Especially if they last longer than the current rectus fittings, they’re deck worth a try

However i dont believe the "no more snagging" part thats certainly false advertising

At £20 a set i dont think i will bother , i have had the same rectus fittings on pole and hose for 18 months now , not even a drip !

And if they dont come with a water stop facility like the rectus what good will they be if you dont have a tap on the reel hose ?

Hmm. I'll try them but that's more than double what I pay now.

Last twice as long, be twice as good or forget it.

Any good? Pics? Videos?

Yes they’re more expensive, but I’d happily pay the extra if they’re good.

Just had one delivered, first impressions....a little stiff to connect ( although may become easier once in use) and larger than i expected

i use rectus 26 and generally ive been happy with them but they do disconnect sometimes which is annoying plus their quite heavy.if these are are lighter and just as hardwearing and dont disconnect themselves they could be a winner.

I dont know my phones , but that looks bloody massive , i was thinking it was going to be like univalve size !
How the fook is that not gonna snag  ::)roll

It does look quite big , what’s the chances of it cracking with being dropped multiple times of stood on ? How hard wearing is it I wonder

All i can see is a smooth return to Hozlock territory .
I assume that one part goes on main hose and other goes on pole hose ?

Yes the lack of a vid showing its use would have been a very good idea !
I was under the impression that it was of similar size to the univalve , that you could connect it either between main hose and pole hose , or use it in a hoseless type set up where it would go up inside pole .
So i am really not sure now if it would be of any use to me at all ?

This is how i am set up , male and female rectus go up through pole as it is extended ...
