Triggers on poles (pics)
« on: June 06, 2007, 01:48:24 am »
These are pictures of a numatic trigger on my mini pole. I also have one fitted on my other pole i use daily. The loop so i can fully extend to the max is only about 4-5, meaning about 8-10 of pipe if laid out flat.

It took about 3 days to get the nack of using the trigger & get used to the loop, i dont even notice the loop while i'm working now.

I would recommend the trigger any day, saves loads of water. At the touch of the finger water, release the trigger & its not wasted.

looks good!
I was thinking of getting something like that for my pole, but i use an 18ft for everything. so there would be a bit too much excess hose to loop for me. any ideas to get around that?

yes the autobrush,  peter can fit it to any brush if you send it to him,

one thing i did notice that some folk complained that it could dent the sides when taping the autobrush, bar against the brickwork,   maybe if rubber tips where fitted to the bar, at each side of the bar, it would protect the concrete, i did notice from the video there are non on it.

As I'll be working from a 25 ltr trolley, water conservation will be a high priority.  I shall be using a twelve foot pole for most of my work so I believe that would work well for me. Where did you get it from?

Thanks for posting the pics by the way.

By the way, they are easy to adapt & fit.

Dont need the clear bit so bin that. The tube i cut down with a hack saw & filed the edges smooth, the curve helps it fit to the pole. I used cable ties to clamp it to the pole, they dont move much.

The connections fitted on to mine but a couple of different types came with it. The thread is standard so easily changed if needed.
