How to fix leaking garden hose?

Hey,

I have an issue with my hose. Its new but has always had issues staying nice and tight to the spray gun and leaking. It locks in place and is nice and firm then I turn the water on and it comes apart a few mils and starts dripping. Tried different spray guns and same thing. Connect to another hose same thing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Emily 🙂

Hello @EmilyK

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about your garden hose.

Some garden hose fittings require that you push the spray gun firmly into the hose connector once its linked together. You'll often hear a secondary "click" and the spray gun becomes very firmly connected to the garden hose. But before we proceed any further would it be possible for you to post a photo of your garden hose connector and the spray gun. This will give our members a better idea of what model you have. We can then make recommendations on how to proceed.

If you need a hand posting the photos, please let us know.

One should never make assumptions - but if they're all plastic fittings, I've found better results (sealing) with brass or aluminium fittings.

And despite being new - have a close look at the O-rings.

Cheers.
