I use one of these attached to the thin hose from my brush head:

It fits into a female hoselock.

Does that answer what you were asking?

Hi Beefy,

all of our poles can be specified from new with a choice of end connectors, one of which is a standard lightweight nylon male hozelock connector.

The nylon male hozelock type fitting is actually about 7mm ID on its fitting so it fits both 6mm and 8mm hose.

To fit it onto the 6mm ID hose you have to dip the end of the hose into boiling water for about 5 seconds, but to fir into 8mm ID you just need to make sure you fully tighten the jubilee clip/'o' ring.
