Bought some Rectus 21s 2 weeks ago from a local supplier, they are already playing up.. won't connect/water coming when they disconnect/leaking etc. I'm bored with wasting money on these things.

As far as I can see there are 2 alternatives, either Rectus 26 or the plastic ones that Aquadapter sell. Are there any others?

Aren't the Rectus 26 a bit bulky and catch on stuff?

What are the Aquadapter ones like?

I just want some DECENT connectors 

What are you using?

Cheers

Rolls Royce of fittings.

I've used these as long as I can remember now, supported by one of those foam ball's they last well! If you run two ball's then it doesn't touch the floor!

All that kinda sounds a little wrong pmsl.

We use Rectus 26KAs

If you have some spare barb fittings for your inline flow controller disconnect your rectus 21 female fitting and replace it with barb fitting .

Then without a connector on you pole hose you can simply shove pole hose over barb fitting and pull off when needed been using mine like this for 3-4 months now and leaky fittings are a distant memory . Mike

There's always Steve's suggestion of incorporating a washer.



Spot on, if you ask me.

Never been able to post pics on here , If you are using a flow control valve or inline tap such as the EZ- snap hose valve with rectus 21 end stop sold on Gardiners .

Then on the end which your main hose is connected i you have placed your main hose over a brass barbed fitting YES

 You need to have one on each end which means you can do away with rectus fittings all together , If you are still baffled i can take a pic tomorrow and email you a pic . Mike
