Hosepipe Question
Hi,
I bought a hosepipe years ago, (a LOT of years ago, now I come to think...), which was of the then very popular 'flat' variety. It was an excellent buy, and has given me years of trouble-free use. It is still fully serviceable and leak-free, and I use it all the time without any problems for straight watering. And, of course, being made of nylon fabric it is also very light and compact. I can't remember the name of the hose system, but I think it was Hydro-something. (The label is no longer on mine.) Anyway, my problem is that I want to use one of those Miracle Gro plant feeder attachments on it, but they are fitted with a male Hozelock connector. Now, this old hosepipe of mine seems to use a sort of 'reverse-Hozelock' system in that the hose ends are male, and that any spray-guns, nozzles or other attachments need to have a _female_ connector in order to fit on the end of the pipe. With the plant feeder I am faced with needing to join two male connectors together:- the feeder and my hosepipe end. The ideal solution would be a Hozelock 'Double Female' connector, but they do not seem to do them at all, and I'm a bit lost as to how to proceed. I would buy a new hosepipe with the Hozelock connectors the 'right' way around, but I can't seem to find any of those light, convenient and compact flat hosepipes anywhere either, and I don't really want a heavy conventional one if I can help it. Anyone got any suggestions as to how I can overcome my male/male problem at all please, without getting a conventional hosepipe? (And, in passing, does anyone know why they seem to have stopped selling the flat-type hoses?) Cheers, Robin McInnes Cheshire, UK (Email address contains a spam-trap. Remove it to mail me.) |
