Always have a leak on the section that links reel to the hose (the tapered brass fitting)
I use quality jubilee clips from Gardiners,even double up,but I still get a leak 
I use about 8 inches of garden hose from the reel to the beginning of the microbore,and find that this often blows holes in it.
Is there anything else I can use to link the reel to the microbore apart from garden hose?

sorry that one for microbore: http://www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/acatalog/Quick-Release-Straight-Through-Coupling-with-6mm-Hose-Barb-QRM_COUPLING_6MM.html

never had a problem

microbor should fit straight over the brass fitting if you got the right size barb.also use 'o' rights,as I found when using the jubilee clips they get move when you are winding in.


go on say it you love me

Crikey, what kind of pressure are you using!!!?? Do you use a controller?

Mine are held on with plastic tie wraps & don't leak!!

I reckon I got the wrong brass thingy because I struggle to fit garden hose on the barb,i wouldn't stand a chance in hell of fitting microbore straight on there.

Try turning the pressure down a bit!!

[Frankybadboy]

if you look in side the bend there is a tread to screw in a barb

which hose reel have you got? will fit any brass 3/4" threaded tap connector

I had a problem with
Mines a few years ago

I thought it was the fitting leaking but it
Turned out there was a tiny pin hole on the elbow

Nothing a bit of solder could fix but there was a lot
If head scratching at 1st

As frankybadboy has said there is an internal 1/8" screw thread on this brass elbow. If you screw one of these into the elbow - http://www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/acatalog/brass-male-screw-thread-to-hose-barb-fittings.html (1/8" male screw to 6mm barb) with a good bit of PTFE tape around the thread you can then fit the Microbore directly onto this brass fitting and attached with a Jubilee clip or an O clip.

Thanks Alex, will order a couple tomorrow

[Frankybadboy]

bit of advice don't over tighten the barb as it will crack the elbow bit

and you wont know til it leaks
