One half months  using slick connect and all I can say  is fantastic product  so far .
Normal connectors  pro 26 or ez  etc give up the ghost after a months use or start to become hard to connect or disconnect around a month in  so definite thumbs up to this product.

I was considering getting some of these 👍

i use rectus 26 connectors and they usually last me around 6 months before i change em these days....

are the plastic slick connect easy to break if you accidently stand on them?and are they easy to connect,disconnect frequently?

if the pro 26 connectors become hard to connect/disconnect i just spray them with WD40 or something similar,their like new again then....certainly not ready for the bin!

No they're pretty solid.

and are they easy to connect,disconnect frequently?

Very easy.

[Smudger]

Do they auto stop water flow when disconnected?

Darran

Yes.

They are very good, still on my original set from last year, no leaks or breaks yet. If they ever get hard to connect just dip them in soapy water and they slide straight on.
Best connectors out there IMO.

[Smudger]

Thx - these have slipped past me - they do look good, if a little bit big compared to the rectus 21

I'll order a set and give them a trial run

as of this year now using Slick Connect and Hoseless setup on all poles and reels.  Loving it, no more hose reel in the van getting in the way!  Its all nice and tidy much easier than when i used to use rectus or pro fittings.

Im loving the ease of  hoseless poles in the van and the ease of switching poles.
(Yes, ive even done a video about it lol)

I love the hip holstet i use for the tap to control the flow of water, especially where the majority of my work is compact.
However, im also enjoying the univalve on one of my poles and this is making me think of using these types of connections.
Keen to see how others get on with them

I don't understand how they work with univalve..?

They work in the same way as any rectus or hozelock fitting, so using slick connect with a univalve is not a problem.

Its just a method of connecting pole hose to main hose, so it doesnt effect the univalve which is connected to the pole hose only (brush end as well).

[adman]

Oh ok.  I thought I'd seen people fit them to the base of the pole so you just push the connector into the bottom of the pole and pull back the outer sheath to disconnect.  But then couldn't work out how you'd work it with univalve..

Never go back to regular connectors again these are the b******s
As some one said if you drove over them they would break so exceed  should make metal ones as an option

The two are very similar but different purposes.

The slick connector for joining pole hose to main hose.


Then you have the exceed hoseless kit and this is for the pole hose only.  It can and does work with the uni valve as well as the univalve is fitted at the top part of pole one.



Hope that makes it a little more clearer?

I can see why people without a hoseless setup would use them  but  why would you need to otherwise, can’t see the point or am I missing it !

OK, so if I've got 6mm ID Microbore and 5mm ID pole hose which Slick Connectors do I need? what size O clips? and who's the best company to buy them from?

If you use the tubeless set up there's no need to worry about cars etc. going over connectors as it's up inside the pole while working.
Im surprised some of you lot are still late to the party on the tubeless gear.
Once you've used it you'll never go back.
