Whos been using them?

I've had mine for a week now and it's been great not having snags.

I usually change my rectus fittings once each month but I reckon its gonna last considerably longer now.

Why hasn't anyone thought of this before...

£18:00 :o. Think I’ll just continue to change the rectus fittings twice a year at most.

Yeah,a bit overpriced,I stop using the slick connect as its similar as it was forever catching on bins and car wheels,went back to using rectus 21 fittings but with a tap and holster.

Looks quite good if a little pricey - how much bigger do they make the fitting?

I have to say the pneumatic connectors work surprising well and do go inside the pole

Yes hoseless  - univalve inside pole

At the end of the when they disconnect we simply put a blank on the reel hose

I use rectus 26...I find these last a lot longer than the 21s.....I only change them once a year and they get dragged around and battered every day!
price higher/work harder!

Ah I see , I don’t use any more than 2 rectus  a year so it’s not really a big problem for me

I'm with Daz, rectus 26 all the way, they last ages. P@F, yes mate bigger, heavier and more expensive but worth the investment

But do they go up inside the pole as far as the top of section 2 on an SLX and Xtreme ?

I made the change because I wanted hoseless, if nothing else just to stop sh!t loads of pole hose being coiled up on the racking (8 poles) but the exceed hoseless  doesn't work with ova8 so I had my (h-man moment) idea to use pneumatic connectors

On average I was replacing 3 quick release couplings per month over 7 reels then 1  or 2 on the other  dozen assorted items like back packs......

In 4 months we have replaced 2 connectors (@95p each) - personally I find them a little more fiddly to connect than rectus but I brought a little tool that helps - having said that I seen guys take 5 minutes trying to connect a rectus fitting 🤣

We rarely disconnect more than once during the day so it works for me and I no longer bulk buy rectus fittings 😁
