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 ?

No they are way to big and very heavy compared to the 21

[Smudger]

They are 25mm in diameter

21’s it is then , no big deal though as £12 a year I can stomach

Darran

What are ?

What are ?

Your rectus 26's 🤣

[P @ F]

So surely a 26 will go into section 2 !

[P @ F]

Nah looks like section 2 has an ID of about 22mm

[Smudger]

I think slx sections are something like  19mm - 22mm - 25mm - 28mm

So section 4 at best if you don't use a bung/hose butt cap thingy

Sort of defeats the objective of hoseless with a 26 and an SLX 18 then

Used mine today, I was a little loathed to spend £18 on one, but thought I would try it and have to say I’m impressed with it.

I have exceed tubeless setup but hate the barb connector and o clips catching on things, I tried the exceed slick connect but broke them.

This rekprotek thing is very good seems a
Hard wearing and catches a lot less then the barb connector and keeps the rectus clean and stops it disconnecting on the floor.

Cant say ive ever had much problems with the 21s

I might go through a couple a year, maybe

But then again i rarely disconnect as i use my 25ft pole for pretty much everything

Mine arrived today looks good but very very expensive for what it is 🤣🤣 good on em they are obviously selling,it’ll do a better job than the balls do although they also work.

Yes I agree they are quite good  and will fit through the Grippatank rollers as well 😂😂

[NWH]

I’m thinking it will work well although every job I’ll have to disconnect for heater back to tank be interesting to see if it lasts being un screwed a lot.

Has every one stopped using the slick connect then i realy like them compared to the metal ones !

[NWH]

This is plastic and better being soft no chance of it cracking at all and it has a long thread so it won’t keep coming loose.

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 😁

I have been using these for years what’s the little tool you use to disconnect please.
