Type 1 although what karygate has suggested will fit the bill.

Why do the jets need replacing on your brush? Most jets are very simple to fit and are available in a variety of sizes from various suppliers.

Post by: Alex Gardiner on July 13, 2009, 08:34:39 pm: Yes, sounds like a blocked jet. Depending on the jet type, pull the feeder hose off the back and blow it clear.

For your 8mm (od) pole hose you will need the 6mm EZ snap male tail. I always fit the EZ snap end stop to the end of my microbore hose.

Free delivery is over £45 but it has to be over not on and before VAT is added.

Post by: Wrekin C S on July 14, 2009, 09:14:05 pm: I bought my gear from Andrew Mccann and the main hose he supplied has a tap on the end of it with the male bit and on the poles rectus 21 bit? Is that right or do I need to make changes not seen any others but from what your saying do you use different setup?

Post by: Wrekin C S on July 14, 2009, 09:17:23 pm: The second one down on this link looks the same as mine http://www.purefreedom.co.uk/store_hose.html
Title: Re: Harris pole bits.
Post by: Alex Gardiner on July 14, 2009, 09:35:12 pm: Andrew always set his systems up differently to us. If you want to continue with how you're using it then fit the 6mm EZ end stop to the bottom of your pole hose.
