Water hose reducer

Post by **glenn77** » 22 Sep 2008, 09:40

Does anyone know where i can get hold of a rubber water hose reducer with 32mm at one end and 38mm at the other so i can join old metal 32mm long water pipe to new 38mm plastic replacement pipes ????

Theres a prob. If it were me, and I'm not absolutely sure it would work, is find a hose somehere in between and force one end on, and tighten the other end down with a jubilee clip? Sounds a bit barbaric but otherwise try a hose specialist and see what they can come up with.

under the silicon reducers section.
Total cost for 4 with vat and p+p was £25
