hose fitting for Flushpro kit

[Tony Clark]

Hi all
I am located in the UK and getting a "hose tail" fitting to connect up to my "Flush pro" engine flushing kit fitted to my boat has proved impossible to date.

The male Hose tail is a 3/4" male thread straight fiiting that pushes into a standard garden hose (barbed) I have attached a picture. Flushpro don't sell the fitting seperately (DOH) and I understand that these are common in USA hardware stores.

If anyone can help me source and supply two of these I would be very grateful and will reimburse via paypal or the like.

regards

TC

I have ordered two from this company.

Many thanks for the link

$4.95 for the two fittings plus $20 for the shipping, but if they appear then it's well worth it.

I've bought from them before, Tony. No problems.
Odd that you can't find these in the UK (?). It's available in all the home improvement stores here.

The thread is classed as "american garden thread" and has a pitch of 11 1/2 TPI which is a specified thread only found on USA Garden fittings.

I did make a brass fitting that would connect to the standard UK push fit hose attachments found in the UK but my lathe skills stop short at thread cutting yet.

Still not recieved them yet !!!! however I have an email acknowledgeing there dispach.

Still confident though

Hi Tony, I am sure they will get to you soon. I have more faith in the US postal system than I have in the one from the UK. I ordered a Plastimo offshore 105 compass from Sailorsexchange in the US recently and it was half the cost of what I could buy it for in the UK and delivery was only 2 weeks.

Unusua engines you have in your boatm was it like that from new or are they replacements
