Streamline lite 5 pole hose
« on: September 21, 2013, 05:02:36 pm »
Is this type of hose available from anywhere else? Is there a barb that you fit to connect it to the john guest 8mm straight connector and finally, is it ok with warm/hot?
Thanks

From what i recall , when i used it with hot it was a pain in the backside , i ended up using the double ear crimp things to keep it from popping off all the time , it gets real soft when used with hot , i also found that the weave on it pcked and held a lot of grit when wet .

The only hose that wIll stand up to hot water is made of  polyurethane so its Gardeners orange pole hose or Aquadaptor pole hose. This type you can get on e bay its the PU 8mm OD by 6mm Id . And you will also need a 8mm JOHN GUEST STEM FITTING.

I use lite 5 wrapped around SL2, last for years, does hold dirt when wet though but good with hot water
