metal hose reel... long u shaped thing in centre.
« on: September 04, 2008, 10:23:08 pm »
The bit that connects my hose to the reel...... in the centre of reel and under all the hose..... has split.... its a brass u shaped thing. ... i have had to fit a standard hose fitting on temp, for now.... but it sticks out like a sore thumb and when reeling in... it sticks up....

does anyone know where i can get a replacement very similar... but not the same as the u bend thing is rubbish.

thanks.

Gary.

thats exactly what I'm talking about.

It is a half inch female thread - elbow with a half inch male barb, or in your case for microbore either a 8mm or 6mm barb.

you can buy it as one piece

Hi Chris

Not long.  Haven't had any problems yet! They are certainly not as sturdy as our other versions.

Gazza im sure that if you take your hose reel into your local plumbers merchant they will be able to help you......... i went in to mine a few times when i was setting up my WFP gear and they were brilliant :)
