The best delivery hose

[RWCleaning]

I have a barbed adaptor to join two pieces of hose together and have black electrical tape wrap around multiple times to keep it watertight also works for repairs or use self-amalgamating tape or both.

Oh ok, and do you have the black ribbed plastic hose?

Yes I do, I posted a link in a previous reply as to which hose I use, this stuff doesn't split or develop pin holes.

Funny enough my delivery hose got a big split last week. I use the common black ribbed stuff. I have 20 metres of it. I went to order some more but the guy on the phone said try a splitter/adapter instead. It was only £6, so thought yeh why not. As a new hose is £45Ish

Anyway just fitted and filled up ?? Na can’t get it water tight. Was spraying everywhere. The ribbed lining inside stops you getting the adapter on far enough. So gonna order some new hose tomorrow.

But that black hose has lasted since December 16. I’ve trod on it dozens of times. And I drag it on the ground, it’s also frozen loads of times over the years etc etc. so £45 well spent. It has had several small leaks over the years, but I find a few laps of PTFE tape and then a few laps sellotape over that works fine. 

My old boss had the thicker tougher Green hose, but in the winter I think it goes too rigid for me. 
 

But now I’m quite interested in this transparent hose posted above. Hmmm...

I’ve used the same length of the green ribbed hose for 11 years. Good stuff ?

trust me its a good solid hose with a nice thickness side wall, i dont see how i could even split it if im honest. best is its braided internally (molded physically in the plastic/rubber) so the inside is smooth as glass (pun inteded) and i have found that a 38mm solvent weld waste pipe as in the photo fits snug. i put the end in the sink full of hot water for five minutes before putting a good smear of fairy on the pipe and ive never had a leak...deffo reccomend

You can cut a hole in the top of the tank, I think the lads who have done this did so with a stanley knife in an X @P4dstar is your man I think he did the neatest job 

I did indeed. I think I used a hacksaw though. This post has all the info on it, I don't have any pictures to hand ?‍
