What do you fellas n girls use to connect hose to pole hose. At the mo I'm using hozelock and the nylon hose tails. I'm thinking of getting rectus male and female fittings. Just like to get info on what's the best fittings ?

Cheers for any advice in advance

I have had one set of fittings and big balls for just over a year now on my main pole, and they never leak.

I switched to smaller balls and found the fittings did pop off. Maybe 3 - 5 times a week. With big balls no issues.

So the bigger the balls the better.

[wfp master]

yes the balls stop them scraping along the ground stops the fittings wearing down.
balls are important.

anyone thinking of getting the protector conectors from aquadapter, dont bother they dont work at all like they do on the video and slip in your hands when wet, the balls are much better, i might drill a hole in a tennis ball and try that as well :-)

done that with a tennis ball then put a zip tie on  hose to stop the ball sliding up the hose if it got caught on something.

o rings and typing in protector balls which didn't come up. Ill go back in and order some big balls lol !!!! Cheers 👍

Only real men use jumbo balls 🙈🙈

[dannymack]

Nice just ordered had to pay another £3.50 for postage !!!! 😳😳😳lol !!!

[dannymack]

You can include me there H20 I'm taking your word there better than the smaller balls lol !!!! Hope they not to heavy to pull them big balls in lol !!!! 👀👀👀

Should have emailed Gardiner they would have sorted it.

The fittings are miles away from the floor when reeling in.

So no ball issues.

[dannymack]

No worries sorted it now. Do these balls need drilling H20 ? I normally use them plastic ones you get in schools they have all the hole in them. They seem to wear out when you cut out bigger holes for the hose to go through.

rectus 26 you want danny.a bit heavier than rectus 21 connectors but waayyy more robust!good for hot water as well.hardly ever disconnect unlike rectus 21.

[dannymack]

Cheers Daz, I'm not sure what rectus I bought it just said ez snap. Hope they don't keep popping off. H20 said the big protector balls do help so got a few of them.
👍👍👍
