Its probably just needs the wing nut tightened a bit as I uses a gasket to seal it. It the leak is on the shaft itself then you need to replace the shaft.

these are parts for the hose reel with wheels and 8mm minibore hose.

If you have the petal hose reel without wheels it has a different spindle and the brass adaptor for microbore will be different. You will have to confirm with them stock availability as I can't find them on their website.

A couple of years ago I replaced a few parts on my hose reel.
Lots of spare parts available: http://www.cleaningspot.co.uk/acatalog/hose_reel_spares.html

I'm probably on my 2nd or 3rd Brass Elbow right now (hose reel is getting on for 7 years old).
Once replaced it will be as good as new again.

 Hi tlwcs, i replaced the connector on my hose reel, with one of these Brass elbows a few weeks ago, but used plenty
 of PTFE sealing tape on the male thread, no leaks what so ever so far.

 Hi Tony, did you manage to sort out the leak on your Brass elbow yet ?

Hi Lal, thanks for asking. It was fitted into a petal reel that had the electric power up added to it.
Last November I bought the later power up reel as I'd had a good month and this one has a swivel elbow already fitted that is more purpose built. So to cut a long story short I swapped em over.
If you don't have an electric reel, they really are a brilliant addition to your set up. (If the reels fixed in your van)
Regards. Tony
