Good evening people and hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas.
I am basically after some advice on the above if you don,t mind. I will attach a picture of the reel I am currently using and hope you can help with advice on connectors as it is something I have just never got my head around. I am planning on mounting the reel in the back of the van and would like as little water escape as possible. I am using the normal plastic connectors at the moment but they are not great and often pop off under pressure. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
P.S any advice on how to connect from pump to reel in the van would also be helpful.

Paul.

Hi Paul,

Is it a 6mm microbore or 8mm minibore hose?

[PAUL JAMES]

Hello Ben, 8mm minibore mate.

[ben M]

Ideal for connecting 8mm ID Minibore to the centre of hose reels

Thanks mate, very much appreciated.

[ben M]

you're welcome mate 

Don't forget,you can use either jubilee type clips or O clips. The important thing is to get 2 of them holding the hose on to the barb 

[PAUL JAMES]

Gotcha mate, have a boxful of jubilee clips of varying sizes so should be ok.

Will do mate, grafting at my "normal job" tomorrow then planning on spending a day at it later in the week.
