Can anyone help with setting up a 2 man set up.    2 reels  , 2 pumps . 2 batteries.     i have these  from a previous setup.    any pics showing main connections  from water tank.      i can do the rest with hoses etc.        im just looking at what will be the best fitting to put on that will turn one outlet off when not using.     may be only used 1/2 day week     Maybe a Y piece ,

If you use a Y piece you could fit valves so when you are using it as a 1 man just block the other side off with that sides valve,obviously valves after Y piece that’s what I’d do.

We use John Guest 1/2" fittings, taps & tubing on our two man setups.

I don't see why you need to turn one outlet off though if using stop ends of some sort on your hoses, unless your using external van ports?

[NWH]

I was just thinking that if you left one open you may get an air problem maybe not.

You wont need 2 batterys.

[NWH]

You will if you’ve got a heater lol.

[johnny bravo]

ill look into a heavy duty brass Y  piece with taps built on.  one reel will only be used 1 or 2 days .     if like the Swivel Elbow on reels   im sick of replacing these.      Sometimes you may be lucky and get no leaks

[NWH]

You want the large stainless steel ones like the ones Grippa use on the systems they supply,I know you can get these Y fittings in stainless steel I have seen them advertised.

Yeah that’s it far better quality they last years without leaking. 👍

[johnny bravo]

where would i find these ,       to have a leak free system must be heaven

[johnny bravo]

what is it connected to

[Simon Trapani]

Can’t beat John Guest imo:

[NWH]

Yeah John Guest as above probably better tbh my system is John Guest never ever leaks,I forgot they also do that double fitting.
The pipes in that picture with the twist valves that’s what I meant earlier.

The stainless steel fittings pictured above are known as NITO fittings. Use to use them but switched over to John Guest fittings.

Grippatank or Gardiners sell them mine came from Grippatank

[NWH]

Those 2 fittings are the best for any system imo the stainless for the hose reel and the John Guest for the system itself,I really can’t understand why people use other rubbish like hose lock etc complete rubbish leak like billyo.

i went into a local hydraulics firm today,    he says they use mild steel   so will be  of no used to me.   doh  i thought.   told me to just get brass fittings.

[johnny bravo]

where is best place for john guest fittings.  as above.     what do you use instead of garden hose

[Simon Trapani]

Gardiners used to sell John Guest 1/2” fittings & tubing but I don’t think they do now. Google it. Just don’t get it mixed up with 15mm John Guest Speed fit. They’re not interchangeable. It’s the grey coloured 1/2” you want, not the white. The tubing itself comes in various colours. I have clear so you can see any air bubbles. Then a JG stem to barb with stainless jubilee clip for final run of clear hose  to the reels. They do all types of fittings & taps.
