........to stop the pole hose coming out of the brush connector when pulling the hose using a univalve?i normally just use an O RING but lately its been sliding off the hose no matter how tightly i tighten the ring....
today it was very annoying....it came out at least 10 times when working.....i use orange PU hose and o rings from gardiners..... >:(
cheers guys....

I don't use anything.
Also, I don't use those little red clips that ensure your hose stays in the connector. I never have a problem.
However, I have one brush that can cause a problem, but only if the brush is angled straight up (as if you were doing a julliet balcony) then it pops out.

I am guessing it is more of a problem with hot water, it creates problems you don't often get with cold.

No idea as i use flow valves, not a problem with hot
;D ;D

These work for me. I cut them from a piece of 2" plastic plumbing pipe and drill them with a 7mm drill bit. Once on the hose they don't move unless you twist and pull at the same time

Never had a problem with o rings!!
-
cheers chaps...ive just ordered some of the hose stays from exceed,i needed some more o clips so ordered a load of them too.... :)
-
I taped the hose to the gooseneck as a temporary fix a year ago when I ran out of o rings.
It's still like that...
So simplest way bit of tape

Get some stainless steel double eared ones on ebay.

Wrap some electrical tape around it, thicker than the hole obviously, job done.
-
ive put an o clip,zip tie and a good wrap of tape on the hose and its just about holding it in place.... ::)roll
its the 60c+ water which is causing the problem i think.....

I keep a few in my motor as spares, but I’ve only had one crack in the 18 months or so I’ve been using this method

I found the ExCeed one gradually slipped down the tube and I kept having to resite it. That's why I made my own.
