EZ snap from gardiners are good, they are the same as rectus 21, but better.

The Pro range that gardiners are phasing out are rectus 21's i have used them, the ez snap is the replacement for them and are better then the pro (rectus 21), i havnt tried the pro 26 (rectus 26) they are a bigger fitting, so i would imagine they are stronger.

I've been using the ez-snap connectors for a good few months now and I do like them. Never had any problems with them.
The microbore female connection is quick release with a water stop function so no need for a tap on the main hose.

the one on cleaning spot are the rectus 21 fitting, they are the same as the pro range on gardiners, not the ez snap, the ez snap and the rectus 21's all use the same hose tail though.
