In order to get a good seal it's very important that if your hose has any significant internal ribbing like mine does (see below) that you trim them back where it contacts the barb to create an even circular interior. This will ensure a good even seal and prevent water from escaping around the clamps\/barb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBefore Trimming:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cimg class=\"image_resized\" style=\"width: 50%\" src=\"https:\/\/makerworld.bblmw.com\/makerworld\/model\/DSM00000000662135\/design\/337e8246-503a-4233-8d64-6509f830fd7e.png\"\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter Trimming off troublesome ribbing:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cimg class=\"image_resized\" style=\"width: 50%\" src=\"https:\/\/makerworld.bblmw.com\/makerworld\/model\/DSM00000000662135\/design\/c1190e3d-002a-4a4a-83c3-16b74c802f24.png\"\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThird, install the 8 pins (on each side) so that the little teeth point inward near the top of the barb as shown. They should press-fit in place. If they don't for some reason, they're easy and quick to reprint at a slightly smaller size (99.5-99% should do it).\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cimg class=\"image_resized\" style=\"width: 50%\" src=\"https:\/\/makerworld.bblmw.com\/makerworld\/model\/DSM00000000662135\/design\/0db6da82-b5bb-452f-a9e1-538a0a53d936.png\"\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLastly, put the caps back on and screw it firmly clockwise to cause these pins to compress down on the hose. You may use a pair of pliers to torque it if you wish. The threads may be tight initially and a little bit of working them back and forth ahead of time and\/or a little vegetable oil may make this part smoother. Depending on the thickness of your hose you may not be able to completely screw the cap all the way, and this is OK. The point is to have the cap compress the retaining pins. Your final result will look like this:\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cimg class=\"image_resized\" style=\"width: 50%\" src=\"https:\/\/makerworld.bblmw.com\/makerworld\/model\/DSM00000000662135\/design\/9c7e01a9-3ed1-4e49-ac0b-8b729ae62bb4.png\"\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesign by Adam L on MakerWorld (license: BY-SA).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mymadmanlab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67368106819888,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/0809\/5280\/files\/0_a16876c0-7ac7-45ce-8c4d-8a8d73657d3f.jpg?v=1784020984","url":"https:\/\/mymadmanlab.com\/products\/garden-hose-healer-hose-to-hose","provider":"Mymadmanlab.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
