there a brilliant bit of kit,it will make your working day faster,no tangles & hose everywhere.also nice dry van!!
you get what you pay for in life,ive also tried the diy method but its not as fast and as efficient.this conversion would pay for its self in a couple of house cleans
Anyone got any pics of DIY versions?Rubbish......people convince themselves that because they've paid 'X' amount for this (and many other products which you could make yourself), they think it must be better than a DIY version......total :BS:
....and as for 'not as fast and as efficient'...........:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:......your connecting two hoses together ....
...and as for 'paying for itself in a couple of house cleans'.......if you think about it, it can be done for FREE.....or at most....the price of a cup of tea :thumbs:.
thats a much easier idea but i prefer this way myself as i dont need a tap in the line when i disconnect the hose from the pole,the female rectus fitting has a water stop inside.whats this buy stuff ?????
simply cut your tail down to 2inc sticking out of the bottom , put a male ez fitting on the end with a o clip
widen end cap with a drill to make hole bigger and it done no cost , 5 minutes work and your ready to go
Can't open the attachments1. Buy a pack of John Guest 22mm pipe inserts from B&Q - about £3 for 5 - Photo12. Slide out the No.1 section from a Gardiner (or most other brand poles) pole
3. Wrap tape around the stem of this fitting until it is a tight fit in the base of section 1 - Photo2 and 3
4. Slide a length of pole hose (either PU or PVC) through section 1 and exit through the new fitting at the base
5. Fit a Rectus male fitting to the base of the pole hose, ensuring that the clip is as close to the male fitting as possible - Photo 4 - Then push this tightly into the John Guest fitting as shown
6. At the top end of section 1 fit whichever gooseneck you want to use and then pull the pole hose as tight as possible out of the top of the gooseneck
7. Holding the pole hose tightly just above the gooseneck to stop it pulling back in, cut the pole hose above where you are holding it and push-fit on an 8mm-8mm straight connector with red locking clip already fitted to the pole hose
8. Let go of the pole hose and it will pull the 8mm-8mm fitting tight back against the gooseneck opening- Photo 5
9. Slide the No.1 section back down into the pole
10. Connect your brush to the gooseneck and then connect the Brush T to the gooseneck connector with a short length of hose - Photo 6
11. Remove the end cap from your pole and cut out a much larger hole with a sharp knife. There needs to be enough of a lip for the cap to stay in position on the base - Photo7 & 8
12. In use, connect the female coupling of the hose pack to the base of the pole, extend and use the pole - photo 9 & 9.1
13. When finished with the pole disconnect the female coupling by pulling back the collar and put the pole away
14. The complete kit of parts needed (most you should have already) - photo attached
This will take about 10 minutes at most to do.
I don't have a tap in line and theres a female rectus on the end of the reel hose how else would you join them ?? lolthats a much easier idea but i prefer this way myself as i dont need a tap in the line when i disconnect the hose from the pole,the female rectus fitting has a water stop inside.
Lol I join them like this picture with jubilee clamps, one of the advantages of doing it like this is you got the rectus tooked up inside the pole and not getting dragged about on the floor!!I don't have a tap in line and theres a female rectus on the end of the reel hose how else would you join them ?? lol
