Wtaer Tap Connector

[wenson]

Hi I was reading an old 2018 Marc 674 post about making up a connector for outside tap. He was using the standard 8mm reel hose to hozelock adapter. Does it make any difference what size hose you use? I have got a 6mm horsetail tail to hozelock adapter I have had for years and never used. I personally cannot see why I cannot a small length of 6mm blue hose instead of the 8mm since it is going to be fitted to the normal 6mm pole hose anyway. If it makes a difference I will buy a adapter with 8mm hose tail.

I have a whole bag full of handy interconnect hoses I've made for various jobs. They is no limitation to making your own kit

I've made similar to these by @AW Services and they are very handy. Saves loads of messing about sometimes.

For too many new starters waste pure water on first cleans on GFS. Plug your wfp into the garden tap and away you go. Rinse only with pure
