This is the cheapest place to buy a shutoff tap for EZ snap for your hoses. Got 5 last week.

thanks Alex, I'll give a ring tomorrow and order a few more bits !!

after neil's comment, I'm wondering if I'm getting muddled up . .

I don't want a tap on the end of the hose because I've used them . . the tap falls off, breaks etc cos they get dragged around so much. What I want is to seperate the male and female and for the water to stop, similar to a hose-lock ??
does this exist?

I agree a tap on the end of the Microbore is too prone to damage. What you need is a female end-stop on the end of your Microbore hose (as pictured below)



With a male EZ-Snap™ (as pictured below) on the end of the pole hose. This is the set-up that I use and most of our clients.

excellent !! I was told wrongly that you couldn't get this (Not by Alex I'll add).  I will ring the office today to add to my order.

Thanks

That's how my set up is - works well and the hose can be whizzed back in fairly safely too. Have taps on the pole hoses.
