david what wrong with rectus 26 fittings?i changed all mine to them a few months ago when i switched to hot water and i find they very rarely disconnect in use unlike the 21 versions.ok they are heavier but i can live with that.they never leak and all in all i find them better.

if they jam spray them with WD40.it soons gets them working smoothly again.


best wishes

Ive used the rectus 26 around 2 years and replaced 5 times male and female it is a lot better fitting than the 21 but intrested to find out if Q.R or Hozelock maybe better I have 4 vans running 8 hose reels Some times the guy's can,t disconect them you will find that the male side will ware quicker than the end stop but you still need to buy the pair so as not to ruin the new fitting.
