Title: silly pole/pipe connector fittings question?
Post by: mufcglen on January 02, 2014, 04:05:24 pm
hi guys, im waiting on my new clx pole and i presume the gardiner pole hose will be 8mm to match my 8mm microbore pipe but im wondering which way around is best to have the male and female fitting or does it even matter lol?

I have the female fitting on the pole hose and the male fitting on the tap.
Having the male fitting on the pole hose is great if you want water to run everywhere when you unplug it.

cheers guys, thats a good point there pal but arent you faced with same issue of water everywhere from the other side of the hose?
also anyone got any good links to cheap rectus 21 connectors, seen some on ebay but certain theyre not rectus as they say fitting type 21?

No, because once its disconnected then no air can get in and you can tip the pole upside down and water won't run out.

And because its off at the tap it doesn;t come out there either.

sorry mate i meant the actual hose from the pole but suppose theres not half as much!
are these balls worth fitting to the pipes too to save the connector?

I'm like this too

Thinking of swapping tho as it will allow to clean dog turd from your boot if the other way around when the pump is on
