how'd the hell do i stick my bently brush (thin treaded, non tapering) to a heavy
tapering angle adapter?
easy peasy

get yerself somehow a metal/aluminium male tapered thread an heat it up on the ol' gas ring
when "hot enough" screw into offending brush
new threads will form
if they dont y'havent heated it up enough
worked well for me this morning

i want a nobell prize for this

[frames to panes]

Where do you find a metal matching thread?

[jikwan]

been using a soviet style really heavy gardiners 18 foot f'er a while
think its called "universal"
male screw is heavy tapered- fit for a vikan
i guess its aluminium
this same thread fits to your usual angle adapter

the fact is--- if you heat up metal threads an screw it to plastic at right temp
threads are made

[frames to panes]

Ah right, i could do with something like that - only found plastic so far.

[jikwan]

no way plastic gonna work
maybe contact gardiner ask for a male screw

anyway youve got my concept

[Jeff Brimble]

Thats one nobel wfp prize awarded, aint heard it before on any forum.

[jikwan]

scientific fact
heat threaded screw(metal) into underbored plastic and turn
waddaya get?
perfect threads or almost

[matt]

couldnt you just get a unger vikan threaded adaptor

Hi Folks,

I use the "Unger" style ali poles. So I decided to use a standard pole cone and bolt it in the brush threaded stock. That way I don't have to screw the brush of if I want to change it .  I just release the cone with the spring clip, release the pipe at the T piece and away goes the brush.  Then I can put an Etore 4" scraper on to budge any "superglue" bird poop.

A weak tread that will allow brush to turn shortley after

david, that will not help many here, as they all belive you need a 300 quid pole to do the job, if you havent got it, your a cowboy cleaner 

thats the best thing about the unger, you can adapt it to so many uses

ww,
got a point there-A weak tread that will allow brush to turn shortley after

the fact, as i see it is:
underbored hole (plastic) will form perfect threads if a heated metal threaded screw is inserted and turned
i do believe it is the strongest thread thats possible as compared to tapping

if hole is not underbored enough or metal screw isnt heated to optimum temp then-
the brush turns and even falls off

with me and my problem it was a quick fix and cheap

will this brush fall off?-----it might do   i dont have 100% confidence  but its very firm

to do the job very properly i got to get the thread heated the right temp enough
to "melt" the plastic

but from this concept, i think its possible to fit safetly any brush to angle adapter

[matt]

1 of my angle adaptors broke and i did the same, just screwed it on metal to plastic and drilled a hole though it and put a nut an bolt though it, it lasted ages, infact i still have it as a spare in the van

[john tomkins]

Nice one jikwan

I had a gaz salmon brush fall off a plastic angle adapter yesterday coz the brush threads were almost non-existant, I got a metal thread hiding somewhere in the garage so will give it a go later.
Cheers

Mmm there's a nice looking B&Q brush i want to play with, but it has a strange thread, might be a way to adapt it. I've not come across a metal vikan style taper yet, i'll keep looking.

I've found 2 in the garage that I certainly wont be wanting again so if you want one of them let me know

I have been using a 5 metre telescopic aluminium Harris decorators pole from B&Q for the last 3 months. It cost under £15. How cowboy like is that?
The fact is it does the job perfectly well, and I use it for 95%of my domestics.

Some aluminium brush or mop handles are exactly the same diameter as the unger no 2 section. If you use an Unger pole, you can cut 4 inches off the brush handle at the threaded end and it fits perfectly onto the end of the unger no 1 section. Dai
