Connecting wfp to outside tap

What item/s do I need to run my wfp from a garden hose, I’ve just purchased this but the upen end is too big?

You want rectus 21 type not 26. That's why it's too big probably.

So does anyone sell a 21 with 1/2” hose tail?

I bought a couple of these, come in handy if the person has an outside tap.

I assume you have a male rectus type connector on the end of your pole hose?

If so, fairly straightforward way of connecting to 1/2" garden hose is rectus 21 female with 6mm hosetail. Then a short length of 6mm id microbore hose. Then a 1/2" to 6mm reducing hosetail that your garden hose will fit on. Obviously 'O' ring clips or similar will be needed to secure the hose to the hosetails.

Edit: even better, Gardiner's sell one premade. http://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/all-products/pump-hose/hose-fittings-adapters/ez-snap-range/adapter-to-use-ez-snap-trade-tail-pole-with-standard-hose-reel.html

Sounds ideal, where can I get a reducing hose tail from?

 Most places. Search eBay 6mm 1/2" reducing.
