Hose reel tap
« on: March 10, 2012, 08:38:13 am »
Anyone got any idea where I can find a push-fit hosereel tap? All the push-fit ones seem to be for pole hose and not hose-reel (thus only accepting a smaller bore of hose)

TIA

Matt

Thanks Gav. Cant find anything on their site, might have to settle for non push-fit.

Why do you need a push fit tap.
Cantyou buy a standard tap with hose tails off ebay and swap bits to what you need

Just want it as simple as possible, no jubilee clips. I was hoping for a pole-hose type plastic tap but with a larger bore.

IMO a pushfit on the end of your hose is more likely to leak. I found using Gardiners push fit pole valves a pain because they always seem to have a small leak so stopped using them now and just use a tap on end of hose which is O-ring clamped on.

Ive been playing with a microbore push fit tap. Quite frankly it balls. ;0) Naymind, I'll revert back to my original plan. Thanks anyway fellas.

Matt try Aquafactors I saw one 8 mm there. It was pricey though.

Cheers, I'll pop in there. There's those engineer suppliers in Goat Lane too. They're useful for allsorts.
