Title: Hose reel connectors hot use
Post by: LBWCS on September 30, 2013, 05:56:19 pm

I know this has been discussed before. Currently use the brass elbow style connectors from my fog wash to the reel but constantly have leaks and drips. Is there any alternatives someone can recommend?

You might need to back the pressure off a bit - hot water makes the hose expand and so the pressure switch or sensor won't cut in as early as normal.
