Title: WCW Backpack connection.
Post by: Fieldsy on May 28, 2009, 10:47:52 pm: Going to order the wcw backpack with the microbore tap connection. I want to connect 8mm OD 5mm ID transparent pole hose to this, what fixing is my best and easiest option. I like the look of the ez snap connectors, but unsure how to connect the transparent hose to the microbore tap.

thanks

What I did was to snip the fitrting off the end, slide a bit of half inch hose over it and jubilee clip it. Then a hozelock type fitting onto the half inch hose. This is because the fittings I use on the pole hose are the ones that fit into hozelock type fittings. I know you mentioned EZ Snap, but the above is another alternative if you decide differently.
