More grief........
« on: September 06, 2007, 03:11:33 pm »
My plastic hozelock on off switch literally blew apart today under pressure from my varistream. I think what i need now is an on/off connector that will adapt to my 6mm microbore hoze(one that can take the pressure) Once again, any ideas boys? You can probably tell from my 2 posts what kinda day I'VE had  >:(

Alex or other supplies sell the tap you need, or go to your local plumbers merchants and get the gas typ fittings.

One of these might do the trick.

On our site under Hose Fittings and Adapters/ Pole Flow Control Valves

The thing is alex, I'm gonna need it to connect to a aluminium hozelock male, which connects to my pole hose. Nowts simple is it???  ;) Would that do the trick?

No, that would not connect to this valve.

The simple way to make it work is to change the connectors on your poles to EZ-Snap males (£1.05) with  Protecta-Balls (£0.95)
