Evening folks,

I purchased a CLX Pole from Gardiners website and asked for the Hozelock tail, however I didnt order a female fitting for this so can somebody point me in the right direction, ie what to order.

Many thanks in advance

Dave

What fitting did it come with?

 
I'm guessing if you want to use that male hozelock fitting on the end of your pole and a female hozelock fitting on a 8mm hose reel you will need to make up a sort bit of 1/2 hose with the female hozelock on it. Then use a reducer barb fitting to connect the end of your 8mm hose real to.

That's just the job, Thanks very much.

You will probably need one of these for the end of your 8mm hose reel - http://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/all-products/pump-hose/hose-fittings-adapters/garden-hose-couplings/quick-release-shut-off-coupling-with-8mm-hose-barb.html

Or one of these if using 6mm ID hose - http://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/all-products/pump-hose/hose-fittings-adapters/garden-hose-couplings/aquastop-female-end-stop-fitting-for-microbore-minibore-hose.html

Most people who use 8mm ID (minibore) hose reel hose, switch to a more compact couplings range such as either the EZ- Snap - http://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/all-products/pump-hose/hose-fittings-adapters/professional-hose-couplings/ez-snap-range.html or the 26 range range - http://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/all-products/pump-hose/hose-fittings-adapters/professional-hose-couplings/pro-026-couplings.html

 
gardiners have hoselock plastic fitting straught off your 8mm hose no other fittings requred great fitting lasts ages

one point excuse the pun

when you push the male fitting into female dont twist it push it straught in otherwise you snap

lugs inside female fitting

 
I ran for a long time with just the 8mm hose pushed into a short length of 1/2" hose & retained with a few plastic cable ties, then just put a female on the end of this./emoticons/wink.png
