as most of you guys know ive been having a few problems with my hot water set up.

im currently using boiler braided metal hose with a 3/4 metal screw thread to hot outlet(similar to washing machine connection but metal).ive got a brass reducing bush from screwfix so no plastic screwthreads at all now!

i have a rectus 26 connector on the other end that fits on to my reel.nice fit and no leaks but if i have any more problems with the fittings leaking from the hot outlet thread ill be looking for another hose/connections.
im thinking of black rubber radiator hose with a metal QR female hoselock to fit to the hot outlet and fitting rectus 26 to the other end going into my reel with a metal male hoselock screwed onto the hot outlet thread.im not sure that wouldnt leak as well under pressure and heat?

can you buy radiator hose in 1/2 inch so the metal hoselocks fit?
if you could put up some pics of your connections and hose you use from hot outlet to reel id be grateful lads!

this is the weak point in my system due to the pressure and heat!its the hot outlet connection that needs sorting.
cheers lads
