Title: Solution hose split
Post by: wayne zabel on January 19, 2012, 03:49:49 pm: My solution hose split today about half an inch above the brass male connector.Any one know a place in the Manchester area that might be able to repair it.

I have ordered some more from Cleansmart but if its repairable I could use it as a spare.

Thanks
Wayne

Get both ends done at the same time.

And get both ends done as someone already mentioned.
Pirtek did mine for nothing, gave the guy a fiver.
Mine went in a library, luckily there Ashbys with the
sleeving protective cover so water didn't actually spray
all over the place.
Split a fifty foot length last month into a 35 and a 15, best
thing I done, charged a tenner for doing that.

They also said the same applies to hydraulic hose which they used to re-end - he said also there is EU legislation pending - presume there is some safety issue relating to their process - I will be trying elsewhere - be interested to know if its a national thing?

It is cut off a frikkin great big reel and the ends made up to whatever length. So there should be no problem with putting fittings on the ends of hose. If their systems are failing it's their fault, not the hoses.

Sounds like a marketing ploy to sell more new hose.

I have come up against this before. When you explain that it's only for <1000psi of water they normally do it. Hydraulics are a different matter. It helps if the ratings are still visible on your hose. I do believe it's down to the individual operator though.
