What kind of pole do you want it to go on?

They are about £55, you will need a brush that has had the socket taken off of the back and it comes with it's own jets that screw through the brush and fix to the gooseneck. They are made by a firm in the UK and are aluminium, they weigh about 300g. They come in two sizes 22m or 23mm to fit different pole sizes. They bond on to the end of a pole and have the hose exiting at the base of the fitting and then it can be taped to the gooseneck to connect to the brush jets.

Cheeper to buy a 'Hose-Through' Residential Plastic Adjustable Gooseneck, buy two of then so when you have those hard to reach windows just join the two together.

£55 for a metal gooseneck is outrageous - somebody is making a small fortune, if Ioniics was charging this much people would be up in arms saying they was ripping us of .

Yes I agree they are pricey, which is why we do not stock them.

Ionics is only £47.25, but you do then need 2x screw jets at £3.05 each total = £53.35.
www.ionicsystems.com

Or Omnipoles ( ;)) £26.50 for the jets and brush holder and then you need to buy a gooseneck at about £20 and a pole end fitting at about £7, total about £53.50
www.omnipole.com

Or you could try Brodex's complete trident head assembly (with brush) at £98.00
www.brodexbms.co.uk

It doesn't look quite so out of place really though at these prices.
