spot is on the element of one end of the a hundred feet of hose. you may desire to purchase substitute ends for the hose (woman connector for the hose end going onto your outdoors faucet; male connector for the hose end going into the female connector of the nozzle); Wal-mart in all threat has such as we talk of 365 days. they vary in cost from $2 to $5; you may even discover them for much less in case you seek no longer hassle-free. it truly is substantial to get the perfect "gender" and appropriate length; generally the size would be the two 5/8 inch or a million/2 inch. to stay away from having this waste/loss interior the destiny, be sure hubby turns off water on the faucet and not AT HOSE NOZZLE.

Yes you can replace plastic hose connections with metal ones. You can find repalcement connectors at most hardware stores. They come in a kit, or separately.
