The swivel works much better with the close coupled assembly. 👌

Sorry to hi-jack.
With regard to swivels which one do you find best?
Brush socket swivel, swivel adapter between standard brush socket and gooseneck socket, or gooseneck swivel?
Cheers

For me it's the 'angled' swivel which screws directly to the brush stock, then To a Quick Loq to fit plastic QL gooseneck.

Same as above but the straight version

Silly question here , I ordered a load of close couples yesterday then it occurred that when I pull on the univalve it’s will tug on the T connection ?
Have you just put a straight pushfit where hose comes out of goose neck , I use swivels ?

Hi P@F

If you are using a Univalve then it is important to isolate the brush head, T connectors and the jets from the effects of the hard pulling action that is used to operate the valve. Without being protected it can lead to T connector or jet failure.

The makers of the Univalve also recommend this and make a clip that does this job and sits just above the gooseneck itself. Or what many users do is to fit a 'tightly fitted' O clip to the Gooseneck hose so that it cannot pull back into the gooseneck. If doing this ensure that enough hose is above the clip to actually protect the fittings.

Thanks Alex , I think what I will do is put a straight pushfit and red clip where the hose leaves the goose neck , I have been doing this with a T pushfit up to now

I use 2 x small cable ties, pulled tight on the hose just as it exits the gooseneck. This acts as the 'stop' that you require. I also use Gardiner swivels.👍

Do you have a pic , I can’t see how they don’t slide up with all the pulling ?

[P @ F]

This is not working with my swivel type at all , the orange PU hose is also way too stiff !
If I had to angle the goose to do a velux the pipe would rise out and take away my Univalve stop   

[P @ F]

Panic over , found a way to sort of do it , tidier and a lot more clearance

I'll sort you a photo out soon Rich.😄

Now he says 
I’m just fitting up the last pole now !!!

[֍Winp®oClean֍]

They will move slightly over the weeks, just nip them off and pit new ones on. They need to be tight enough to bite into the pole hose but not so tight to restrict the flow.👍
Also, all season hose is soft enough not to hinder the swivel movement at all.

[P @ F]

Ahhh , I never gave the all season a thought , I have piles of it somewhere 
Good shout mate , have another look later 

[P @ F]

All sorted now and pretty happy to keep it this way , as the pole is tilted left the loop on the right shifts past the pivot position so it’s not in the way at all 

[s.w.c]

nice soft green tubing do you use it all the way through the pole, I've been using soft green 6mm tubing through my poles for years,

Just modified my 3 , got a standard Xtreme delivered on Friday which I used today , god I’ve missed that brush , at 105 gram it’s a winner but although Alex has now machined it to take pods he’s left the holes in the same too close places , why I wonder ?
So I took the pliers and band sander to the Xtreme sills I have and got them down from 138 to 115 grams !
