Title: female hose connector with tap
Post by: michael robinson on October 16, 2013, 08:14:33 pm

does anyone know where I can buy some female hose connector that fits on hose reel but with an on/off tap so when not in use and stored in van for next job etc water will not run.

GArdners do a cracking one.. It doesn't leak.. I bought one at sainsburys and it didn't seal.. Go look at Mr G's

I use purefreedom male end with a tap, and Gardiner female Ez-snap ends on end of pole hose.

I have always used these on a short length of 1/2" hose on the end of my microbore via a barbed reducer

by far the best of this style of connection.
Check the website for a stockist near you as the price has gone up a fair bit on ebay for one (£10.50 inc delivery).
I'm not very gentle with them (get dragged on floor and knocked about) but my last one must have done about 18 months before needing to be changed.
