Title: Hose Joining Advice please
Post by: Dazzler3370 on April 09, 2019, 08:46:24 pm

Evening Gents,
Does anybody know how you can securely attached, main hose to pole hose without using o ring clips. Oh and I've tried the metal and plastic 8mm to 6mm reducers and they don't work.
cheers

I use hoselock type connectors, easy to use fairly light, cheap to replace when they wear out.

This for the main hose:

I use reducers.

You need bigger reducers, and push them on with hot water.

I do it this way and have never had a problem 👍🏼

It Leaves a nice flush join as well.
