Title: Jet Fitting
Post by: S_RICHARDSON on April 03, 2018, 06:43:53 pm
Hi everyone,

So I've switched to 2mm pencil jets on my brush head. To get a better flow. 3 infact.
My question is, what connectors do you guys use? (Link?)
My pole is 8mm outer diameter and then it needs to go to 6mm outer diameter jet hose. (x3)

I can only find one's for 2 jets or 4....

Thanks guys

Yeah trying out a 3rd jet in the middle of the brush head, see if it makes for a better rinse.
Worth a shot.

I fitted 2 x 3mm jets and they been cracking for me, less pointy jet spray bouncing off the windows and a bigger water wave on the window.
Less rinsing too

Could just have 8mm OD tubbing to the jets.
No faffing around with a reducer 8mm od to 6mm od.

What 2mm jets take 8mm jet hose? I couldn't find any, hence buying the 2mm jets for 6mm hose...

Where your 2mm  jets are in the outside diameter is 6mm??
If so you can insert it into a 8mm outside diameter tubbing as the inside diameter is about 6mm.
If it fits loosely just put some duck tape around the 6mm tubbing
Here is a video that explains how we put jets into the tubbing.
