Why do my above ground hose fittings always drip? What am I missing.
My hose is medium-quality with that spiral slinky kind of ribbing. I'm putting it on the correct-size pvc connectors with hose on one side and threaded on the other. I'm using the usual straps.
I tighten and tighten til I'm sure it's going to break...one of the straps did...and they still always seem prone to drips.
WHAT'S THE TRICK?
Thanks.
Hose fittings always drip - what's the trick?
solved my own problem w/ brute force
No it wasn't the threaded end that leaked (because I had used teflon tape).
I solved my own problem with a three-pronged brute force method:
1) heat the hose with a hair dryer
2) apply some pipe dope inside
3) use two clamps instead of one
Overkill, maybe, but it worked.
