Hi,

Can't seem to connect it up right. Could anyone kindly upload or talk me through this please?

The small black pipe that screws into backpack, doesn't seem to connect to the main (yellow) pipe at theother end, with anything I have. I know I'm missing something here but just can't fathom it.

Iv got a big boy back pack must have had it 2 year now. Mine black pipe connect's to the pack with a plastic nut which clamps the pipe as it's tightened and the other end I've got a tap with a female rectus fitting I have these taps with rectus fittings fitted to my other trolley system that I've made and my hose reels. You need to fit a tap on the end that your pole can connect to.

 
That's the black backpack piping on the right Andy,on left are various attachments that came with this unit.

Nothing seems a direct fit to that yellow plastic screw thingy you can see at other end of black backpack piping.

Confused!

 
Yeah Halton, I've got the short pipe tightened into backpack no probs it's the connection from other end of that small black pipe to the main yellow piping I'm struggling with bud.

 
Here's how mine is set up :

Backpack


-



8mm Black Hose



-



Claber® 8mm Hose Connector with Aquastop


-

Anti-Snag 6mm Hose Tail to Hozelock Adapter


-



Pole Hose


 
Thanks Lee, failing me getting it together with what I've got here (and after googling what those parts are you mention) I'll just take it all to local plumbing centre tomorrow with your description lol

 
As shown in pick Halton (right hand side),just that black pipe with yellow screw on end. Other end has a black screw end,and is attached to backpack

 
Andy,that goes directly over the 8mm pipe and snaps on at other end yeah? It's either that or hose tail adaptor I'm needing by looks of it. Haha.

Been stressing for days over this too.

 
Yeah it's the big boy FaceLift one. Ok,hopefully local plumbing centre have something like that tomorrow, cheers once again guys.

That yellow connector goes to the pump

The end of the pipe has a lump in it

That end pokes into the plastic connector that is attached to the pump and then the yellow bit screws on

Then on the other end connect with a rectus fitting or hozelock etc to your pole hose
