Hose 'e going to fix this?

[down...2 greens]

This isn't strictly boaty, but I know the forum will have a clever answer!

I got one of those no-kink expanding hoses recently and the inner part (the actual hose, if you like) has popped off the push-fit connector. As you can see, it and the outer cover should be held by a kind of crimped metal ring. There's not enough room under the connector cover for a jubilee clip or similar, so any suggestions as to how I can reattach it?

Ideas appreciated as always!

A whipping?

Could be a possibility, though I wasn't sure I'd be able to get it tight enough to hold...

Ive got a hose like that and it has a slight weep halfway along its length. So far it hasn't burst ....
I was going to repair it by using a 1/2" barbed pipe connector with clips. If the end fitting breaks again I will use the barbed fitting to add an ordinary bit of hose and and a hose fitting.
So far I haven't had to try either of these repairs.

Ear clips ?
or
Stainless steel cable ties ??

Obviously defective .... take it back to the shop you bought it from.

The Constrictor knot is probably ideal for this.

He's probably chastising himself for letting it happen. I think that's enough.

Stainless steel cable ties ??

I think that might be a bit too bulky to work as well (I had considered normal plastic ones too).

The Constrictor knot is probably ideal for this.

That could be worth a try - do you think a bit of whipping twine would be strong enough to do the trick?

Polyester whipping twine should be fine.

Mission accomplished - whipping twine and a couple of constrictor knots worked a charm. Thanks everyone!
