Post by: matt on December 20, 2007, 05:47:41 pm: taken from the DIY forum, if your on it, it also has the pics, its a post called "A few questions for you Jeff B (or anyone else)"

i know "homebase" stock all these parts, my both local 1's do

a pressure reducer, it comes with connections to 6mm and the bigger size ( might be 13 mm ) you only need the 6 mm, UNSCREW THE UNIT AND take out the body of it off, you only need the screw bit

www.hozelock.com/productcatalog/products.asp?range=watering&region=ROW&hierarchyID=1&hierarchyID2=54&hierarchyID3=58&hierarchyID4=60&hierarchyID5=

right you then need

www.hozelock.com/productcatalog/products.asp?range=watering&region=ROW&catno=2289&hierarchyID=1&hierarchyID2=33&hierarchyID3=36&hierarchyID4=

screw them together

6 mm rain pipe goes into the 1 end and the other is a hozelock that just plugs into your stop end

job done

you should be able to just unscrew the hoselock end from the DI and use this instead
