hosepipe blows off tap with pressure
Hi,
I have two typical 'hoselock' hosepipes and connectors. They refuse to hold water when not being used, like with those gun attachments you get that can be turned off without turning the main tap off. I connect these to outside taps, even though I turned the mains water pressure down, after about 30 seconds of non use, the hose fills with water, drips at the main tap and other connections, then blows off under pressure. This is annoying and I'm sick of the garage getting flooded. Is there any screw on connectors that can be bought that I hope will be better than the push on stuff? Maybe there is some other solution.... James |
