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.

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!

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.

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

RS part no 689-653 does the job, that's BS111 size, i/d 7/16", o/d 5/8",

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.

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.

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
