Title: hose reel elbows that don't leak
Post by: Paul-kent on February 02, 2021, 05:21:07 pm

I currently have the brass hose lock elbow that always leaks when getting the reel in and out

Has any one else used the streamline one? I don't want to spend £35 unless it stops the leaking

The link you posted doesn't look like the same elbow in your picture. I bought some off eBay. They will start to leak after a certain amount of time though.

Get rid of the hose lock in that pic and put hose in hot water then push over brass fitting tighten with jubilee clip, no more leaks.

The brass elbow leaks at the swivel joint that's why I want to replace it with a new elbow that don't leak, I did know if a high pressure elbow joint would be better.

You want high pressure fittings the the only thing the brass elbow in the picture has to stop it leaking is a ridiculous paper-card type washer they last 5 minutes with hot water 10 with cold,you want high pressure fittings that use rubber O rings they leak after a long period but it’s fixed by replacing the O rings.
