Freeflush hose adaptor/reducer, 1 1/4" to 1/2" barbed, snap lock (hozelock)
A regular problem our customers face is moving from hose, barbed or threaded fittings to other hose, barbed or threaded fittings. We make up a range of adaptors to move between fittings.
The most popular adaptor is reducing from 1 1/4" hose from our high flow diverters down to 1/2" hose.
This can be useful when running a soaker hose directly from a diverter or running a long piece of 1/2" solid hose from a diverter over a long distance when a larger hose would be uneconomical.
The draw back of reduction is this can throttle the flow resulting in peak flow exceeding the 1/2" hose capacity. The excess flow will throttle back over the diverter weir and lost down the drain. One way of increasing capacity is increasing the fall of the 1/2" hose or ensuring a section can run under pressure if throttling occurs.
