Hozelock O-rings
 

Does anybody know what size O-rings I need for Hozelock garden hose
fittings?
I'm too mean to buy the official spare parts kit which in addition to
a few O-rings also fixes lots of things I don't actually own.
Thanks,
Al

I don't know whether they would fit but I imagine that they would,
Poundland sell Hozelock compatable fittings that could be robbed of
their O-rings.

We actually found that the Poundland spray attachment was far better
than the Hozelock piece of junk.

Take off an existing, good O ring & take it to your local bolt supplier -
they'll have packets of 20 or so for less than the 'official' kits.

Just get a mixed pack of O-rings from a plumber's merchant. It'll cost
next to nothing and those other sizes might come in useful sometime.

That reminds me of a colleague many years ago wanting ONE fibre washer
for some sort of project kit he was building for one of his kids. All
he could get (locally) was a packet of about 200 assorted washers. I
think he threw away about 199 of them...

It's a bit like those bubble-wrapped cards of 100 or so mixed button
cells from the 'pound shop' type of place. You could probably only
need 3 or 4% of them - a superb bit of marketing.

O rings are made to British Standard but I can't remember which
number.
Measure the diameter of the rubber and the ID of the ring then go to a
hydraulic supplier. They will identify which you want for very little
money.

No, but I contacted Hozelock a couple of years ago and they sent me 1/2
a dozen gratis

I tried the dimensions you mention, 3/32 is too small, BS111 is 10.77mm ID x
2.62mm cross section. I have ordered some from ebay and some 11mm x 2.5mm, I
will try to remember to report back which fits best but measurements I did of
a hozelock copy was 11mm x 2.55mm so it should be the BS111. I contacted
sealsuppliesuk who is an ebay seller and they were extremely helpful and I
bought one listing of 10 nitrile o-rings in one size and they said the would
send me 5 of each size to try them, they also offered to determine the correct
size if I posted the hozelock one to them.

I got mine off eBay.

A semi-useful tip. We have a Hozelock reel with, of course, a water inlet
on the side and an inner outlet for the inner end of the hose. There is a
third connector - the 'keeper' for the flapping end of the reeled-up
hose. I nicked the O-ring off there to use until the spares arrived from
eBay.

Some time ago I needed a new washer for a washing machine inlet hose. Could I buy a spare that didn't leak? Could I buggery. In the end I bought a new set of hoses and robbed the washer from that, and it worked fine. ???

Same with shower hoses, always supplied with a fibre washer that'd be OK
with brass coupling but not with plastic.
I now keep a stock of rubber washers and, somewhere (???) the same for
washing machines.

I bought a large case containing dozens of different sized rubber "O"
rings a few years ago thinking I'd never be short of one again.

I've hardly used any, they are always too thick or too thin!

I have tried them now, the BS111 (10.77mm x 2.62mm) seems to be an exact
replacement for the hozelock ones and the nitrile rubber is more chemical
resistant that the normal rubber ones.

I had a problem with a Hozelock pressure sprayer. The large 'O' ring in the joint between the handle and the body no longer was efffective. I contacted Hozelock about a spare and they told me at 9 years old they no longer carried spares. W.T.F.
I cured it with a smear of grease.

Hozelock O' rings are a pain they leak after a very short time so I purchased some oversized O'rings from simplybearings.co.uk a pack of 10
3mm x 10.5 mm cost £4.85
They fit very tightly and never leak

It's as valid today as it was in 2007. I've replaced one hozelock o-ring
this summer and found another one that needed doing today.
