Title: Looking for a solution to hot water hose lock fitting
Post by: Pure Glass on June 03, 2013, 03:56:25 pm

When im using hot with thermabore, the 6mm hose lock fitting keeps melting, so the hose just comes away from the fitting when any sort of pressure backs up to the reel.

I'm using the standard Gardiner reel

Any solutions gratefully received.

Thanks Steve

Yes, its the fitting inside the reel. Do you put a o ring on the thermabore as well?

Ta, Steve

If its leaks at the place were the micro bore goes on to the fitting> I just glue it  then screwed the cap back on ,using a glue called" Extreme" ITS WATER PROOF.
