How to use

To use the Flo 89231 hose mender, first cut the damaged section of the hose cleanly to ensure a straight edge. Slide the hose ends onto the mender fitting, ensuring they are pushed firmly into place. If the fit is tight, you may slightly moisten the end of the hose to facilitate insertion. Ensure the connection is fully seated to prevent leaks during operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your hose diameter is exactly 3/4 inch
• Ensure the hose material is compatible with standard plastic push-fit connectors
• Check the length of the damaged section to ensure the mender can bridge the gap effectively

Usage recommendations

For the best results, ensure the hose ends are cut squarely before installation. If the hose has become rigid due to age, soaking the ends in warm water for a few minutes can make them more pliable and easier to attach to the mender.
