Why Is My Expandable Hose Leaking at the Connector? Quick Fixes.Updated 4 hours ago
Most connector leaks come from a loose fit, a missing washer, or debris inside the fitting.
Expandable hoses commonly leak when the rubber washer inside the connector is missing, damaged, or not seated properly.
Pocket Hose sprayers include three extra rubber washers, and only one should be inside the fitting at a time. Over-tightening can warp connectors, while cross-threading prevents a secure seal. Check for debris or mineral buildup inside the connector, as this can also cause leaks.
Key Takeaways:
Ensure exactly one rubber washer is installed
Avoid cross-threading or over-tightening
Remove debris from connectors
Replace worn washers for a quick repair
