« on: October 06, 2012, 08:21:09 am »
hi guys im helping a fellow windy get set up with a budget wfp set up for upper windows and ive recommended a gardiners backpack and a £9 ikea trolley and bungees so he has a little portable trolley system.ive already given him a 25ft brodex hydra pole.ive also recommended him getting an extreme brush to go on the end of it.anyway im wondering what connectors you get to go into the backpack?

do you use a length of extension hose as well?

you can get hoselock or rectus connectors. just use pole hose from backpack 20 or 30 metres or however much you want. check these backpacks out the ws18 holds 20 litres & has trolley with it.http://www.johnhewitt.com/backpacks.htm

Hi Dazmond

I would recommend using the EZ-Snap connectors on the end of the Backpack hose as their compact size and ease of use perfectly complements the backpack set-up. You would need a 6mm EZ-Snap End-Stop connectors to fit onto the backpack hose. The backpack comes with about 1m of hose as standard.

Hi Alex,

thanks

Get one with a 8mm tail... Your see that bayersan sells these at a great price, both 6 and 8 identical easy snap.

Hi Ben

All of the EZ-Snap connectors are compatible. You can have an 8mm version on the Minibore and then a 6mm on the pole hose but the quick release fitting is the same size on each.
