Any tips for preventing hozelok connectors coming off the hose, under pressure?
Jeff Layman wrote in news:jjn948$392$1
@news.albasani.net: Apart from cutting off an inch or so off the hose as recommended by others, I have also wrapped a layer or two of insulating tape around the fitting to increase its diameter a fraction. You'll know when you've got enough tape on - if too much is wrapped round, you can't get the hose on at all. Jeff, Ah yes - that seems well worth a try - thanks! I'm not sure why I didn't think of that... Luckily I have some very good insulation tape with better stickability than most. Jim |

See http://reviews.homebase.co.uk/1494-e...36/reviews.htm for some favourable reviews. |
