Anyone else having this problem?



It's like this on nearly every house and then just pops out of the hose, leaking water.  So I push it back in.  Very tedious doing it all day.  I did an autocal, which dropped it from 32 to 31 and didn't make any difference, same problem pushing this female end out of the hose.

cant you just jubilee clip it

The hose on the right needs the same fittings as the hose on the left.

The hosetail does occasionally pop out of the fitting, and also when I'm trying to refit the female coupling into the 6mm microbore, there's not a lot of room to put my fingers on it and push it in    ...   The microbore is reinforced, would a jubilee clip or cable tie have any effect?  There was no mention of these in the fitting instructions!  Just put the end of the microbore in hot water to soften it up then shove the ez snap female in.  Which is great, but it doesn't stay in.  So I can't just drag it around, I have to pick up my pole, pole hose, then the reel hose just beyond this bit so I get no leaks!  Tiresome

O clips and a pair of nail pincers.

I use microbore as well but I get the 8mm barbed female fitting for it then like you say just warm the hose end up in warm water and push in gives a lot tighter fit then just stick a jubilee clip on will never come off. If the horsetail is coming out then its time to replace both fittings. If your using a controller just make sure the cut off pressure is not set to high

These fittings do need securing with either a Jubilee clip or an O clip. The instructions you are referring to are Amber's Top Tip Video about softening the hose with boiling water to make it easier to fit. It does not include all instructions needed as it is just a tip to make fitting easier.

However, following your comment, I've just added this to the website: Please note that all barbed fittings will need securing to the hose with either a hose clamp or an O clip.

rap some PTFE  around the barb then insert into hose, for a quick solution
