Just wanted to ask the www what set up you have between the above?

Ive always had a tap on the end of the 6mm microbore (with a converted female hoselock attached) and then on the end of the pole hose i have a tap connector. Ive just ordered the new aquadaptor jobby from gardiners so now going to fit a claber 6mm hose lock to the microbore and do away with the tap.


Cheers

Rectus 21,male and female
Protector ball

Ive never tried them, do they last long? Do they also have an end stop?

Male rectus 26 with tap on hose reel,  so I have an open flow of water if needed.

Female 26 on pole hose

I used to have the same but now I have a tap on hose reel with male rectus 26 with a male rectus on pole hose with end stop. This means I can disconnect with out water going everywhere.

This week I have fitted a gardiners Gooseneck valve so I don't have to hunt for my hose tap on the ground as it used to be great at hiding. 

Gooseneck valve is great BTW but can't operate well if upstairs windows are off to one side too much. Works great if standing beneath the window.

Cheers mate, think i'll go for the rectus 21. Ideally id rig my 6mm microbore to a piece of 13mm (somehow!?) and then just fit a hoselock female to male tap connector off the pole hose. This way its cheap as chips and no where near as expensive as rectus fittings.

You can do that Fin, just go to Cliffords in School Road , Hove. They sell barbed hose reducers in lots of sizes. I've been doing just that for years. Then drive down Portland Road towards Sackville Road junction to the Nut and Bolt Store to buy the o rings . Adapt your system and buy local from readily available parts, saves downtime and cost.

Why not give the Ex-ceed set up a go? It'll do away with the need for a rectus male and female fitting and protecta ball and the rectus fitting lasts longer on there set up as the connector for the pole has a protective sleeve! Imo, (although I haven't tried the Gardiner new tap.........yet) the Exceed with univalve is a near perfect set up.

Cheers Barry! I didn't know Clifford's stocked them either so that's something else I learnt from your reply. I'll get down there today as I've got loads of spare hoselocks so this set up seems ideal and like you said, cheap, available and tried and tested connection. Only thing that worries me is pressure blowing the hose locks apart. With the rectus fittings i think could be another option still, I've read all the other posts on wear etc but i think if you just kept them joined and added a plastic pole hose joiner a few inches from the fitting then you could just undo with that and they cost no money when they eventually break. Anyway,I owe you a brew mate! Don't think I've knowingly seen you about - what's your van etc? Fin

Thanks mate will keep this as a possible second option.
