Anyone know the best way to fix this?


1. use a plastic hose connector
2. use a small bit of 1/2" copper pipe and some steel garden wire -
but the wire must go round twice, not once. Twist ends tight and fold.


If using method 2. you could try two jub. clips. Much more satisfactory than
twisted wire.


The plus with twisted wire is not having to go into town to buy clips,
time saved. Used to do that trick years ago, and it was fine, despite
the lesser contact area.

Some of us have a box on a shelf in the garage saying 'jubilee clips
etc.' which actually has jubilee clips in it! I stocked mine
originally with a selection pack from ScrewFix and with ones recovered
from cars, old washing machines, etc. it seems to stay at a pretty
steady stoc level.
