Going tubeless!

[Jamesmarshall]

So finally got round to going hoseless this afternoon

Diy method used I couldnt justify buying a kit when it seems so simple. And  as I use gardiners twist valve all it seems I had to do was cut the hose down and re clip . Seems to work fine in practice but it shall show tomorrow in real life/worK
I hate looping hose over my arm so hopefully it’s beneficial to me!

So is it a game changer and something that once done won’t be undone like electric reels etc?

Cheers. So I would need to use the original Gardiner gooseneck with the hose going through the hole in gooseneck?

Looking at the I could 3D print the parts quite easily. Sugar it's Sunday night, if I had seen that on Friday night I might have had a play over weekend. 

It's just a bung at bottom of 1st pole section that allows the male rectus fitting (with clamp) to be held from slipping up the pole section?

Then a sleeve on the other hose end that holds the female rectus? The sleeve must somehow slide the rectus release back to disconnect?

Any picys of the sleeve?

Interesting.... Thanks very much for the picys, very helpful.

Yes you have got it right , some poles are easier to do than others it depends how long the first section is compared to all the others , the Sleave is an exceed Inovation part  expensive for what they are but last years

Bit late to take a pic but will tomorrow. I haven’t used a bung or a sleeve. The hose runs freely up and down . The 11/13m clips on the male rectus stop the hose going up the pole

it cost me less than a pound

i don’t see the need for the sleeve or the bung? Seems to work fine without them when trialling on my house

It’s working absolutely fine.  A photo doesn’t show anything as it’s literally just hose straight up to the brush end. It works perfectly without a sleeve or bung in my case. Going to have to change the hose later as I’ve cut it slightly too short
