Hose connection problem
« on: May 29, 2015, 09:50:26 pm »

This is my connection from my 250l tank, but I can't get a normal garden hose on it as the hose is to big anyone have any suggestions the hose size is 1/2

This is better imo - http://www.purefreedom.co.uk/large-tank-outlet-fittings-kit.html


But if you really want it in the fitting you have then put the end of the hose in some hot water to make it supple, and then work it onto the barb fitting you have...
Depends on how much bigger the barb is though to how easy/possible it'd be though

Why don't you have a quick google before making stupid comments?

Plus, screw on a suitably sized  jubilee clip.

Use a John Guest style fitting instead and the appropriate size of tubing?
