I just bought 2 female and 2 male quick connectors. I like to keep them in stock.

from Prochem £57.00 with VAT !

had 20% discount but still alot!

Thought I should have got them from woodbridge, anyone know how much they are there? are they as good quality? (these are 'Hansen' ones)

feel I been ripped off.

sure they are the best but still pricey !

[John Gregory]

May be a daft question but why do they need replacing ? do they wear out ? and how often do they need replacing

Thanks John

female ones have 2 seals inside that can go, then they start to leak, male ones start to leak if they are scratched/dented from dragging along the ground, but they do last ages.

Silcone lubricant helps

Silcone lubricant helps

In many cases, and more necessary as certain parts start to age

P.S. that price is a rip-off, they should be about 6 quid plus vat each

[craigp]

Anyone suggest somewhere cheaper to buy them please ?

And will they be as good?

I replaced all mine through the local Bearing Man - less than £4 a pop plus vat. Pretty good but not as many ball bearings in the neck as the originals, also the collar spring not as strong - they can come unstuck if you drag them round a corner

Was that for the brass or steel ones

try your local pressure hose repair outlet if you have one, sometimes those that work there like a bit of beer money
