Title: Brass T or Y pieces needed
Post by: Carl2009 on January 22, 2014, 05:18:37 pm: Hi all

Anyone know where I can get a brass (not plastic - they split) T or Y piece for my Supalites. the brush jets have a 4mm barb and pole hose is 6mm, so 2 x 4mm and 1 x 6mm.

Cheers

Carl

Yep and I find they come apart hence keeping it simple.

I use Streamline Lite 5 braided pole hose. Not a good combination as the braided makes for a poor "seal".

Have you thrown away the little red clips that come attached?
When I first got mine I took them all off & chucked them. Assumed they were for transport or something.
Turns out their not.
They stop the hose pulling out accidentally.
On my next purchase from Gardiners I asked for 9 new red clips. They chucked 'em in for nothing.
Hose hasn't popped out since.
