Product Overview
Replacement rubber washer for a garden hose end cap. It is the seal that makes the cap watertight.
Important — The Cap Is Sold Without a Washer
CCW's Garden Hose End Cap (BR325) is supplied without a washer. If you are buying a cap, buy a washer with it — a cap on its own will not seal.
Why It Fails
Hose washers compress, harden and split. A cap that leaks has almost always got a washer that has taken a permanent set, and no amount of extra tightening fixes it — over-tightening a hardened washer is what splits the cap.
They are cheap enough to replace on sight rather than at failure, and worth keeping a few of in the van.

The manufacturer does not publish the washer dimensions. Rather than estimate them, we have left them out — it is the standard garden hose size, and if you are matching an unusual fitting, ask us first.
Operating Advice
- Seat it flat in the cap before threading the cap on. A washer sitting proud gets pinched and split on the first turn.
- Hand tight is enough. If it needs a tool, the washer is the problem, not the torque.
- Replace it whenever the cap comes off for any length of time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the end cap come with one?
No. The BR325 cap is supplied without a washer.
My cap still leaks with a new washer — now what?
Check the cap's sealing face and the hose thread for damage. A washer cannot seal against a chewed thread.
Will it fit any garden hose fitting?
It is the standard garden hose washer size. If you are matching something unusual, ask us before ordering.

What We See in the Field
A $2 washer is the part nobody carries and everybody needs at the worst moment. The cap is usually fine; it is the washer that has gone hard sitting in the sun on the back of a truck.
