Can anyone recommend a Hoselock type fitting that doesn't leak? I've been using them for years (connection onto hosereel) and over the past week one has started leaking.

Got some new ones from B and Q and also got some from Gardiners and they all leak!

Any suggestions?

Cheers

I've been using these ones for a while and have been trouble free: http://www.diy.com/nav/garden/garden-care-watering/watering-irrigation/hoses___accessories/-specificproducttype-connectors/Verve-Hose-End-Connector-11327535?skuId=11838241

Have you tried the stainless steel ones from gardiners / grippamax ?

I was going to just suggest that too, they are quite expensive though, Dazmond and a few others on here recommend them.
I use gardina branded ones and never had issues, though B&Q and nowhere local to me seem to stock them anymore which is a shame.

I have only recently got them when grippa fitted my system , they feel like they will last forever .

Have you changed the o ring on the male part? Or wipe the o ring with silicone grease helps to seal and prevents the seal drying out

I found the brass elbow swivel fitting best

Change the rubber O ring, probably nowt even wrong with the fittings!!

[roundbuilder]

Agreed it was always the o that went on me.

all i use it connector that fits on to you out side tap unscrew the platic nut tke out the rubber washer put a penny over hole replace rubber washer tighten it up hey pesto one bung works every time no more leaks bare in mind its only for when you have finished work for the day.

[robert mitchell]

I use that same brass elbow but with the stainless steel connector on the hose .

They are expensive but they are shiny so its worth it 

[DaveG]

Cheers for the replies chaps

The first thing I did was change the "O" ring as I have a pack of them in the van

Some good suggestions there!

I'm using those swivel elbows from Gardiners and was so  peed off, I jubilee clipped the hose straight on to it  

Cheers
