1/2" and 3/4" Hose Mender YM5708
YM5708 is a hose mender in 1/2" and 3/4".
What YM5708 Is
YM5708 is a hose mender in 1/2" and 3/4". It ships on blister card, 240 pieces per carton at 0.056 CBM. It is built around the same clip geometry as the rest of the YIMAY fitting family, so it mates with the connectors and tap adaptors your customer already owns.
Key Benefits
- Published carton data, 240 pieces at 0.056 CBM, so landed cost can be calculated before you order
- One body geometry offered plain soft coated zinc and metal cap so a range steps up in price without changing the fit
- Water stop and lock variants sit alongside the plain version in the same hose size
- Blister card packing across almost the whole family keeps the peg wall visually consistent
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Mixed supplier ranges where one vendor's connector will not seat on another vendor's tap adaptor
- Returns driven by drips at the coupling rather than by any fault in the hose
- Buyers who need a water stop version so the customer can change tools without walking back to the tap
- Peg hook walls that need a visible good better best ladder in the same body shape
What Is Actually In the Box
- Hose size 1/2" and 3/4"
- Retail pack blister card
- Two ended coupling for joining or repairing a cut hose
- Rubber sealing washer at each end

How to Get the Best Out of YM5708
The four points end customers most often get wrong. Worth putting on the pack or in the listing copy.
Step 1
Cut the hose end square before fitting so the seal seats evenly
Step 2
Push the hose fully home against the shoulder before tightening the collar
Step 3
Hand tighten only, a wrench will distort the collar
Step 4
Check the washer each season and replace it before the coupling starts to weep
How YM5708 Differs From Its Siblings
These models share a body family. The difference is finish, size or feature, not fit, which is what lets them sit on the same wall at different price points.
1/2" and 3/4" Hose Mender Soft Coated YM5708e
YM5708e is the soft coated version of the same body. YM5708 is the plain build and carries the lower price point on the same fit.
1/2" Hose Mender YM5808
YM5808 is the 1/2" version of the same part. YM5708 covers 1/2" and 3/4", and both mate with the same tap adaptors.
1/2" and 3/4" Tap Adaptor YM5812
YM5812 is a tap adaptor. YM5708 is a hose mender, and the two are usually sold alongside each other rather than instead of each other.
