Title: Hosetail connectors 💂
Post by: dannymack on April 06, 2014, 07:35:59 pm
  Does anyone know where I can get the nylon hosetail connectors, they sell the metal ones but I like the nylon 8mm ones last ages. I bought some from eBay I think a few years back and I don't think Gardiners, Cleaning Spot sell them.
Any ideas ? Please see pic below of what I'm after but the Nylon ones

Many Thanks to all that reply

Cheers Dannymack 👍

Gary winters did the ally one but not the nylon one !!!!
Did you see pic of the bit I need on my post above. They last for ages and seem to not pop of the connector as much as the ally ones. 😝

Post by: dannymack on April 07, 2014, 08:04:25 pm
Wfp I have a 6mm one and an 8mm one that's wearing, I find the water flow is quicker with the 8mm. Strange as its only a couple mm bigger but it makes a difference. I have no flow control as I like my flow speed quick as poss
But cheers 👍
