Need to change my couplings at the moment i use ez-snap but is the pro 26 better than the ez-snap range

[robert mitchell]

The pro 26 (rectus) are much better than the easy snap , i tried easy snap for one day and ditched them .

my pro 26 is almost worn completely away from dragging on the ground and still works fine .

[Tony dunmall]

Pro 26

I updated 6-8 months ago and decided to use and abuse to see how long it would last it's been dragged kicked off never released by hand no protector ball

It lasted until 18/12 I will never use ez style if rictus 21 type connector again

Only reason it stopped working us it was thrown off a large flat roof and badly dented I honestly think would have still worked if I hadn't done this

[Paul erithwc]

Thanks for the replies pro 26 it is then 

[G & M]

who stocks them?

[duncan h]

YES, who do you get them from. I use rectus 21 and they don't last a week. Always when I pull hose it pops off. Really makes me mad. I even went to an air product supplier and got a better type. Same thing. I need a top make that lasts

[Tony dunmall]

 I get mine from gardiner as I cannot be bothered to search elsewhere and there just so helpful

[bobplum]

i went back to ez snap

pro 26 with tap from purefreedom (red tap handle) ... not changed a fitting for over 12 months ... ez snap had to change every month

[sunshine windows]

Had the same 26 fittings for around 18 months now. Still leak free. I have to yank it like mad to uncouple it because the release is worn but it still works perfectly

I get them from a local hydraulics company if that help at all. Probably more expensive than Gardiners but I think I probably save on postage.

21 or 26 they are all rubbish
I now keep my pole hose permanently o clipped to microbore using a brass hose mender and use a John guest in line connector so I can undo and change poles
Cheaper by far,  I can't count the different types of  connectors I have used.
All too expensive  

[sunshine windows]

The 26 are expensive but certainly not rubbish.

I've been leak free for 18 months, from one set of connectors costing around £12 for the pair. Hardly going to break the bank

[andyM]

I would say yes the pro 26 are better than the ez-snap connectors.
They feel heavier and more substantial than the ez-snap and definitely perform as they should for longer.

[Bill.upnw]

pro 26 all day long baby

[slap bash]

I cannot believe you guys still use that crap in 2015 get onto the new stuff Asatate fittings from Aqua adaptor got rid of Retus long ago made for air not water or if you are prepared to search Tom Parker s web site. They are better for window cleaning and don`t snag as much and not effected by dirt.

That is good going,  my 26 lasted 8 weeks,  maybe I'm Ham fisted

[dazmond]

the pro 26 are far better and more robust than the 21.changed all mine last year.

ive only changed my connectors once in 12 months since i swapped.

your link is wrong but they are a rectus fitting with a cover over anyway

Been there, done that.
The pro 26 are better.

I assume you have a few old Ez snap flow controllers in a shed or garage .

Take one valve body and fit a barb fitting to each end microbore fastened to one end and pole hose just pushed onto to other end easy connect and disconnect get plastic tap lever switched for an aluminium one last months without issue
