Any tips for preventing hozelok connectors coming off the hose, under pressure?
"Jim xzy" wrote in message . 4.11... Does anyone have any easy way of preventing Hozelock fittings from coming loose under pressure? OK, it's possible that I am not using genuine Hozelock fittings or hoses, but they are supposed to be compatible. The fittings often come loose after a while when under pressure. That is to say, the hose gets forced free of the connector. (I'm not talking about the male and female parts of a connector coming apart.) Not sure if it's the fault of the connectors or the hose, but if anyone has a method of keeping them on (short of buying new hose and fittings), perhaps you could advise... I've had similar problems, both with the genuine parts and the compatibles. I've found that (probably due to carelessness on my part while pushing the hose into the fitting) some of the plastic teeth have been bent back. You can realign these with the end of a small screwdriver if you do it very gently and then they will be OK if you don't put the tap on full pressure after that. HTH Tina |
