How to replace the threaded piece on the end of a damage water hose. Read on for the details and a video.
Get a clean, straight cut on the water hose. I used garden shears and scissors.
To get the fitting down into the hose, it helps to lubricate the fitting and the hose first. I used a spray can of synthetic oil. Any oil would work, including food-grade oil.

Male threaded fitting is inserted into the hose.
Be sure to put the metal clamp over the hose BEFORE you insert the fitting to save you a little time and effort.
Tighten the metal clamp with a simple screwdriver. That’s it! It’s fairly easy.
For about $2 worth of hardware, you save the expense of buying a new water hose. I feel good knowing I’m not putting this hose into a landfill.
