Thanks Gary, what a ballache, not sure how you connect to hozelock after cutting pipe? the pipes diameter prevents any connection to female hozelock, I managed ok with the shurflo cos its wider!
I've managed to attach a female hozelock that normally would fit a tap with a jubilee clip tightened on end of handle so aint cut the pipe, then 6inch of hose to a flow valve! Looks sh.te like!
