You can have high pressure and high temperature without any problems, it's all about the connectors and how you attach the hose. Like you, my hose used to come off all the time.  I'll try and get some pictures this afternoon.

if you want it tight, jubali clip it and then use a number 7 socket to turn the clip (not screwdriver) you will get it really tight that way, and you can use two if you like

Daz I use X2 Jubilee clips to tighten hose to inner reel

[dd]

I would have thought O clips would be better than having a jubilee clip inside the reel.

[Small but perfectley formed]

You need a brass fitting with bigger diameter barb ie if your hose is 8mm id get barb of 10 mm then use 2 jubilee or O clips to secure.

[dazmond]

i think your right there small but perfectly formed!

ive put 2 jubilee clips really tight on hose over barb but it fits on easily!i use 6 mm thermobore but should of got the 8mm barb!i think ill order one now!!

Thermobore grows bigger too after hot useage
