how do you fix them on to your pole??
i use a jubilee clip but if you tighten it to much it stops you pole fully closeing if you dont the trigger moves.

can you use a glue or something?

I have used quick steel on different things very easy to use ,might be of help.Its a putty that you can use on a number of things and as it states sets  like steel

[dmlservices]

buy some heavy duty velcro pads , the type that has adhesive on , do it all sell them , stick  a small piece on pole where trigger will sit, and a piece on the trigger, then put jubilee clip on and tighten , the velcro will stop it spinning. get the type with water proof adhesive , they come in a pack of 2 strips , 1 are the hooks , the other is a fury strip that grips to the hooks. hope this helps

If you're talking about the Neumatic George Trigger, you can fix them with 3 or 4 heavy duty quick release cable ties available from Maplins.

If this is what you're looking for, do a search on the forum on the subject of 'triggers' as there are pictures posted showing how several of us have done it. 

Having a little movement of the trigger is prefferable to none as this flexability will reduce the risk of breakage to the trigger should you knock it on something

This method of fixing a trigger has worked solidly for me since last October.

I use cable ties i did have a proper fixing for mine but i could not move the trigger if needed so i took that off and used thick cable ties not tightened right up but tight enough to allow me to slide it about if needed

This is how mine are fixed. The green Unger pole has additional ties to keep the hose tidy. You don't have to leave the tails on the ties if you don't want to but it enables you to re-use them if you have to make adjustments. This works well for me.

I know this is bringing up an old thread but I just bought a trigger from Varitech.

 It comes with a small sleeve of glass fibre (2 inches long) that has a split running from end to end. You put this on your pole then the trigger is fixed to this via a steel clamp with a jubilee clamp that goes around the glass fibre sleeve. When you loosen the clamp you can slide the trigger to a new position and then half a turn stops it moving.

I have never used a trigger before but I was getting a bit fed up with getting a wet leg from the leaking connectors on a tap system that goes in the leather holster. Oh well I will give it a go and let you know

hi kevin
give yourself time to get used to it, i could not work wthout one now, using a trigger is useful  in so many situations, as you only spray water where you want,have instant control over water , it is quicker and easier than reaching for a tap, you can keep both hands on pole all the while, my hose attaches direct to trigger, so hose is easy to control.

I used the trigger today for the whole day. I was doing a round of domestic houses, so I used the trigger attached to an 18 ft H Xtel pole.

Three things I really liked;

 1. I hardly used any water - I estimate I saved myself 150 ltrs over the day when compared to a hose stop cock, which really surprised me.

2. I like the the microbore gets attached to the back of the trigger, and the pole hose is looped which causes less snagging as you work.

3. If your using hot the whole trigger warms up to nice temp and keeps your hands warm.

The only thing I found difficult was occasionally the trigger was in the wrong position, but with the Varitech trigger you could reposition it, so not really a bother. I had to do this three times over the whole day.

I like it so far, but a bit more testing is required.

has someone got a link where you can buy these triggers from they look quite good

[Kevin R]

I got mine from Varitech 01626 830830. Its good because its moveable.  Varitech don't have a website but I use them all the time, they are a good supplier

Can you get triggers with a 'always on' switch or something, so you can leave it on if you want?

If not, I suppose you could use rubber band or something to hold it on.

Any ideas?

The simple idea's are always the best!
Use a cable tie secured at just the right tension to be able to be looped over it.

[Trotsky]

How much do these cost?

  Cable ties? 
Depends where you buy them!
Halfords are quite cheap! 

[herbiefatboy]

thats the pole i use for over 90% of my domestic work, the water saning is amazing,

i have a cable tie loosely fitted to slide over trigger, so i can lock it on if i need ( saves repositioning trigger for lower windows)

Couple of questions for you guys. Is there a big loop when you are cleaning downstairs windows and does in get caught on everthing and do you trip over it? Also do you also have a stop valve on the hose?

[dmlservices]

there is a loop when pole colapsed, but i fold in half lay against pole , and fasten pre fitted velcro strip round, takes seconds, no pole hase dragged about on floor.

the end of my main hose is fitted with a schrader connecter( ez snap fitting)
this stops water supply when detached, and starts water flow when i attach to trigger (which has a male schrader fitting,)

hopethis helps
