Uni valve and slx
« on: June 29, 2017, 01:41:53 pm »
Where do you guys fit yours with the Gardeners range poles? 

Do you just connect to two existing hoses together with the Uni valve ( where you connect the brush hose to the main hose in the pole) ? Obviously this will permanently fix the hose preventing brush changes. 

Or do you just cut and fit it on the main hose ?   If doing it this way, are there issues with the push fitting when pulling the hose?

I fit mine just below the brush hose so I can still change brushes without issue. So it sits inside the top 6"-8" of the pole section. Great piece of kit by the way- up there with the best innovations in WFP IMO.

Agreed it's brilliant.

I have found that it does pull the hose out of the John guest fitting going into the brush after a little while as the 'o' clip moves up bit by bit with each pull on the hose.

This is probably because I have gardeners normal yellow hose (too stretchy so have to pull it harder) so will be buying the blue hose specified to use with the uni-valve.

I clip two o rings just after the hole on the goose neck where tube comes out with the uni valve inside to section

Then I leave enough length of the pole hose  to change the angle of the brush for when cleaning roofs

This way you can change brush easily and angle the goose neck with out interfearing with uni valve

Hope that helps
