Hose Selection Guide:

As a general rule, you should keep the hose bore as large as possible and keep the length of the hose as short as possible. Also keep the number of connections as few as possible.

• 5mm Bore Hose. The best for pole hose.
• 6mm Bore Hose: A useful hose that will fit in 50m and 100m lengths on good hose reels.
• 8mm Bore hose: Similar to the 6mm bore hose above, you can use this hose on good hose reels. Available in 50m and 100m lengths. The advantage is less pressure loss than the 6mm bore hose.
• 12.5mm Bore Hose: The best hose to use from the Water Tank, the Pump, DI Vessel and Hose Reel.

Helpful Information:

Use fittings and connectors that minimise the pressure loss on your system. The most popular hose connector for this hose is the Streamline Connector Hoselock male. Often these fittings are secured by O Clips. .Alternatively you could use Rectus 21 fittings. The Rectus 21 male fitting is often used on the pole hose and a female Rectus 21 fitting on the hose reel hose.

Another useful tip that will help you when fitting the hose over a hose tail, is to warm the end of the hose in hot water first.
