Quite similar to a recent thread but different.
Where can one buy the O rings used in standard garden hose 'push together' fittings? I have quite a number of fittings which are quite serviceable except for a failed O ring.

My local garden centre has packets of 10 or so quite close to the hose fittings themselves.
Garden centres and the like sell Hozelock spares kits.
What you'll end up buying the 'O' ring for you'd be better off buying the push fit connector as its about 95p to £1.10 at least thats what it cost me in a garden center.

Garden centre sources as others have suggested plus they are BS111 size, i/d 7/16", o/d 5/8", 3/32" thickness which may help you finding them at a local engineering supplier. Also available as RS part no 689-653 from
Thank you, excellent, I can probably consolidate an order for these with other odds and sods I need.
ISTR ebay was mentioned as a good source of these last time this issue was raised

You're lucky the fittings have lasted long enough for the O ring to wear out. They must be made of the worst plastic manufactured anywhere. Or perhaps they're never expected to be dropped on a hard surface...
Some of the fittings (though not all) are brass ones! :-)
The usual cause of their demise hereabouts is either me driving over them or one of our horses stepping on them.
Aldi have a box of 382 assorted O rings from Sunday. Don't know if they include the 'Hozelock' size, but it would surprise me if they didn't.
