Rectus fittings

[Jango]

I have the rectus fittings on my hose, are the brass connections better and last longer? my hose is the 6mm and pole hose is gardiners,

looking for better connections, I seem to have to change them every couple of months,

Weird. I have the steel minibore/microbore couplings, they last for years.

use one of those polyfoam balls on the tail end,it saves the fitting a lot of wear

I’ve got those on, it seems to be the inside connection, that wears.

Do you change both the male & female connectors at the same time?

I was thinking the same thing. Was thinking of swapping over to John guest fittings to try to replace rectus.

Fitting the main hose to the jg converter with jubilee clip to 1/2 push. Then 1/2 inch to 1/4 inch jg to the pole hose.

Try the slick connect, never pops off like the rectus..I’ve had mine 3 months and no leaks or any problems so far

They looked good but do they fit on pole hose to work for a tubeless diy set up, The info on website is practically non existent

A friend of mine has got the slickconnect, I thought it looked a little fragile, when you undo between each house clean.

I don’t disconnect all day long, it’s solid

I noticed on exceed website they sell a lubricant in a tub, anyone know what it is. At times I find my rectus fittings become stiff at times tried a little bit of grease but no good just wears off

Why aren't you using Slicks?

I use DIY tube less set up, No univalve I prefer a inline tap on my main hose so slicks connects are useless to me.

Just ordered one of these Slick-Connects, I am sick of Rectus or the Rectus replicas popping off and getting caught.

Thanks for the heads up guys.

I use one of those. They are great. You won’t be disappointed.

I'm sure Steve sells it to lub the Slick connectors as they can be a bit tight coupling them together and taking them apart. I would also worry about grit getting into the coupling and sticking to the grease, but I haven't got any yet so this is an imagined problem/issue.

you can get that high temp white grease for power tools?

Steve told me any lube will do.

I’ve had a Slick Connect on for a couple of months and find it better than Rectus. You don’t need the foam balls so it slides better on the ground and around walls as the shrouded part is tapered.
While the outside has got some wear, the plug inside is fine and water tight. I do disconnect between jobs.
Overall I think it’ll work out similar price wise once you factor in both parts of a rectus and foam balls.
