Best place for Rectus 21 connectors

[matt1458]

I’m looking to stockpile a few Rectus hose connectors so I don’t have to keep paying postage each time a couple need replacing.

Does anyone have a go-to place to get them at a decent price?

Anyone that sells the genuine original Parker ones , don’t buy the cheap eBay copies

I get mine from @Skxawng I know he gets them directly from the manufacturer so they are the good ones.

I usually buy a dozen of fittings so I have plenty spare. get them when I buy poles or filters for system.

How long should they last? I've had mine less than eight weeks, only have 75 customers a month and mine is failing regular. Really difficult to connect, pops off far to easily now, and when it does the water just flows out of it when it didn't used to.

Depends. Mine last over a year. In fact I can't remember the last time I replaced them. Not a concern for me. I do use a protector for them though.

Think Pure Freedom sell the Parker ones but I would check it with them.

Sounds as if its not connected right and you need to spray WD40 in the female end each day. Fiver a can and will last up to a year.

I don’t and I drag them on the floor all day long with no protector and they will still last about 6 months easily
Proper rectus though

This sounds familiar ?. Good advice thought,

I haven’t changed mine for just over 3 years.
This is because I keep them permanently attached, and also use the protecter thingy.
I would imagine the lifespan would be much shorter if your constantly connecting them ???‍?

Used to last about a year with the protector ball things either side.. can confirm though, as soon as you employ someone, expect their lifespan to halve overnight!
