You will need to use an inline 8mm to 1/2" bore adapter to take the 8mm hose up to standard 1/2" hose size to then fit a standard female hoselock connector such as below:

The alternative is to change the pole hose connector to a more professional type fitting which will allow you to fit a coupling such as below:

The one pictured above is an EZ-Snap and are the ones that we recommend.
