Title: connecting micro bore to
Post by: bobplum on January 15, 2013, 07:59:27 pm

the heavy duty elbow that is on the metal reels
how do most people on here connect them.
i have to use 1/2 inch connections/piping down to micro bore and they are all ways prone to leaking
can you connect micro bore directly to the out let elbow on the reel
cheers bob

If you are referring to the bent elbow coming out of the centre of a steel petal hose reel

(http://www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/acatalog/Hosereel_sectionsec.jpg)

Then you will need a brass screw to barb fitting - http://www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/acatalog/brass-male-screw-thread-to-hose-barb-fittings.html

1/8" to 6mm barb

This screws into the inside of the elbow outlet.
