what connectors do i need to fit my thermobore on the inside of my reel?its a screw thread.also its a screw thread on the outside of reel.no idea what size i need.its quite a small thread on both inside and outside.
the reel looks quality.very light but robust too.
many thanks in advance guys

Take it down to your nearest pneumatics suppliers.
Could be 1/2" or 3/8" BSP which are common sizes but they'll sort you out, also they'll be able to supply you with whatever you need to connect to your current snap on connectors.
Alternatively have you look at the instructions?

Ask Sir Alex ;)

i have got thermobore kempy.i just needed a decent reel to go with it for hot water. ;D
DG cleaning NO instructions with it at all. ::)roll

I got the bigger Radashe Koreel which has same outlet. Do as DG suggests, coz that's what I did. Hydraulic &/or Pneumatic Suppliers. They will b able to put a screw fixing with an quick connector tail end. Then you could put a Rectus 026 end stop on the end of the reel supply hose. Any problems, then you can just disconnect, take off, all neat and tidy.

My post above relates to the outer connector.
The inside one : they will sort you out with right screw thread connection with a 6mm hose tail. Look in the area yellow pages or Google it, Hydraulic Supplies, take your reel and they'll sort you out!

According to that spec they are both 1/2" female bsp
So inside you want a 1/2" bsp male and horsetail size to suit hose I/d ( 6 or 8 mm )

And a double ended male connector to screw into thread and then you can fit the hose lock fitting to that

Just to add I'd go for a 90 degree version inside to help layer the hose

Hey Daz,
I have just ordered this reel for 100m of thermobore plus 8mm, What were the exact fittings you got for it ?

hi peter you need the 1/2 thread brass fittings to fit to the reel.i bought a male rectus 26 fitting for the outside of reel and a 10mm barb for the inside.gardiners sell them.
