I pushed that O-ring back in and it came back out again. I dried it out and put "Shoe Goo" glue around the side of the O-ring, pushed it back in and let it sit two days. I tried it again and it worked properly with no leaks. That was just one use so I hope the Shoe Goo holds. The package says it's waterproof. The glue is clear.
I've had this nozzle for the past 2 years. They either leak or won't shut all the way off. They seem to only last one season. Orbit makes a PRO model similar to this but it doesn't have mist. It only has 5 patterns. You get flat, full, cone, jet, and shower. If you don't need other settings, this nozzle should last much longer.
Looks like the o ring is still leaking and it can't be replaced since it's not an ordinary o ring you can purchase. Maybe someday someone will manufacture a nozzle that lasts more than one season!
Thanks! For those that have a little different Orbit 7 sprayer - everything looks the same until you remove the screw and open it up- black on the inside not white. The center part is longer and my o-ring didn’t go in the center, i tried it that way, and it was still spraying wrong - it went into the small circle where the water comes out. Not sure if mine is older or newer than yours. Got it at Costco, I think 2 or 3 years ago, I’m not sure how old mine is.
Thanks for sharing that but it still looks like it leaks a lot more than what it should.

OMG, thank you for making this video as I’ve thrown out A LOT of these nozzles
Looked like it was leaking the whole time 🤣
It will work better if you also put a washer on the screw so you can tighten the cap a little bit more after you put the O-ring back into the nozzle.
fixed my leaky garden hose after watching your video. thank you!

“Looks pretty good”. Still leaking the same amount 😆
I liked when it work. I have very little nice things that bring me joy and with inflation absolutely going insane, i want it working

Thank you & thank you for having someone else film! Watched another video & guy couldn’t effectively film himself fixing the hose!
Thanks chief 😎👍
Thanks, my o-ring was worn, replaced it and it don't leak now.
Did you replace with an o ring or a washer? Also, what size?
Awesome quick fix .
Where can you find an O-ring for it?
It's a washer but I can find the size.
Thank you so much, exactly what you said and as easy as you said
Is this JamesMadisonAquatics?
How do you lubricate an orbit nozzle that gets stuck? I sprayed WD-40 and it didn't make a difference. Thanks
Where do I get a new one? What's the type and size?
Yes, but it is still leaking around the dial. Mine does also new out of the box.
Thank you!
My thumb turn on is not moving
That didn't work bud...it still the same!!
Never seen it fall out, but your O-ring is bad since it is dropping off too much.
Orbit SUCKS
I wouldn't call that fixed. its still leaking all over you
It will fall into the same issue sooner or later.
😒 hmmm? I’m not an expert but something just doesn’t seem right.
Worst nozzle I ever bought
Huh? It's still leaking. Anyway, mine won't shut off completely. 1 year old and it leaks in the off position. Chinese crap from Costco.
