I Need Two 3/4" Screw in Connectors For My DI

[Tuffers]

One of my DI's has the Hozelock screw in connectors and it leaks. I want 2x double ended 3/4" connectors so that I can screw a hozelock on it. I've been searching Google for the last hour and all I've found are some on Gapswater Vessel Parts 5th item down, but I ain't paying bloody 8 quid postage!!!

Anyone ever bought any? I've searched ebay with no luck. Do you sell them at all @doug atkinson?

Agreed, you can just use these. My last vessels had these.

DAQUA - Suppliers of Hoses, Hose Reels, Hose Connectors and Rectus Fittings

Scroll down the page, you can buy these in B&Q. Hoselock are better quality as buying cheap you end up snapping them.

No mate, that's what I have in one of the DI's and it leaks. If I screw it in too far the hozelock won't click on to it. I need a 3/4" with male thread each end so I can screw a female hozelock nozzle on it.

You just need about Ten wraps of PTFE tape.

You just need PTFE tape mate. Don't be shy with it, a good Ten wraps and you'll be leak free./emoticons/wink.png

I just use 1/2 inch John guest ones. Screw one end. Push fit other.

Used plenty, still leaking. Could be the rubber ring on the male Hozelock is knackered.

Got a link or pics Damo? Did you screw JG into the vessel or did you screw JG onto a 3/4" male coming off the vessel?

 

[Damo]

Will have a look in a second. Pretty sure they screw straight in on ours.

I do use an adapter. Didn't think I did!
