Sick of these leaking , anyone got a link for a leak free fitting please for where your hose goes from your pump and meets your hose reel?

Cheers 👍

I feel your pain Shrek, it's a constant battle. Real Pita during winter, tolerable in summer as the van dries out quickly. Joys of the job I'm afraid!

Iv just tried 3 different hoselock fittings and they all leak 

[p1w1]

buy a decent good quality hose reel is your answer really ...job sorted! I use the pro26 fittings for my hd reel never leaked/ dripped in over a year  i've had it.

Gardiners sell leak free ones.
They are stainless steel.

Yes but by the looks of it the thread on the spindle only allows you to put the hozelock  screw type fitting on it. Unless you can get some kind of reducer then you will have to stick to hozelock fittings.

I use a car radiator hose, bought from ebay. Mostly due to the hot water aspects but I have it direct to the swivel elbow via a jubilee clip. No issues with leaks, regardless if hot or cold.
So fasten your hose direct

We use very hot water with a variety of fittings normal hose lock , the stainless steel ones Gardiners sell and never have any leaks , cheak that the plastic lugs arnt broken that hold the female on to the male that’s the only time we get a leak on the plastic fittings is if one of them is broken and the fitting isn’t held squarely on the male fitting

Assuming your reel is static in the van and you don't need to lift it in and out............ you need to use 15mm barrier pipe, and this to your pump..........

and this to your reel................

Only fly in the ointment for me was to tap connections....... 6mm hose reel to wfp hose, this i solved by buying the correct "O" rings and crimping them correctly, as opposed to previously using jubilee clips. Thats worked for me , i now have a dry van.

My van has carpet tiles in as well for several months now and unlike many predictions on here saying it will stink etc due to getting wet.  It doesnt because i dont get leaks.

I like the idea of a jubilee clip over the reel outlet.
