So this is what I’ve received : obviously messed up somewhere, probably my mistake but I did speak to the company before I made my order to confirm .

the orange and black hozelock came with my back pack, was told to order the male hozelock to connect to that but This obviously doesn’t connect to my pole hose as that is also male!

I think you can either take of the male end from pole hose and replace with what you have in your hand or take off hozelock and put female ez snap in. I'm assuming the pipe in your left hand screws on to back pack

Yes that’s right, the first picture is the hose that connects to the backpack. I seem to missing the Female ez which is where I’ve gone wrong I think.

thanks for your help

The male hozelock could well fit inside your pole hose instead of the Ez Snap male. If you need it urgently I'd look at using it that way whilst waiting for the Ez Snap female to arrive. Removing and replacing parts from pole hoses etc is easier if you put the hose into a cup of boiling water.

Just looked at doing this but the male hozelock seems quite a bit bigger than the ez snap that’s currently in there. Didn’t want to force it in and damage the hose?? Not sure if these pictures do it justice

Scrap that, it’s done the trick. Cheers part timer

It is a bit bigger, you'd probably get it, in but not out, without damaging the pole hose.

I've heard it said you can attach the univalve without o clamps with the green pu hose although not tried it myself yet!

Not just the green hose, any PU hose ?

Just heat it up with a hot air gun or put the hose into boiling water it will fit in fine then the easy snap male looks like 5-6 and the other one looks like 8 mm

Good to know ! I need to give it a go but had no reason do dismantle my univalve recently  ? Doesn't half make it a tricky task getting those flipin o clamps off the univalve without damaging the darn thing lol

Interesting..just about to fit mine. So no o clips needed at all, just slide into hose?

I would always use clips

Well there’s no need. I have univalves on 3 poles, all without clips. Never has the hose pulled off once.

Also, if ever you do want to remove them, you just use a Stanley knife and make a cut longways down the tube, and off it pops. Piece of doddle ?

I think you would need clips if using hot water, might be wrong though. Just been out shopping for my now Friday night treat. Working away 4 days, 3 nights, next week so as hotel bar is shut ? I thought I will take my own refreshments. Hope my son isn't thirsty  :dancingparty:

We don’t use univalves but any connection using hot water needs clips or it will leak badly on some joints you have to double clip them to prevent leaks or the hose coming off the barb .

Up until fairly recently, I had hot water for 9 years ?

Interesting. I’ll be swapping my pole hose over soon as mine getting those annoying twists that never come out. I’ll try then try it without o’s

Just about to fit univalve. Watched the YouTube videos but no one seems to have the orange hose connected to the brush head, this came with my order. Everyone just seems to be connecting the pole hose directly to the head? Will it matter if I connected univalve to the green hose even though that’s not connected to brush head? 

 

[scottish cleaning service]

Make sure you get the univalve the right way up and don't shove the hose right up to the body of the univalve. The stopper on the hose that comes through the pole is critical because it will be taking all the force. I use PU hose and don't fit clips on it to hold as once its on its not coming off again.
