The plastic Hozelock connector between the gun and the hosepipe is constantly coming off the end of the hose no matter how tight I screw it up. Anyone aware of a connector that will do the job better, or accept something like a jubilee clip to make sure it stays in place, and that will also take the Hozelock gun? cut a couple of inches off the pipe and try again +1 Also make sure that: The prongs on the conenctor are OUTSIDE the hosepipe and That the inner connector tube RIGHT inside is *PUSHED* all the way inside the hosepipe. Unless he has very high local water pressure or an undersized piece of hosepipe I can't see the problem. I have used Hozelock and other still cheaper clones on my hoses without any bother at all. User error is the most likely explanation if it isn't gripping properly. -- Regards, Martin Brown |
