Where can I find this connector picture please see
« on: June 05, 2018, 02:07:47 pm »


 
first picture is the One That I Want you see how the jubilee clip holds it in place and it's a brass connector that fits into the Hozelock

If you know anything better let me know I don't like the plastic ones they are rubbish

Circuit Hydraulics on Ebay sell them

They have the swivel listed but not the coupler.

The coupler is one of these but has a different hose tail - 1/2" and 3/4" combo.

You could just email them and ask them to list one for you provided they have stock.

Guys thanks very much
I actually need a silly thing before Saturday don't fancy wasting another x amount of pounds on another plastic piece of crap

https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brass-Hozelock-Quick-Release-Coupling-x-6mm-hose-tail/163060697121?_mwBanner=1&_rdt=1
This is more like the one that I have
The three items link from Screwfix I don't think they can next to the hoes do they the way that one does?
As for window Cleaning Warehouse gardeners or gripper that's fine I can call them and see if I can get a swift delivery my local cleaning spot place does not have them really annoying

Im a bit lost here , you say you want to replace the brass female that you have just linked to ?
So why order that with a 6mm tail , its not going to fit to the braided clear you have !

What i use is the 4 piece set that was linked above from screwfix , also gotten from wickes at £8.99 .

What does the other end of the braided hose connect to ......pump/Di ? 
I'm so lazy I'm getting tired of it !

I bought a few of them from Circuit Hydraulics off Ebay. Hence I know they sell them. They have step down hose couplings so you can use them for either 1/2" or 3/4" hose.

So the braided hose is half inch , normal garden hose size then ?
Is the swivel shot or the connector ?

Here is one unscrewed  , the tail is 12.5mm / half inch  , that should go right on the braided hose with the supplied collar or just jubileed up as you have it at the mo .
One of the 2 fittings you see has a waterstop built in , this one may restict flow so i would go with the other to be safe .

Why can't you just do this like we do on all four of our reels? :

This is exactly what i am using at the minute Simon , never a problem , i only switch to the brass female when the heater goes in as more pressure is involved then .

Perhaps the OP has his pressure too high , hence the popping off ?

appreciate the info mate i defo need it jubileed up i really dont get on with any of the twisting methods . so i think the Gardiner ones are the best around £15 + post but it seems a serious connection sod the twisty stuff ! yes it keeps popping out set at 60 they seem to last around 2 months then deteriorate when that happens they pop out in any pressure even 40!

Thanks spruce yes these are the sort of connections i need ones that are strictly jubilee clipped up  it turns out i raided the shed and found my hose lock plastic connector grave yard can you believe it around 40 hose locks some with valves over a good 10 years+ at what £7 each we talking £280 of waste ? sod that im getting good connectors next time alot cheaper in the long run ...

reason why i raided shed was to find a spare one of those connectors and i actually did only 1 of those and 40 plastic ones says alot! but it must have been in the hoselock grave yard for a reason tested it and it worked so ill ride it out for now
